Higher Computing Science Tutoring Program:
Weekly Group Sessions:
 Our tutor-led, one-to-many sessions are designed specifically for students studying SQA Higher Computing Science. These 40-minute lessons are available both in-person at our Edinburgh centre and virtually, offering a flexible learning experience. Our classes aim to provide a more focused and in-depth learning environment compared to traditional school lessons, helping students bridge any knowledge gaps they may have due to school absences or other challenges.
One-to-One Tuition:
 For students seeking a more personalised approach, we offer one-to-one tuition, either in-person or online from our Edinburgh centre. These 40-minute sessions are targeted at students studying Higher Computing Science and allow for individual attention, enabling the tutor to tailor lessons specifically to the student's needs. This format allows for in-depth support, with the tutor able to focus entirely on the student’s strengths and areas for improvement, without the distraction of a group setting. The personalised nature of the tuition allows students to progress at their own pace, building both knowledge and confidence.

M33***17

Booking tickets through Ctrip was quick and convenient, and I spent 3 hours there. Unfortunately, we encountered strong winds. This time, I mainly focused on the scenery and didn&#39;t pay much attention to the history. I&#39;d like to go again in the future to learn more about the relevant history.

Edinburgh Old Town

苏河家园

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

_TI***3h

Located precisely at the end of the Royal Mile the Holyrood Place has beeb a Royal residence since the 16th century, and the original Abbey was founded in 1128 (which is still on site). It is absolutely a must-see during your time in Edinburgh, being a perfect example of a working palace. But do not compare it to the Buckingham Palace in London, since those two are completely different in all aspects but one, which is it being a monarch residence. Some rooms are filled up to the brim with historic events, and are featured in the famous paintings. One of which is the bedchambers of Mary Queen of Scots where her dear friend was killed right in front of her (there is also a spot which is claimed to be bloodstained with his blood where his body was left). Overall immersive experience guaranteed and I highly recommend visiting this palace. Don&#39;t forget to visit the Holyrood Abbey as well, as it is one of the oldest places in all Edinburgh and is very authentic in its ruins.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

D Day for Travel

Very nice experience. You will get a free whisky glass after the wine tasting session. We acquired a lot of whisky knowledge and overall it is very interesting.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
