Dr Irene Nicol

I am a qualified teacher and Faculty Head in Sciences/Depute Headteacher. I am fully GTCS registered in chemistry, physics and general sciences, with over 20 years experience in modern Scottish secondary teaching, and as an exam marker. Notes, presentation and practice exercises will all be made available via the Google Classroom. These have been developed to complement the lessons. Most schools in Scotland use Google Classroom already and as a result pupils are familiar with how it works and find it easy to use.

Lessons are tailored to individual pupil needs and so the content will depend on what your child most needs! Face to face lessons are preferred as they give more scope for dialogue and allow both student and teacher to engage with the material better. However, I understand that is not always possible, and i am happy to take lessons over Google meet if required.
