About Emily Justice
It was my eldest child’s experience of secondary school that made me acutely aware of the challenges facing so many young people in education today - not least when neurodivergence and mental health issues are in the mix.
When my child had difficulties at school and could no longer attend full-time, we turned to tutors in the hope that they could help her stay on track with her learning. This one-to-one support proved invaluable, allowing my child to attain qualifications and secure a place at college. I saw firsthand what a difference a good tutor can make to a young person’s educational achievement and overall wellbeing.
It is this that inspired me to set up Tuition Services Scotland, offering tuition in my own areas of expertise.

“I have worked with Emily for over 10 years. We have specialised in young people’s education and mental wellbeing. I have always found Emily professional and she goes the extra mile when children need her support. Emily is a very caring and thoughtful person and a great communicator.
