Saturday School Ltd

About Me: During my working life I have spent time in industry and education.
After high school I worked and qualified as a Mechanical Services Engineer before moving on to study a full time BSc Honours degree in Physics. On graduating I them completed the PGDE in Secondary Education - Physics and Science. I spent eleven years in front-line education, delivering the many Physics and Science courses available in Scottish schools. I was promoted to Principal Teacher of Science and then to Faculty Leader of Science in my time at Wallace High in Stirling. During this time I led the faculty to the highest levels of attainment on record and most notably a 100% pass rate in Higher Physics in 2018. In March 2019 I moved on to Project Manage the Young STEM Leader Programme. This is a government funded initiative where young people are mobilised to act as positive role models in STEM. The project is led by the Scottish Schools Education Research Centre in partnership with Scotlands Science Centres, STEM Ambassador Hubs several youth and community groups.
In 2013 I launched Saturday School Ltd (SSL), offering group tuition, revision and SQA qualifications in Glasgow for young people taking National 5 or Higher SQA courses. Along with Victoria Rose (Co Director), we have grown SSL to be the premier tutoring school in Scotland. Due to public demand we have also worked through the process of becoming a SQA Approved Centre and this status was achieved in 2017. As a result we now offer SQA National Qualifications to adults on a part-time learning programme.
