What we teach

Subjects

We specialise in Maths and Physics, allowing us to provide focused, high-quality support in the subjects we know best. Our exam courses clearly explain what students will learn, how they’ll be assessed and where additional tuition can make the biggest difference. We also support S1 to S3 students, helping them build strong foundations and confidence before progressing to exam-level study.

Your Child’s Journey Through Scottish Secondary School

A simple guide to the Scottish secondary school years, the qualifications students typically work towards at each stage, and how we can support them along the way. Ages are shown as a general guide and may vary slightly between students.

Not everyone follows this exact path

Some pupils sit National 5 a year earlier or later, some take Higher across S5 and S6, and plenty take a mix of National 4, National 5 and Higher at once. If your child is off this grid, that is normal, and the free evaluation is the place to work out what they actually need.

We teach Maths and Physics from S1 through to Higher, one to one and online.
