About Rhona
I have a PhD in chemistry from the University of Edinburgh. I have been a science tutor in Edinburgh for 12 years, teaching over 450 children in this time. I thoroughly enjoy working with the students, helping them to achieve their potential. As a mum myself I appreciate the stress children and parents are under in exam year.
With my help and guidance students have exceeded their expectations in their exams.
Below are some testimonials from past students and their parents.
