Our weekly one-to-many tuitions are tutor-led and can be taken either in person or virtually at our Edinburgh centre. These lessons are designed for students studying SQA Highers Admin & IT. Each 40-minute class offers a deeper and more effective learning experience than traditional school lessons, helping students to fill any knowledge gaps they may have due to school absences.

We also offer one-to-one tuitions lessons, either face-to-face or virtually, at our Edinburgh centre. These 40-minute sessions are also aimed at students studying SQA Highers Admin and IT and provide the student with the tutor’s full attention. This approach can be more effective than group lessons, as it allows the tutor to consistently address the student’s strengths and weaknesses without the distraction of other students. The personalised teaching approach enables students to learn at their own pace, without feeling pressured by the progress of others.
