With over 25 years of experience in the classroom and as a private tutor, I bring a wealth of geographical knowledge and a proven track record of student success. As a former Head of Geography, I understand how to break down complex global systems—from tectonic hazards to urban regeneration—into digestible, engaging concepts. My teaching style is inherently friendly and approachable, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, building confidence, and finding their academic voice.

What truly sets my tutoring apart is my deep insider knowledge of assessment. I have spent over 20 years working as an A-Level examiner and Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) moderator. This background means I don’t just teach the curriculum; I know exactly how exam boards think and what examiners look for when grading scripts and coursework.

I specialise heavily in exam technique and performance. Many students understand the core material but struggle to structure high-scoring essays or apply their knowledge under timed conditions. Together, we will master command words, fine-tune your data analysis skills, and sharpen your case study applications so you can maximize every single mark. For students tackling the NEA, my years of moderation experience provide invaluable, structured guidance on how to formulate sharp hypotheses, execute robust methodologies, and write standout independent investigations.

Whether you are aiming to push your grade from a B to an A*, trying to secure your target grade for university admission, or looking to demystify the fieldwork process, my targeted, examiner-led approach will help you reach your full potential. Let’s work together to turn your geography goals into reality!
