ONE-TO-ONE TUITION
From a weekly Maths lesson to sustained support across several subjects, I offer individual tuition built around the pupil’s competencies, interests, and ambitions.
THE APPROACH
I take time to establish rapport, find out where understanding is secure, and identify what needs attention. Lessons combine clear explanations, careful practice, and purposeful discussion.
Exam results are important. I work on the relevant specification, question technique, and revision habits, while helping pupils make connections and become more confident, intellectually rounded learners.
SCIENCES & HUMANITIES
Also available at GCSE, IGCSE, and National 5. International A Level tuition is available in these subjects.
Including IGCSE, with teaching adapted to the relevant specification.
PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
Tuition can be weekly, intensive, short-term exam preparation, or longer-term academic support. A lesson is usually around an hour, with flexibility where a different arrangement would be more useful.
I teach online internationally, including pupils following British curricula in the UK, the Gulf, India, and Sri Lanka. Lessons take account of the pupil’s exam board and time zone.
In-person tuition may be available by arrangement in New Town, the West End, and nearby central Edinburgh. I occasionally travel to London to work with existing home-education pupils around important exams; families can discuss this as a separate premium arrangement.
WORDS FROM A PARENT
“Mikey Rothwell has been tutoring our nine-year-old daughter since December 2021 at our home. He has been working on her English comprehension skills, and we have noticed a significant improvement in this subject as a result. We were very pleased with her latest exam results. He is always on time and very professional.”

CONFIDENCE & CONTINUITY
I have experience supporting pupils with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. I adapt explanations, pace, and lesson structure in conversation with the pupil and family.
Mentoring can include regular check-ins, organisation, goal setting, and accountability. For pupils finding school or study difficult, a consistent and encouraging academic relationship can help. This is educational support; I do not provide clinical or therapeutic services.
FROM MY PRACTICE
A CLEAR STARTING POINT
Hourly rates for new direct clients. Subject availability varies by level and will be confirmed before tuition begins.
Longer or more intensive arrangements can be discussed according to the pupil’s requirements.

WORDS FROM A PARENT
“We really appreciated Michael's flexibility and availability in the year he spent tutoring our son his A Level Maths. He really liked working with Michael and spoke so highly of him. In fact, he said he had never been taught so well in his life. Michael took on so much for him and it was brilliant so thank you again.”

LET’S BEGIN WITH A CONVERSATION
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.
