Tutoring Experience

I am a full time Head of Department teaching Geography at GCSE and A-Level. I teach the AQA syllabus, but can also teach Edexcel and OCR. I have been teaching Geography since 2010.

What my past students and their parents say:

'You are doing a great job with X. His grades have improved to A’s in all his tests following your tutoring. I really appreciate your support.'

'We knew X was struggling with the subject due to inadequate teaching but we never thought she’d come to you with so much baggage. You’ve been absolutely amazing with her, not once did you ever let her down or make her feel worthless, you supported her right from day one, you soon took the hate of Geography away from her.
You dealt with all the shocking discoveries you come across on a weekly basis and provided her all the correct information and applied your extensive knowledge on both Physical and Human.
X has worked so hard trying to understand and retain so much content over the last 8 weeks, and realised that a lot of the information will be useful in her in her next steps and given her skills for life, you’ve taught her much much more than her own teachers did and ever could.'

'Your help with the NEA was outstanding, the appeal letter you wrote got her an extra 5 marks of which we are all so very grateful for, given that said she will always know it was worth more and all the information you supplied was phenomenal.'

'Your sessions have been really engaging and boosted X's confidence so much, I have lost count how many times she has praised you, after every session she would come to us and explain what she had learnt with a huge smile on her face.'

'Your attentiveness has not gone unnoticed, you were there for her when she was upset late in the evening, sending numerous information pages of information from PowerPoints to text books, detailed knowledge/suggestion emails to help with her revision, emails of praise, feedback and confidence boosts. All the extra sessions you made available in your own time to help X work through the mess she was in.'

'[Parent], X and myself cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done and don’t know what we’d have done without you!'

'Your school is very very lucky to have such a committed Head of Geography to teach students in the best possible way.'

'Yeah I’ve got them, thank you so much for taking up your time to help me once again. I only have to tell something on your on it!'

Tutoring Approach

I believe all students learn differently and am used to adapting my teaching to meet the needs of students of all abilities. I use PowerPoint presentations, videos and an old fashioned whiteboard to aid my delivery of geographical concepts (you've got to love a hand drawn diagram!).

I focus all of my energy on tutoring Geography to delivery the best results. This helps me to make sure I am delivering breadth and depth of knowledge.
