About Me
Hello! I’m a dedicated English and geography tutor with a passion for helping students achieve their academic and language goals. I hold a degree in geography, along with GCSE and A-level qualifications, and a TEFL certification to teach English as a foreign language. With six years of tutoring experience, I’ve worked with students at all levels—whether they’re preparing for exams, improving their English fluency, or simply looking to expand their knowledge.

I bring energy, patience, and creativity to each lesson, aiming to make learning engaging and accessible. My background in geography allows me to connect topics to real-world issues, making complex ideas easier to understand. In English, I focus on practical skills that build confidence in communication, writing, and comprehension. I’m committed to creating a positive, supportive environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, take on challenges, and see their progress.

I look forward to working together to reach your learning goals and build lasting skills!

Tutoring Experience

With six years of tutoring experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with students across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and goals. I have extensive experience tutoring English as a foreign language and geography, from foundational levels through to GCSE, A-level, and university coursework. My academic background in geography—having completed GCSEs, A-levels, and a degree in the field—gives me a strong understanding of the subject and allows me to provide in-depth support, from basic concepts to advanced topics.

As a TEFL-certified tutor, I’ve helped English language learners improve their conversational skills, grammar, and confidence, tailoring each session to meet specific language needs. I prioritize a friendly, supportive environment that encourages open dialogue, allowing students to feel comfortable as they progress in their studies. My experience includes preparing students for exams, supporting academic coursework, and helping individuals learn for personal or professional growth.

Through the years, I’ve learned how to adapt my teaching style to each student’s unique needs, and I’m committed to making each session both effective and enjoyable.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that successful learning is built on understanding each student’s unique needs, goals, and learning style. My approach combines structure with flexibility: I create tailored lesson plans that align with your current level and objectives, whether it’s improving conversational English, mastering grammar, or exploring advanced geography concepts. For English language learners, I emphasize practical, real-world language skills, incorporating interactive exercises, speaking practice, and cultural insights to build confidence and fluency. For geography students, I bring complex topics to life with clear explanations, real-world examples, and exam techniques that help reinforce learning and improve grades.

Throughout our sessions, I maintain a supportive, patient environment where questions are always welcome, and progress is celebrated. My aim is to empower each student to become an independent learner with skills they can carry forward confidently.
