About Ian
As a medical student who recently came from high school, I understand what it takes to hit your academic goals while fitting them around your other pursuits. I'm a dedicated long-distance runner, pushing myself in everything from the 800m to the marathon. I bring that same energy and commitment to helping students achieve their best.

With the new school year starting to take shape, is your teenager preparing for their National 5 or Higher science exams?
Whether they need top grades for university or just some extra clarity to get through the year without the stress, I’m here to help.
My name is Ian and I’m a 3rd year medical student at the University of Glasgow. Having navigated the system recently, I don’t just teach the topics - I share the exact study frameworks, revision timetables, and active recall techniques that helped me succeed:
My Tutoring Approach & Experience
Over the last two academic years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting 7 high school students, logging over 115 hours of 1-to-1 teaching.
Since every student processes topics differently, I ensure our sessions are highly personalised, taking the time to target pain points. To build long-term understanding over the year, I:
- Interleave topics to improve recall throughout the year
- Synchronise with student’s school learning to account for school tests
- Provide constructive feedback on homework so they know exactly where marks are awarded
- Focus heavily on exam prep and managing time stress as exams draw near
A typical lesson will include a starter or homework review, followed by targeted question practice on key topics to master concepts and build confidence.
Testimonial
“We would highly recommend Ian. Throughout the year our son has been tutored, it’s never been a chore for him to go on call. Ian understood his needs, gave him work to go away with, marked it and gave feedback. Taking the time with him explaining one on one really helped in our son’s understanding of the course. Helping with extra tuition nearer exam time was a great help.”
- Debbie Connell, Parent of a Nat 5 Chemistry and Higher Human Biology Student
Credibility You Can Trust
As a high-performing medical student and high achiever in school exams, I teach students study frameworks and exam techniques I use myself to succeed.

I'm Ian's brother, and personally from experience I can say that he is a very clear, helpful and encouraging tutor, with extensive knowledge of the course he is delivering. He provides effective and efficient ways of teaching which have impacted me hugely while I was studying National 5 Physics and was part of the reason for me going from a failing student to an A grade student. He is also keen and very well-versed in the coursework of National 5 Maths, Chemistry and Biology, so has a decent range of skills he could teach in. Would highly recommend!
