About Us

Our Story

Caledonia Tutors was founded in January 2018. In our 6+ years as a company we have grown from 1 tutor and 3 subjects to 130+ tutors and 29 subjects. We currently offer in-person tutoring to students living in Edinburgh and Glasgow and online to students living across Scotland, U.K. and Europe.

Having experienced first-hand the power of having a role-model, we are determined to make this a reality for our students. Belonging to the same generation allows a great rapport to be built between our tutors and their student that is not common in private tuition. Tutors, having recently sat the same or similar exams as their students, are acutely aware of their student’s needs. While our tutors will not have decades of teaching experience, we believe that what they lack in experience they make up for in passion, intelligence and integrity. With Caledonia Tutors students enjoy and look forward to lessons.

Well worth it
Caledonia Tutors offer a first class service and accomodate their students. Logan Crawford was absolutely amazing with my son, in the short period he worked with him, not only did his results improve but his confidence in the subject rocketed. Logan offered a supportive environment and was always very responsive and polite. Would highly recommend Caledonia Tutors.

Excellent tutors
We had 3 tutors from Caledonia Tutors, one for Physics at Nat 5 level and then tutors in Maths and Chemistry at Higher level. All were excellent and my daughter achieved an 'A' in each of these subjects. Definitely worth it.

Excellent tutor
Highly recommended. Aiden matched my son with Thomas Morris for Nat 5 Physics in January after the prelims. He had struggled to follow his teacher and after a disastrous 27% in the prelim we thought it was too late for him to recover.

He had a 90min lesson with Thomas once a week until the final exam and not only did he pass but he got an A!

Thomas was an excellent tutor and we will be using him again for Higher.

High Performance Tutors Across All Subjects
I am very impressed indeed with Caledonia Tutors!

Aidan's management of my enquiry was super professional and efficient, getting to know my daughter's tutoring requirements and setting up weekly sessions promptly. All of the team are extremely well organised, have a friendly approach and are high performance tutors, tailoring the sessions to my daughter's needs.

In particular Maria for Maths, Catriona for Chemistry/Biology and Skye for English - I can't thank them enough for their excellent focus, attention and encouragement. It's thanks to them that my daughter sat all of her Nat 5 exams with confidence and achieved A grades in all subjects!

Ben is an outstanding tutor
Ben tutored my son in advanced higher physics. He was reliable and efficient at covering the topics, he went into great detail and provided additional material to give my son a deeper understanding of the subject. I'm pleased to say that my son achieved the result that he needed to get into his first choice of Uni, for which we are very grateful.

Meg tutored my daughter for Higher English for six months on and off. An easy relationship was established and Meg gradually challenged her to first stabilise and then improve, resulting in a band 1 A grade. This arose after her school teacher vanished, effectively never replaced. I have no doubt Meg's tutoring utterly salvaged this particular Higher and gave my daughter insight into the undergraduate experience of studying English literature.

My son had been struggling with Maths and was at risk of failing his Nat 5. We decided to find him a tutor, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Ubaida not only helped him understand the subject better, but also gave him the confidence and skills he needed to succeed. Thanks to Ubaida’s support, he passed his Nat 5 — something that once felt out of reach. We cannot recommend Ubaida highly enough. Thank you so much!
