About Garrie
Hello! I'm Garrie, a full-time tutor of Maths, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry and Computing at University and Secondary School level, offering tuition both online and in-person in the Greater Glasgow area.
Having tutored for over 15 years, I've helped 500+ students achieve the grades and exam results they were hoping for. I have a background in academic teaching and research, having held posts as Research Assistant/Teacher at the University of Glasgow's School of Engineering.
I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2011 with a first class B.Eng. (Hons) in Aeronautical Engineering, finishing at the top of my class. I also previously conducted postgraduate research and teaching duties at the University of Strathclyde.
I am deeply passionate about my subject and the fields which underpin it. I enjoy sharing that passion with others, and helping them to comprehend these subjects in a way that is hopefully inspiring and interesting to them.

Each student has individual needs and learning styles, and I aim to tailor my approach to match the student, and give them some control over how they want to be taught.
Students will have a say in what they learn from me, and how we approach it, helping me to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and structure a learning programme that complements them.
I intend for my students to gain a solid foundation and interest in their subject, and develop their own revision skills to improve their capacity for independent learning - it isn't just about passing the exam, but about nurturing an interest the subject and developing skills for the future.
I believe that the best way to learn is to enjoy yourself while doing it, so I aim to keep the sessions engaging for the student.

My daughter was struggling a lot with maths (teacher issue) in 4th year and got a C in her Nat 5s. We booked a 10 session block with Garrie and he was excellent. Always on time for sessions, professional and very structured in his approach. I have no doubt that techniques Garrie taught my daughter would have carried over into other subjects. Today she received AAAAB in her highers. A in maths in a year when there was outrage about the difficulty of the exam! Garrie doesn’t spoon feed how to pass exams, he teaches technique and problem solving.
I can’t recommend Garrie highly enough.
Thank you very much Garrie.My son had Garrie as a tutor for his engineering degree. He has a brilliant understanding of Engineering and gives outstanding tuition. He established rapport quickly, generates a really good understanding of a topic and how to answer questions on it. His preparation is thorough for each session which means fantastic progress is made in the time. Our delighted son graduated with a 2:1. Thank you Garrie
He tutored me throughout my high school math, helped me amazingly, allowed me to understand the content more clearly, and we worked on it until I understood everything. He always answered any questions I had. Very helpful!
I am very pleased to recommend Garrie, who provided outstanding mathematics tutoring for my niece in preparation for her exams.
From the very beginning Garrie demonstrated not only strong subject knowledge, but also a genuine ability to connect with students and explain complex concepts in a clear and approachable way. My niece had previously struggled with confidence in maths, but through patient guidance, structured lessons, and consistent encouragement, she developed both her skills and her self-belief and she passed with flying colours and is now going for her highers.
I would highly recommend Garrie to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and inspiring tutor.I would thoroughly recommend Garrie as a tutor.
He’s really helped my son with his revision and taken the stress out of it!
Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.
Thank you!As Garrie's wife, I’ve known him for many years and we studied at university together. This is where I saw him start to develop his passion for teaching - in between his own studying, he would spend time helping his fellow students when they were stuck, including me.
When Garrie teaches, he is able to quickly understand where you are struggling and then explain the problem in different ways until it clicks. He is patient, calm, and never makes you feel silly for asking questions.
As well as being an expert in his field and great at explaining things, he has a calm and kind nature, is trustworthy, dependable and genuinely wants his students to succeed.
I would highly recommend Garrie to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated tutor.View more recommendations
