I was looking for a Higher SQA History Tutor for my granddaughter and fortunately found Gemma on Firsttutors. Gemma is very personable and has an incredible ability to connect and nurture her tutees. She was responsive to emails and very focussed with a great depth of knowledge in her subject. On several occassions going the extra distance to make sure my grandaughter felt reassured and confident in what was expected of her in preparation for her exam. My granddaughter looked forward to and always came away feeling positive from her weekly sessions with Gemma. You won’t be disappointed if you choose Gemma as your childs tutor one word describes her Amazing!
From Natalie
Gemma is an excellent tutor who has really helped my daughter with her Higher history. She has a great way of finding how the young person learns are works with them to make sure they understand the course content. She also went over and above outside of hours marking past papers at any time we sent them over. Highly recommend
Thank you so much
From Suzanne
Can't rate Gemma highly enough as a tutor - she's the kind of teacher you wish you had at school. Gemma was engaging, enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable on the subject matter, taking time ahead of the lesson to prepare slides for the lesson and then she also marked essays midweek after the lesson and provided feedback on those. She was excellent at providing tips on how best to answer exam questions and it was really useful to have her knowledge of SQA marking to help understand where to get marks. Definitely go for Gemma as a tutor as she was just what my son needed to boost his grades and his confidence!
Thank you so much Suzanne!
From Julie
Gemma was an ‘amazing’ tutor!! She always came extremely well prepared and would consolidate/expand any queries my daughter had in relation to her Higher History topics. Considering that my daughter did Higher History as a crash and achieved an A Grade is testimony to Gemma’s fabulous teaching styles. Would ‘highly’ recommend- first class tutor!!
Thanks Julie

Fantastic History tutor.
From Shaheen
We have had Gemma for just one session and my daughter found her tuition very beneficial. Gemma was very well prepared and wasted no time in getting to know in which area of History my daughter was having difficulty and worked very well with her, leaving my daughter more confident. My daughter is looking forward to Gemma's tuition next week.
Thanks Shaheen

Gemma is a friendly and enthusiastic tutor.In addition to great tutoring she has provided lots of practical information and guidance. Gemma has a genuine understanding of the new SQA qualifications and how marks are awarded in the assignments & exams.She tutors my son in History & Modern Studies and I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a tutor for these subjects.
From Roisin
An excellent tutor who highly motivated and supported my son in achieving great results in both history and modern studies and in a short space of time. Thank you.
From Irene
I would highly recommend Gemma as a tutor - she is a real gem!
She is a little dynamo who helped my son to secure A passes in both his Higher History and Modern Studies exams - against the odds. She arrived on time bringing masses of extra course material, explained the subjects clearly, set and marked endless amounts of homework, and was EXTREMELY patient with him, All this she did with a smile.
If you choose Gemma for a tutor you will be very lucky indeed. Thanks Gemma.
Thanks Irene! It was a real pleasure to help. :-):-):-):-)
