Hello,

My name is David, and I am pleased to be offering private tutoring lessons in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of Mechanics all up to and including Advanced Higher.

I am a recent masters graduate of the University of Edinburgh, obtaining a first class degree in theoretical physics. I also run my own pany, NovaTutors, where I manage our team of over 50 private tutors across Scotland. This has given me an unparalleled grasp of what works and what doesn't when revising and a deep understanding of the subjects that your child is studying. This, combined with over five years of tutoring experience, allows me to develop your child’s subject ability to a greater extent than they would often achieve in school.

When I sat my own school exams I achieved six A-band ones at Higher and four A-band ones at Advanced Higher (Maths, Mechanics, Physics and Chemistry). I attained 99% in my Advanced Higher Maths exam and 98% in my Higher maths exam. As one of the 3 highest achieving students in Scotland I was awarded an SQA star award upon leaving high school.

I am highly passionate about the subjects I teach and can enthusiastically guide a student through difficult problems and concepts, helping them develop their core understanding of the subject. I am also able to teach students good exam technique and the best ways for them to learn and revise on their own, which is vital for preparing for exams and learning new material.

I prefer to carry my lessons out online and I currently have a few slots available this term and so if you are interested in receiving tutoring then please message me either through vagood, or by phone/email.

Thanks for reading!

A few testimonials:

- Higher Maths and Physics 2021/22:
“My son was tutored by David for Higher physics and maths. From the very beginning he put my son at ease, making fantastic use of the time available to pack in as much learning and problem solving as possible. David knows and understands the curriculum thoroughly and at every stage my son left feeling positive about the experience and with a clear understanding of what he had been taught. David built up his confidence, was proactive in providing hints and tips for exam technique, and through his advice equipped my son with the tools to enter the exam with thorough knowledge and a newfound confidence. I cannot mend him highly enough.”

- Higher Chemistry & Maths 2018/2019

“David helped our eldest daughter with extra tuition in the run-up to her Higher Chemistry and Maths exams. After her preliminary results, we felt she would benefit from some extra help and were lucky enough to find David.

His calm and assured manner ensured our daughter was engaged at all times. His sessions allowed her to spend quality time refreshing parts of the course syllabus that she was less sure of and cementing her understanding with past paper questions.

We were delighted when our daughter received her Higher results and know the tuition, she received from David had a positive impact upon her final grades.”

“David is a fantastic tutor and has been worth his weight in gold! My son is dyslexic, and he found David’s help invaluable in helping him to pass his Highers. My son said that David was very good at explaining everything that he needed to know. He was able to help him with Chemistry, Physics, and some Maths. With David’s support he was able to achieve A’s in all these subjects. I am very, very, grateful for David’s tutoring and cannot mend him enough.”
