Private Geography Tuition in Gateshead

I am currently Head of Faculty as well as a senior examiner for both AQA and OCR with over 16 years experience teaching Geography. I have an excellent track record as a tutor as you can see from my reviews from parents and students alike. I really enjoy working with students 1:1 in order for them to achieve their goals and have had many successes with seeing students gain their University places as a result of the personalised teaching and confidence boosting that they need to pass their examinations with flying colours.

Tutoring Experience

I have a Geography leader and teacher for over 18 years. I studied at Durham University and have a great passion for what I do. I have been an examiner for over 10 years and more recently took on more senior roles for both AQA and OCR, this informs both my teaching and tuition.

Tutoring Approach

I always think that a telephone conversation or visit to ascertain the needs of the student is paramount to plan for the first session. Often students feel that they can learn what is needed but have little skills to actually retain the information and apply it to the examination. I always aim to make students feel comfortable and able to ask questions that they may not have the confidence to do in a class situation.
