Subjects

Hi, I’m Gaia, a fully qualified Maths and Physics tutor in Edinburgh. I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Physics from Heriot-Watt University and went on to complete my PGDE in Secondary Physics and Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh. I now teach Maths and Physics in Scottish secondary schools, giving me daily experience of how students learn best and how to prepare them for success in exams.

I have been tutoring with Central Tutors for over two years, and during this time I have supported a wide range of students across Edinburgh and online. Many of my students have achieved excellent results in their exams, improved by one or more grade bands, and developed much greater confidence in their ability. Parents often describe me as approachable and supportive, while students value my clear explanations and structured lessons.

As a dedicated Maths and Physics tutor in Edinburgh, I specialise in the Curriculum for Excellence and the SQA exam system, working with students at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I also support younger learners in early secondary years, ensuring they build the right foundations to succeed later on. My approach is always tailored to the individual — I take the time to understand how each student learns and adapt my teaching style to suit their needs.

I am passionate about making Maths and Physics accessible and enjoyable. My lessons are designed not only to prepare students for exams, but also to build problem-solving skills, boost confidence, and inspire a lasting interest in these subjects. If you are looking for a friendly, results-driven Maths and Physics tutor in Edinburgh, I would love to help your child achieve their full potential.

Alongside tutoring, I am a qualified teacher of Maths and Physics in Scottish schools, which gives me a deep understanding of the Curriculum for Excellence. I know exactly what examiners look for in SQA assessments, and I use this knowledge to prepare students thoroughly for National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher. 

I believe every student can succeed in Maths and Physics with the right support. My teaching style is friendly, patient, and adaptable, and I always tailor lessons to the learner’s goals. Here’s how I help students excel: Proven results – guided students to success at National 5 and Higher Confidence building – problem-solving strategies and exam practice reduce stress and build belief Engaging lessons – interactive, enjoyable sessions keep students motivated Tailored support – personalised plans for catching up, pushing ahead, or preparing for exams I see my role as more than just a tutor — I’m a mentor who helps students believe in their abilities and reach their full potential.
