Meet the tutor

Finlay Kennedy

17 · National 5 and Higher Maths & Physics tutor · Scotland

I have 2+ years of tutoring experience and achieved A grades across Higher Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. I'm currently studying Advanced Higher Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics of Mechanics. That recent experience of Scottish courses shapes sessions built around clear explanation, worked examples, guided practice and independent attempts. I'm also building Orthic, a structured Scottish STEM learning platform with original practice questions.

Why a recent student?

I'm 17 and have 2+ years of tutoring experience. That combines recent first-hand knowledge of Scottish courses and exam pressure with an established, structured approach to preparation and teaching.
