Over a Decade of Proven Results
Jamie has been tutoring Chemistry and Maths for over 10 years, working with students at every stage of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. He knows exactly where students typically struggle at each level and how to bridge the gap between what a student currently understands and what they need to achieve their target grade. As the founder of Central Tutors – Scotland’s dedicated STEM tutoring agency – he has built an exceptional team of specialists around the same principles that have driven his own tutoring success.
Academic Credentials
Jamie’s subject knowledge goes significantly deeper than most private tutors. He holds a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Glasgow Caledonian University, conducted in collaboration with The James Hutton Institute – a world-leading environmental research organisation – within the Water Research Group. He also holds a Masters in Chemistry (University of Edinburgh), a Masters in Analytical Chemistry (Robert Gordon University) and an HND in Chemical Engineering. He is a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and is completing his Chartered Chemist (CChem) accreditation. For students, this means working with someone who genuinely understands Chemistry at the deepest level – making even the most demanding Advanced Higher content logical and approachable.
Tailored Lessons for Every Student
Every student Jamie works with gets a personalised approach. His first priority is identifying exactly where understanding breaks down – then rebuilding from that point with clarity and patience. Sessions are structured around the SQA curriculum at the student’s specific level, focused on developing real understanding rather than memorising answers. Detailed feedback after every session and regular progress updates mean parents always know exactly how their child is improving.
Comprehensive Knowledge of the SQA Curriculum
Jamie’s knowledge of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence is built on years of working specifically with SQA qualifications at every level. He understands the marking criteria, the past paper patterns and the specific techniques that examiners reward – knowledge that translates directly into better results for his students. His scientific background means he can explain not just what the curriculum requires but why the science works, giving students an understanding that goes beyond what they need for their exam and builds a genuine foundation for future study.
