Subjects

I’m Michael, an experienced Physics tutor in Inverness with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience across the full SQA Physics curriculum, from National 4 to Advanced Higher.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Physics from the University of Edinburgh and a PGDE in Physics and Science from the University of Aberdeen. I’ve taught in Scottish secondary schools since 2014 and have helped hundreds of students improve their understanding, confidence, and exam performance.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked in management and telecoms, giving me a valuable perspective on how Physics connects to real-world problem-solving. My lessons draw on that experience, helping students see how Physics relates to technology, energy, and engineering.

As a qualified teacher and SQA Advanced Higher marker, I know exactly what examiners look for and how to help students achieve the top grades. Parents describe my approach as calm, organised, and supportive, while students appreciate my clear explanations and structured guidance.

I teach online, supporting students across the Highlands, Moray, and beyond. Whether your child is aiming to pass National 5, secure a strong Higher grade, or excel at Advanced Higher, I’ll help them build confidence, strengthen problem-solving skills, and reach their full potential.

If you’re looking for a reliable and results-driven Physics tutor in Inverness, I’d be delighted to help your child succeed.

Personally Interviewed

Each of our tutors is carefully selected through a comprehensive vetting process. They aren’t just knowledgeable in their subjects—they’re experienced educators committed to student success.
Here’s how we ensure you’re in safe hands:

I have been teaching and tutoring since I qualified as a teacher.  Prior to that I was heavily involved in staff development and management.

I have a wealth of experience in supporting students working towards National 4, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Physics and achieve excellent results.

Additional to my tutoring experience I am an SQA marker for both the Advanced Higher exam and Project.

 

 

My tutoring approach is tailored to the student.  Building a trusting and supportive working relationship is key to enabling me to identify and correct gaps in knowledge and misunderstandings.  I will use practice ad prior exam questions to identify these areas and will adapt my teaching approaches to suit the learner.

I have significant experience with neurodivergent learners and find my supportive, laid back approach beneficial to them.
