Personalised one-to-one tuition
Science teacher  |  Maria McGlashan Bsc (Hons)  PGCE  QTS 

I believe children learn best when they are happy and relaxed. I provide the space, support and expertise for your child to flourish in science and maths. With a strong emphasis on the individual's needs and abilities, I am able to build confidence and self belief as their knowledge and understanding increases. I support children to manage their anxieties using breathing and mindfulness techniques, adapted from my time as a class room teacher.

​Initially I offer students and their parents a free 15 minute consultation to discuss their needs. This gives the student and myself a chance to see if we would work well together before making any commitment.

Testimonials from past student

Mrs McGlashan was a great teacher. She explained things in a great way that really helped me understand and remember facts. I used to hate Physics and Chemistry but I found her lessons really interesting. Thanks so much for helping me pass my exams.  Year 11 student 2018

Why seek science tuition?

Students and their parents seek out tuition for a variety of reasons. Students may:

• find science difficult and benefit hugely from a highly personalised approach increasing in confidence and ability quickly 

• have missed school due to ill health and need support to get back on track 

• be overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of the new science specifications and could benefit from revisiting the fundamental principles before progressing to the more complex topics

• be straight A (7-9) students who just need some short term focused support with the more demanding topics 

• be unable to access mainstream education due to long-term illness

---

When these students finally seek and accept support, they all speak of an immense weight being lifted off their shoulders.  Of other subjects benefiting because they have grown in confidence as a learner.  They discover they actually enjoy science and are good at it.  And without exception they all wish they had come to science tuition earlier. Students frequently reconsider their A Level choices after science tuition, opening up new career pathways and opportunities.
