What Families Say About Jamie’s National 5 Chemistry Tuition
The reviews below were submitted through First Tutors and relate specifically to Jamie’s tutoring, including National 5 Chemistry support.
NATIONAL 5 CHEMISTRY
Verified First Tutors Review
“Jamie has been tutoring my 15 year old daughter for a few weeks in Nat 5 Chemistry. All the sessions have been tailored so areas that were causing concern for her have been fully revised. Jamie is very flexible, patient and friendly in his approach and he has extensive knowledge on the subjects that he teaches. Each session is planned in advance and he emails all the notes after the session which has proved useful for reference purposes. With every session my daughters confidence in the subject has increased. If you are looking for a friendly, knowledgeable tutor to motivate your child, I would highly recommend Jamie.”

Verified First Tutors Review
“Our son has been receiving Nat 5 tuition in Chemistry for a few weeks now and already feels much more confident in a subject he previously struggled with; gaining a good pass mark in a recent unit assessment. Jamie has an easy going manner and very quickly established a positive working relationship with our son. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
