Professional service
Thank you once again Paul for your professional service. Liam really enjoyed having you as a Nat 5 tutor and while maths will never be his best subject, it is now one of his favourites….

Patient and supportive
My daughter failed her mock IGCSE due to needing to learn more about probability and statistics. Within a month, Paul rebuilt her confidence by explaining all the hard stuff in simple ways… He was very patient and supportive throughout.

Just brilliant!
Our twins really struggled with their IB until Dr McDonald started tutoring… He showed them how to use a graphics calculator and boosted their confidence. Just brilliant! … He also provided lots of good exam-style questions which helped them pass.

Excellent tutor
Dr McDonald is an excellent tutor. He helped improve my son’s grade from 41% in his Higher prelim to an A in the final exam… I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Mr Yildiz, Sheffield, September 2022
Thrilled
My son was thrilled with all the help and support Paul gave him with his IGCSE maths exam… So much that Kerem jumped from a bare pass to a 7!
Mr and Mrs Bonett, Kingsbarns, July 2023
Very happy
Our daughter Teighan first started lessons with Dr McDonald after her mock exams, which had left her feeling like she had no confidence in her math abilities. Since then, Teighan has now achieved a grade in her IB that she is so pleased with – something she didn’t think would be possible! She was very happy with the lessons as they were always very organised and well planned out, and her improvement in the subject over the months she has been taking lessons definitely shows this. Dr McDonald always ensured to reinforce her existing strengths as well as taking extra care to build on the weaker areas which helped her to feel more confident in the subject overall. Based on Teighan’s experience, we would definitely recommend Dr McDonald.

Wunderbar!
I cannot thank you enough for preparing Lucas to pass his IB maths. Even though it was only for a short while, you made him feel special and highly motivated to succeed… Wunderbar!
Mrs Wilson, Inverness, August 2023
Expert tuition
Our granddaughter Olivia agonised for months with Higher Maths in S6 but couldn’t drop it as she needed it for her uni course… With the help of Dr McDonald, she completely refocused and learned better ways to lay out her answers and made connections with more of the exam words. After a while, she started doing better in the practice papers… The family is delighted that Olivia achieved a well deserved B, thanks to the expert tuition provided.
Mr MacLeod, Edinburgh, September 2023
Great help
Many thanks again Paul for tutoring Rhuaridh – he really enjoyed the group. You have been a great help to him with his Higher, which he passed with an A! … I will be in touch again if he needs any help with the Advanced Higher.

Big thank you
A big thank you Paul for preparing Charlotte for her resit… Your advice and continued support since the summer have restored her confidence in HL and she is even looking forward to the exam (including vectors!).
Mr Hong, Surrey, November 2023
Extremely grateful
… Your tutoring transformed Chang! She understands so much more about IB maths and cannot wait for her result. Whatever happens, we are extremely grateful for your patience, effort and reigniting her curiosity… Chang is already missing your Scottish accent!
Mr Rajput, West Sussex, February 2024
I can't recommend Dr McDonald highly enough!
A family friend suggested we look online for a tutor as our grandson began falling behind and wanted to give up. I am glad we did. I can’t recommend Dr McDonald highly enough! He was patient and understanding, and took the time to explain things in a way that made sense to him… Kumar is now enjoying his IGCSE maths again!
Bernadette, Dunfermline, December 2024
Thanks very much
Thanks very much Paul for helping my son out with the stuff he missed on higher applications. He is a lot more confident…
