Since 2004, I have had the privilege of providing a private home tuition service in mathematics. With educational tools continually being developed, as part of my expanding business, I now offer virtual learning by providing online tuition.
I look forward to continually working with our inspiring enthusiastic hard working pupils of all ages and abilities, as well as our mature students and professional workers from all geographical areas who need support with mathematics.

Steve is a great maths tutor. He obviously knows his field and has patience and a good sense of humour which really helps with teenagers! Highly recommend.

Steve has been my tutor helping me to achieve Nat 5 Maths. I have found him to be clear with his explanations and patient with my uptake. I was struggling at school and couldn't understand many aspects of the maths course, however Steve introduced me to new ways of learning and really improved my overall understanding and motivation.

Steve has been working with my daughter (newly S4) for just over a year now and has helped her improve in maths to the point that she is now averaging over 85% in every school assessment where previously her average was 54%. Steve knows what is expected in schools and SQA exams and explains all the concepts she is learning and makes sure she really understands and then challenges her further. I would and have recommended Steve to friends and family with no hesitation at all. Steve has built a great relationship with our whole family. As a primary school teacher myself I am very impressed with Steve's tutoring skills and knowledge. My daughter did not enjoy maths at all throughout primary and early secondary - thanks to her new found confidence she now tells us this is her favourite subject!!

My son Sam has just completed 5th year and in all subjects, except Maths, he is an A-grade student. His challenges with Maths are attributable in part to long periods of absence/sick leave by his Maths teacher and the alternative arrangements put in place by his school were wholly unsatisfactory. Over the last 2 years Sam gradually fell behind, became increasingly frustrated and worried and it became obvious to me that this was affecting his self-esteem. I contacted my friends via FaceBook for a Maths Tutor recommendation and this is how I found Steve Garland. He arrived promptly for the first session with an impressive selection of teaching resources and learning support aids and he spent time talking with my son to assess his current competence level before proceeding. He made an instant connection which is not always easy with teenagers and this set the foundation for successful learner engagement. In a few short weeks, there was more progress than the previous 2 years of Maths schooling. The one-to-one approach clearly allowed Steve to identify key areas of misunderstanding and target these specifically. This is what had been lacking at school. In the end my son had stopped asking for any clarification and this further compounded the problem. Steve is not only knowledgeable and experienced, he has the ability to relate to and connect with his students in a way which is productive and meaningful.
