Private Tutors in Edinburgh and Tutoring in Edinburgh

Ord Adams

National 5, Higher Maths tutor offering Maths lessons in Murrayfield, Edinburgh

£40.00-45.00Academic tutor

Muddled Maths is an affliction which Ord is obsessed with helping to cure. Qualifications: B.Arch (Hons); Cert. Ed. He works between two independent schools. Website www.muddledmaths.com explains that he brings to each tutorial ... in addition to his 25 years’ experience ... a unique library of original and imaginative visual material. His slightly unorthodox approach can unlock maths concepts. He prefers to tutor at pupils' homes in West Edinburgh where his one-to-one fee is around £40 per hour but, if pupils of equal ability can be paired up, the rate falls to £26. Charges depend on distance and seasonal demand.

Chenyao - Mandarin Chinese Tutor

Beginner, Intermediate English as a Foreign Language, Mandarin, Chinese tutor in Morningside, Edinburgh, Lothians, Scotland

£23.00-35.00Academic tutor

Hi, my name is Chenyao. I am a native mandarin Chinese speaker. I have lived the in Edinburgh for the past 10 years. My professional background is in business and international trade. However I love languages and teaching. I started private tutoring in my university days and carried on ever since in my spare time. My clientele for Mandarin Chinese tutoring are mostly adults who have a fond interest in Chinese culture, or a work connection with Chinese market/companies. Although occasionally I do have younger students too. I believe the best way to learn a language is to learn through context. I therefore use a lot of examples in my teaching, and I endeavor to create a lot of opportunities for students to speak during the sessions. Students feel stimulated and fulfilled when they finish a session. Currently I also teach speaking English as a foreign language through a Chinese online platform. I look forward to helping you having fun while learning Mandarin or English as a foreign language.

I can provide you with friendly, individualised tutoring in English, from the new Nationals at Secondary school to University postgraduate literature theses. I can also proofread other written work. Together we can identify the skills and knowledge you want to develop, and plan suitable lessons to meet your own time-scale; this can include preparing for official exams. As a Secondary school teacher in Edinburgh I have taught all aspects of English in the curriculum; my university teaching, in Edinburgh and Istanbul, ranged from medieval to postmodern literature. Whatever area of English you are studying I would be happy to help.

REGISTERED TEACHER: degree in French as a foreign language in Spain master in modern language for education in Spain registered in Scotland. EXPERIENCED: 4 years in a high school / 10 years as a private teacher. ONLINE LESSONS: I use skype/hangout and a platform online (moodle). I send all the documents and links necessary to teach. We just have to conect to skype and let's speak! THE LESSONS: I focus on the vocabulary and the speaking. I propose a lot of different activities (games, listening with songs, videos, reading....). I adapt myself to each needs. Free first try!

Student centred, effective tuition. I have 25+ years experience in schools in UK and overseas preparing students for external examinations in a variety of different examination systems. I will meet with you to discuss and assess your individual needs before you need to make any commitment.

With nearly twenty years of teaching experience, I customise my lessons to fit each student’s individual needs. For secondary school, I try to make English relevant and fun, while making the exam as stress-free as possible. For university students, I specialise in proof-reading for most subjects of study and offer guidance for structure and analysis of all levels of papers for English (including postgraduate). For Postgraduate students, I offer advice on handling difficult advisors and supervisors as well as offering feedback on dissertations. Qualifications: MA English Literature, Postgraduate Certificate in Education, PhD English Literature (viva passed, degree pending)
