One tutor.
A broader education.
Private tuition, home education, and educational consultancy from Edinburgh, for families in the UK and worldwide.
AN INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE
A wider view of a pupil’s education.
Subject expertise is everything. But so too is an understanding of the whole education. I teach across the sciences and humanities, giving pupils and their families academic breadth, continuity, and one trusted educational relationship.
For some families that means weekly Maths tuition. For others, it means taking responsibility for several subjects, planning a home-education programme, or maintaining continuity while a young athlete travels internationally.

CONTINUITY, WHEREVER LIFE TAKES YOU
Education that moves with the pupil.
When a pupil’s life cannot fit neatly around a school timetable, their education needs to be more adaptable.
I adjust lesson times, homework, and workload around travel, training, and competition. The schedule can change from week to week; the educational relationship remains consistent.
WORDS FROM A PARENT
“Michael has been tutoring our 11-year-old daughter for two years via online courses. He has been working on the subjects of Science and Maths. During this period of time, we have seen increasing interest and confidence and significant improvement in her study of these areas at school. Michael is always on time, friendly, positive, and professional in his lessons.”

CONSIDERED, INDEPENDENT GUIDANCE
Choosing the right school is more than an admissions exercise.

LET’S BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION
Tell me what your child needs.
Every arrangement begins with a complimentary 30-minute introductory conversation. We can discuss the pupil’s current position, objectives, and timetable, and decide whether I am the right person to help.
I usually respond within a few hours on weekdays.
