Tutoring Experience

I’m an experienced and results-driven tutor with a proven track record of helping students smash their academic goals in Geography, Spanish, and English. My approach is straightforward: I break down tricky concepts, show students exactly how to tackle exam questions, and give them the tools to write exam-perfect answers with confidence.

My results speak for themselves. In 2022, 92% of my middle set Geography students passed, with 40% achieving top grades of 7+. In 2023, every single GCSE student I taught met or exceeded their predicted grade, and all my A-Level students secured B or above to reach their chosen universities. In 2024, my Year 11 students achieved an average two-grade increase in Geography. Most recently, in 2025, every student in my Geography classes passed, with many exceeding predictions despite tougher grade boundaries—a testament to the strength of my teaching.

I bring insider knowledge too: as an examiner for the UK’s largest exam board, I know exactly what examiners are looking for and how to gain full marks. I’ve marked hundreds of papers and consistently received top ratings for my examining. On top of that, I’ve achieved a 100% pass rate for my Spanish GCSE students, with many continuing to A-Level, and I’ve taught English as a foreign language in China, Italy, and Costa Rica, giving me a global perspective and adaptable teaching style.

I’m approachable, down-to-earth, and committed to making learning less stressful and more effective. At the same time, I know exactly what I’m doing and how to get students the grades they want—often higher. If you want someone who combines expertise with proven results, I’m the tutor for you.

Tutoring Approach

I specialize in using fun and interactive techniques to help you achieve your goals. With my expertise in writing frames, GCSE and A-Level questions will be a breeze. I use easy-to-understand materials tailored to your needs, and am flexible in my approach to ensure the best results for you.

In Geography, my focus is on physical geography - especially at A-Level, please note I do not cover glaciation / glaciated landscapes.

In Spanish, I use music, films, Kahoot, and pictures to immerse you in the language.

With English Language, I provide up-to-date examples to help you break down language and content structure, and for literature.

Across all subjects I offer easy-to-follow powerpoints with key quotes and information needed for exams. Let's make learning fun and effective together!

My rates are as quoted, but discounts are provided for block bookings of either 5, 10 or 20 lessons. I request payment at least 24 hours before the lesson, and cancellations without warning/ no shows (waiting for 20 minutes) incur a 1 lesson penalty.
