About Stuart
I am a qualified teacher and graduate of the University of Edinburgh with an BA in English Literature and a PGDE in Secondary Education English teaching, as well as being a qualified TEFL teacher. In my spare time I enjoy playing rugby, mountaineering and work as an editor for the online reviewing magazine Broadway Baby.
I possess a sound knowledge of the Scottish education system including Higher Education, the former SQA syllabus (Standard Grade), and the current format (Curriculum for Excellence). I am reliable, adaptable and strive to achieve the best I can for my students. PVG certified and experienced in working with children, I can offer a variety of differentiated learning methods to suit individual needs.
My experience as a teacher consists of:
- Private tutoring in Poland including preparation for Cambridge exams for adults and children with successful results. I also taught in two high schools and two primary schools as an EFL teacher during this time.
- Secondary teaching within The City of Edinburgh Council and East Lothian Council, teaching broad general education and national grades including National 4, 5 and Higher.
- 2 years of TEFL teaching at Heriott Watt University with Oxford International in preparation for IELTS exams
- 3 years of private tutoring for preparation of NAT 5 and Higher exams, with a universal pass rate and strong percentage of A grades.

I build upon my student's prior knowledge of English and their set texts, and invite them to offer their own perspectives through critical analysis. After assessing what level they are at, I devise a specific strategy tailored to their needs and expectations. I focus upon improving:
- The construction of essays
- Grammar and vocabulary
- Reading for understanding and analysis
- Creative writing
- Technical writing
- Listening skills and talking skills, including solo and group presentations
- Timed essay writing, short creative writing pieces and mock exams
- Confidence in a pupil's own work
