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 matters. So does understanding how the pieces fit together. 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.
HOW I CAN HELP
Support for what comes next.
Private Tuition
Individual tuition from GCSE and National 5 through to A Level and Higher.
02Home Education
Cross-curricular teaching, planning, mentoring, and reporting from one consistent tutor.
03Educational Consultancy
Independent guidance on school selection, entrance preparation, and admissions strategy.
04Revision Courses
Small online Easter and exam-season intensives in Maths and the sciences.
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
“Within a few tutorials, my son’s grades went up significantly, as did his motivation. Michael has a talent for enthusing and positively motivating students while helping them to relax. He genuinely cares about the best interests of each pupil, and his ability to cover several subjects allows for genuine personalisation.”

CONSIDERED, INDEPENDENT GUIDANCE
Choosing the right school is more than an admissions exercise.
Academic standard, school culture, and the pastoral environment all matter. So do a pupil’s character, interests, and ambitions. I help families consider those things together, with independent guidance on school selection and preparation.

I usually respond within a few hours on weekdays.
