A fully qualified English teacher with years of classroom experience.
I'm the English teacher behind Universal Tutor, bringing years of classroom teaching experience alongside experience as a Qualifications Scotland marker. I combine engaging teaching with an insider's understanding of how SQA assessments are marked, helping students build confidence and achieve their best in National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English.
Progress happens when a student feels understood. Every lesson begins there — with attention, patience, and a plan built for them alone.

Qualifications Scotland English Specialist
Teaching Philosophy
Great English teaching begins with careful listening. I get to know each student — how they think, where they hesitate, what they love — and design lessons that meet them exactly where they are.
Qualifications
A fully qualified English teacher with a Qualifications Scotland marker. Detailed credentials are shared during our initial conversation so you have complete peace of mind before lessons begin.
Experience
Years of classroom experience preparing Scottish students for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English, both in school and one-to-one online.
Why I Started Universal Tutor
I wanted to offer families the kind of thoughtful, unhurried support that busy classrooms rarely allow — where every lesson is genuinely built around one student.
My Approach
Structured, warm and calm. We move at a pace that builds real understanding, with clear feedback after every session and gentle stretch when it matters most.
What Parents Can Expect
Honest communication, timely updates, and a tutor who genuinely cares about your child's growth — academically and personally.
