Absolutely. Holiday tutoring is an excellent time to focus on exam preparation without the pressures of regular schoolwork. We can help your child with revision techniques, past papers, and mastering the specific content required for SQA National 4/5, Higher, and Advanced Higher exams. Our goal is to build your child’s confidence and ensure they are well-prepared to achieve their best possible results.

Our tutors are highly qualified educators with in-depth knowledge of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. They have extensive experience teaching in Scottish schools and are familiar with the specific learning outcomes and assessment standards of the CfE. Each tutor is selected for their expertise, passion for teaching, and ability to engage and inspire students.

Holiday tutoring is ideal if your child could benefit from extra support, wants to get ahead, or needs help with specific challenges. It’s also a great option if you’re looking to keep your child engaged and productive during the break. If you’re unsure, we offer an initial consultation to discuss your child’s needs and determine the best approach to support their learning journey.

We begin with an assessment of your child’s current knowledge and areas of need, then create a personalised plan focused on their unique goals. Whether they need help with a particular subject, exam preparation, or general confidence-building, our tutors adapt each session to address those needs, ensuring a targeted and effective learning experience.

Holiday tutoring provides a focused learning environment free from the usual school distractions, allowing your child to consolidate knowledge and address any areas of difficulty. It’s an opportunity to reinforce key concepts, build confidence, and get ahead for the upcoming term. Our tailored sessions ensure your child returns to school feeling prepared and motivated.

Is tutoring only for children who are struggling?

We consider factors like the subject, the student’s learning style, and any specific challenges or objectives. Our aim is to create a comfortable and supportive environment where your child can thrive.
