Our son Murdo came late to study of SCE Higher in Economics. To be able to matriculate for a Scottish university at the end of 5th year at High School he needed 5 Grade A passes at SCE Higher. He embarked on a self learning programme for a “Crash Higher “ using downloads. This has limits. Shortly before the final examination we decided that a small (three) number of one to-one tutorials would allow to discuss what he had learnt. We were pleased that Val was willing to take Murdo on at short notice. She enhanced his learning experience and we felt there was a new enthusiasm and maturity in his thinking. Val had an approach and strategy required to give Murdo his best chance of a good outcome. Highly recommended!
All the best

My bio
Enthusiastic Humanities, History and French tutor
I really enjoy teaching which is for me one of the best ways to transmit knowledge and support students in their path to building knowledge. I started as a French teacher in a local primary school and when I studied for my Ph.D. in Environmental Humanities, Archaeology and Geo-archaeology, I had the opportunity to become a teaching assistant and then a lecturer. I love teaching history which is my main academic background with specific expertise in medieval and environmental history, archaeology and geoarchaeology. As a historian, I help students to develop critical thinking, analyzing and understanding primary and secondary sources and also develop and master their communication skills (oral and written) which are essential not only for the study of history but also the day-to-day life. As an archaeologist /geo-archaeologist I have gained considerable skills in both the private sector and academia as a lecturer, and published author. Teaching is extremely rewarding when I can see students developing their knowledge and succeeding in their studies no matter the subject.

Availability: I am available in person on Mondays and Tuesdays. For online lessons any day from 5.30pm.
I usually discuss lessons days and time directly with each student and can be flexie

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have been a French teacher for P6 and P7 in a local school. During this time I organised pen pal exchanges and after school French club. From 2007 to 2012 at the University of Stirling, I was a teaching assistant for the History department, moving to lecturer for the School of Biological and Environmental Sciences. I was also a mentor for 4th year undergrads. As a geo-archaeologist I was a field instructor to both undergraduates and postgraduates on multi-period sites.
Since 2017,I am a private tutor both online and in person with students from the UK and North America. The ages range from 13years to postgraduates.
The students reviews I have are excellent being described as a top rate teacher.
As for the first lesson, it is not free but I always offer a discount of 50%
