About Jay
I have been tutoring since 2008 and have taught nearly a 400 students in that time. To date, ALL of my certificate students have subsequently achieved a minimum of grade B in their national exam for that subject and more than 89% have achieved the top grade. I pride myself on this consistent achievement.

I have a PhD in Genetics and following an academic research career, I have more recently been self-employed as a private tutor, coaching local (Aberdeen, Scotland) primary and secondary students in person on a 1 to 1 or small group (2-3 students) basis. I also tutor students online who prefer this mode of coaching or are not in the immediate vicinity. I offer focused tuition in all the science subjects (Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Biology). I am familiar with Qualifications Scotland - National 5/Higher/Advanced Higher courses.
I work with pre-certificate year students in a step-wise basis building solid foundations in learning understanding of key concepts. Certificate students working toward national exams in that academic year have more intense, fast-paced exam performance practice - this is carried out by building on previously assimilated knowledge and focusing on core areas and key questions through working on exam technique and methods to maximise marks obtained. I am a reasonably hands-on tutor that motivates and micro-manages progress - essential for exceptional results! I also actively encourage students to get in touch between formal sessions to clear-up any questions they may have on subject material/homework/assignments. I usually have worksheets assigned after each session to consolidate learning.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Jay.
Perfect! We had a great experience with Jay after contacting her to tutor my Daughter in Nat 5 biology. Lessons were structured, clear and massively increased understanding taking her from a D in prelims to a A in final exam.
Perfect! Made contact with Jay regarding my daughters Biology assignment at short notice. Jay was fantastic throughout giving quality feedback on the assignment that my daughter put to good use prior to the assignment submission. Thoroughly recommend Jay, excellent tutor.

Jay has tutored both my sons now. Following a positive experience with my eldest we asked Jay to work with Bruce on higher Physics and Maths. Bruce has gained so much confidence in both subjects. Jay is super organised and follows the course through, then offers additional sessions and exam preparation over the Easter break. She is professional and meticulous in her approach to tutoring. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
My daughter has been studying physics with Jay, and we are extremely happy with the support and guidance she has received.
She explains difficult physics concepts in a very clear and patient way, making lessons much easier to understand. My daughter has become more confident and her understanding of the subject has improved greatly.
What we appreciate most is the encouraging and supportive teaching style.
I would highly recommend Jay to any student looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and caring physics tutor.I highly recommend Jay as a Physics teacher. She has been excellent for my son, who was struggling to grasp the concepts. She is knowledgeable, patient, and explains difficult concepts clearly.
Since starting the sessions, my son has improved significantly. If you need that extra support, she is definitely the one who can help.Failed my prelim, I thought it was all over as I require physics for my uni degree. I was very fortunate and blessed to meet Jay and work with her in order to get myself to secure the grade that I am satisfied with.
Jay has been a wonderful Chemistry tutor for our son throughout his Nat 5 course. Jay really built his confidence and revisited areas that he had not fully grasped in school. Our son enjoyed the weekly sessions and repeatedly commented on how helpful he found them. We were extremely pleased with his exam result and would highly recommend Jay as a tutor.
Jay was absolutely wonderful in every way. My daughter has got in to university to study Mollecular biology. Thank you so much.
I cannot recommend Jay highly enough. She is quick to respond to messages and was so organised with her tutoring schedule. She took my son on at relatively short notice and has been a massive help in preparing him for his advanced higher chemistry exam. She was willing to help him out with sessions too my looking at past paper questions he had done and producing a marked response. Thank you so much Jay
I got introduced to Dr. Jay with very high recommendation. Parent-Tutor relationship, giving feedback on student performance is commendable
Student - Tutor relationship is excellent, teaching method and mode of communication is exceptional. My daughter wishes to continue her tutoring even after her exams.
Thank you and see you in the new academic session.I contacted Jay about a month before exams because of unexpected university course conditions. She immediately helped me with two Advanced Highers and significantly improved my understanding of each topic I struggled with. She made topics such as complex numbers, which I really struggled with, one of my best topics. I gained confidence in my abilities and my knowledge greatly improved. In just a month she helped me get the grades I needed to study medicine. Every lesson with Jay is extremely useful. Choosing her as my tutor was one of the best decisions for my future.
Jay is a great teacher who taught with great enthusiasm and delved into the details making sure I had full understanding of the ‘why’ something happened before moving on to the next point.
She is cheerful and enthusiastic and very easy to get along with. I learned a lot with her and I wouldn’t have excelled without her. I had an A in my prelim and am predicted a high A in my Advanced Higher.
Would highly recommend JayJay has helped my daughter completely turn around her understanding on Chemistry and Physics at National 5 level. Jay is professional, personable, thorough and has extremely good communication skills, so my daughter has thrived under here tuition. I wholeheartedly recommend Jay as a tutor.
I cannot recommend Jay high enough as a tutor. Able to cover the syllabus to a very high standard whilst building on the confidence of my child. Very approachable and adaptable to match an individuals learning style. We felt we needed to play catch up after covid- end result was straight A’s!
Jay was recommended to me on a local parents FB group. I got in touch via text and the process was seamless. My son has greatly benefitted from his sessions with Jay in preparation for his Higher Maths.
Hello again Jay - I am grateful to finally get here to say thank you to you. Whatever the outcome on results day, Collin and I both feel that so much progress has been made. It was wonderful for me to see Collin has such a different and steady approach to the physics exams this time as well as a positively afterwards! So again, another well worn but very sincere thank you for making this possible - for your unfailing commitment each week especially during COVID 19, every lesson report, your valuable insight to Collin's needs and ability to build a constructive relationship through which Collin's confidence could grow which as you knew was the key in all of this. I will be leaving feedback to reflect this too and in the meantime all the best of everything to you Jay, you deserve it. I know Collin intends to update you in August - we will be in touch xx
I have had Jay as my teacher in high school, and then in my pre-medical year at university. She has helped me greatly with my studies in Advanced Biology and Chemistry. When I don't understand something, she reviews and patiently goes over that topic again with me. Jay also has tons of resources and questions for me to practice with. Furthermore, she also responds back whenever I need further support and guidance. I would highly recommend her to new students wishing to improve their knowledge and understanding of Biology and Chemistry at senior school and university entry levels. She has been especially helpful in preparing me to pass my university exams.
Onamon, age 19Jay has tutored my daughter, Holly, this past year in Higher Chemistry and Physics. She is very passionate and committed to making sure Holly understands everything clearly. She sets her practice work after every session to consolidate and revise material covered. Holly has found Jay to be very knowledgeable and engaging and has since developed a deeper interest in her studies. We have also seen her performance in assessments improve steadily and equally with feedback from her school teachers regarding progress. All in all, if you are considering a tutor, Jay is a fantastic choice!
Jay has been tutoring our daughter for the past 2 years. We had been really struggling to find a good fit with Maths tutors beforehand. Nicole has since made steady progress with her tutor's guidance and dedicated approach to helping her understand content clearly. She particularly found Jay's approach to show her alternative ways to solve problems which she had previously found confusing at school. We were delighted when Nicole achieved A in her National exam. She found the tailored, 1-1 approach invaluable. Jay has been very professional and proven to be an absolute godsend for us! We have no hesitation in recommending her.
