Information about Finlay
**In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, I would like to offer tuition via Zoom. Although schools may close soon, the SQA is at this stage still planning to hold examinations this year**
My name is Finlay and I am a 28 year old, friendly and enthusiastic science tutor from Newton Mearns, near Glasgow. I tutor Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics up to Advanced Higher level. I have BSc (Hons) in Chemical Physics, MSc in Nanoscience, a PhD in Chemical Physics and current works. I have over 550 hours of one-to-one tuition experience and have spent a lot of time supervising students in laboratories over the years.
I am passionate about helping young minds achieve their potential, and aid in setting them up for future study and careers. I take part in Glasgow Science Festival, am a STEM Ambassador and love inspiring the next generation of scientists.
I work in academia, so I can provide advice and guidance about the nature of scientific research and its applicability as a career option. I can also provide critical advice on applications to university and writing personal statements.

Experience: I have just completed a PhD in Chemical Physics at the University of Glasgow, have a BSc Hons degree, an MSc and have been working as a researcher for the past year. During my degrees I studied a broad range of subjects in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Electrical and Biomedical Engineering.
I have tutored many primary, secondary and undergraduate university students in the past, but focus on those who are working towards their National Fives and Highers to get them into University.

Finlay is an excellent tutor. He is personable, calm, friendly, reliable and extremely polite.My sons gets on with Finlay very well, possibly because he is young but also because he is so encouraging.
