Hello!

I’m Hamish, a 24-year-old first class philosophy graduate from the University of Glasgow.

I have over 2 years’ experience tutoring online with MyTutor. I have a strong track record teaching English Language and Literature, History, Politics/Modern studies and Philosophy. I am experienced with the History and English GCSE and A-level curriculums (particularly the AQA exam board). I’m also familiar with Nat 5, Higher and Advanced Higher as I went through Scottish schools myself. I also have a long-standing history of teaching neurodivergent students (ADHD and autism).

In my spare time I like to read, travel and play sports (especially lacrosse and football!)

I like to measure progress by repeating similar tasks over time to take stock. And to encourage learning, I like to reward goo...

I like to measure progress by repeating similar tasks over time to take stock. And to encourage learning, I like to reward good effort by giving students more choice over future tasks.
