Ian was extremely patient and thorough in tutoring my daughter who had relocated from another country and had to quickly adjust to a new curriculum in Scotland for Chemistry Highers. He worked diligently to get her up to speed and be prepared for her Highers exams and was excellent at explaining difficult concepts. I would definitely recommend Ian as a chemistry tutor.
From Elizabeth
My daughter went from a C in her Prelim to an A grade in her finals. Ian made Chemistry fun, interesting and understandable. He was consistent in his belief that she could achieve a better grade and this provided her with both the motivation and self belief that she could do so. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian as he is friendly and hugely likeable.

Helped our daughter go from failed prelim to grade B in Nat 5 chemistry. She liked Ian's teaching style and her confidence improved greatly. He gives helpful feedback at the end of each session to student and parents. Would highly recommend. Thanks Ian!
From Robyn
Ian is a fantastic tutor. I did Higher Chemistry with no previous chemistry knowledge, and managed to successfully get a B in the final exam. Ian was always punctual, very flexible and he always explained everything in great detail to make it really easy to understand. He tailored his teaching style to suit my learning requirements and we worked together to find a way I learned best. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ian to others.

Ian has been providing tutoring for my daughter for Advanced Higher Chemistry for 2 weeks. He has given her renewed confidence in her ability and she is absolutely benefiting from Ian's style of tutoring. He is very easy to deal with and has been very prompt in all correspondence.

Ian did an intense 3 day tutoring session the week before the Chemistry higher exam for my son Jack. Ian worked diligently with Jack setting homework each night. I am delighted to say that Jack passed his higher chemistry and Ian played a key role in this achievement. Ian also delivered a well done on passing your exams card to Jack which I thought was a lovely touch. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ian for tutoring - he made the difference for Jack.

Ian is a fantastic tutor. He helped my son and daughter with their Higher Chemistry. They both passed. My son was not recommended by the school to sit his final exam after failing his prelim,Ian really helped him and boosted his self esteem, he got a C pass. My daughter was crashing her Chemistry and got a B pass. Ian is punctual, reliable, consistent, a great motivator, patient, and totally dedicated to helping his pupils achieve their best. He is going on to help my daughter with Advanced Higher Chemistry this year.
