About Michalis
I have been a full-time Private Tutor in Edinburgh since 2008 and I've had the privilege to teach more than 400 students during the past 15 years.
I can accept students in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, offering either home or online tuition.
I worked as a Physics teacher at the Basildon Upper Academy and I was also formerly employed by other High Schools in the Edinburgh area to deliver supplementary tutorial classes. Moreover, I was registered for a number of years as a supply Chemistry teacher with the Edinburgh Academy.
I acquired an additional 4 years of teaching experience in academia (Heriot-Watt University).
Prior to my teaching career, I worked as a Research Scientist at Cranfield University (Welding Engineering Research Centre).
I have an established research record, which includes publications in peer-reviewed academic journals and international conferences.

I have a long teaching experience which enables me to identify each student's learning style and tailor the lesson to their personal needs. I am well-familiar both with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence, as well as with the English AQA syllabus (GCSE/A level). My deep understanding of three sciences (Physics, Maths and Chemistry) allows me to explain concepts and methods in a logical and meaningful manner, which makes learning a simple and efficient experience. My extensive experience also allows me to be aware of the key points. Due to my multi-discipline background, I am also able to offer academic tuition to university students, as well as proofreading services and general scientific advice.

Perfect! Michalis is a very good tutor, he is very patient and is willing to explain whatever you need. My understanding has improved greatly since being tutored by him, would recommend highly!
- Katie is a great student. She is capable, always focused and has a very positive attitude. It is a pleasure to work with her!Michalis's response :
Perfect! Michalis is a great tutor - I highly recommend him. He really knows the subject (maths) very well and he explains it very clearly. My understanding of the subject has improved so much by working with him. I am preparing for a fairly unusual professional exam and Michalis has really listened to what I need and made every effort to tailor the lessons to the type of mathematical problems that I will be asked to work with, so we have made very good use of our time! He is great at identifying where I am going wrong and working with me to improve the basic skills that I need, whilst also providing additional methodology and tips that have been very helpful. He is very patient, professional and friendly to work with. Don't hesitate to book a lesson!
- Karen is an excellent student, great attitude and very pleasant to work withMichalis's response :

Dr. Michail Tsagkarakis was able to offer my son last minute intensive tutoring on the run up to his N5 Physics exam.
With focussed attention to the areas my son needed to improve on it made a huge difference. My son moved from a Grade D in his prelim to an A grade in the N5 Physics exam.
My son moved from incomprehension to confidence and Michail’s experience and skill helped him hugely.
We are very grateful & would highly recommend him as a tutor.My daughter has taken Physics classes with Michalis for 2 and a half years and it has been the best choice I could have made. Excellent teacher, good teaching methodology, the class is dynamic and he knows how to make the student understand the topics on which my daughter was stuck. Serious, punctual and nice person. My daughter has achieved good results in the assessments. My daughter was really very happy with the choice.
Sandra & ValentinaI study Civil Engineering at University and I had end of year exams approaching really fast that I was not prepared for at all due to unforeseen personal circumstances. I went to Michalis worried I would be unable to progress to the next year of my degree, however, luckily I found a genius that was able to solve all my problems!
Firstly he helped me with maths. He looked at all of my course material and created a plan that would give me the best chance of passing with only a very small amount of time left. Any questions I had were answered with detail and clarity, and there are most definitely no shortages of knowledge in any areas. There are no questions he can’t answer! Thanks to Michalis working his miracles I passed the class. He also tutored me for one of my Civil Engineering modules. Although this isn’t his specialist area he managed to use his vast knowledge to accommodate me and also allow me to pass this class. He looked at the content and we identified my weakest areas. He read and understood the content himself and he then taught me in a way that allowed me to understand it all in again such a short period of time!
Michalis did all this whenever suited myself. He would do lessons that would fit around my busy and changing work schedule. He even accommodated me when I was on holiday and it was a must I had a lesson, he did a skype call and taught me virtually and this was also very effective! If within a reasonable distance he may travel to you however going to Michalis’s home is a pleasure. He is great company and always very welcoming.
If you have physics/maths worries I would 100% advise you see Michalis, he is worth every penny!
Thanks,
Taylor
Michalis tutored my son for Higher Maths in 2022-2023. I'm delighted to say that, in the course of that time, my son went from getting low marks (30-odd %) at several tests and his prelim, to an A at his final exam.
I particularly appreciated the care Michalis took in assessing my son's strengths and weaknesses at the start of their tutoring relationship. They then worked systematically through the whole curriculum and did a lot of targeted practice. He explained things very clearly and allowed my son to understand *why* he was doing things. He also focused on the need for attention to detail when answering maths problems - I'm certain this will have helped my son pick up extra points in his exam.
Michalis was reliable and good to deal with, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.View more recommendations
