About

Expert Earth Science & Geography Tuition

Are you looking to bridge the gap between complex theory and top-tier exam results? I am a passionate Earth Scientist and current Head of Department at a leading academic school in the Home Counties, where I consistently lead students to excellent grades at GCSE and A-Level.

With a Research Master (UCL) and a PhD currently underway at MMU, my academic background is matched by 17 years as a teacher (MEd/QTS), tutor and examiner for two major UK exam boards. I offer an insider’s perspective on the Geography NEA, GCSE Paper 3, and Geology Lab Practicals.

My expertise is rooted in the field; I have led expeditions to Iceland, Etna and the Canaries, alongside extensive fieldwork across the UK, from the Jurassic coast to the Lakes.

My Tutoring Style:

  • Targeted & Adaptive: I tailor every session to the individual, with significant experience supporting SEND learners.

  • Exam-Focused: We won’t just learn the "what"—we master the "how" of exam technique.

  • Friendly & Grounded: A supportive environment designed to build confidence and academic resilience.
