I am a fully qualified teacher who taught geography at schools in the south west for 11 years. I have spent the last 8 years tutoring a large number of students at GCSE and A Level successfully. I am able to provide additional support to school lessons as well as teach full course content for students needing to review whole topics or courses. I also teach home schooled students at KS3 and GCSE, tailoring lessons to individual needs but also preparing them for exams and further study.

I am friendly and patient and quickly get to know my students and their preferred learning style. I have experience of working with a broad spectrum of students and pride myself on being able to get the best from all students I work with; whether this is pushing for a certain grade, help with understanding core concepts or building curiosity in geography. I really enjoy working with young people and helping them to achieve their best.

I have extensive knowledge and understanding of many specifications at both GCSE and A Level (including AQA, Edexcel and OCR). My geographical knowledge, teaching style and familiarity with exam questions and answer structure allows my students to achieve highly. Some of my students have increased their exam grade by 3 grades after studying with me. I am also an exam marker at GCSE which helps me be a great geography teacher. As well as exam knowledge and course content I am also a very creative and passionate geographer and plan engaging lessons tailored to the student's needs.

I believe that confidence is key to success and I work with all my students to build their confidence in the subject. I do this through well planned lessons, plenty of exam practice and clear communication about where the student is currently and what we will work on to allow them to achieve their potential.
