Qualification:

Geography BA (Hons) University of Liverpool, PGCE Geography Edge Hill University

Experience:

I am an experienced Geography teacher currently based in Southwest London. I graduated from the University of Liverpool (BA Geography Hons) before completing my PGCE at Edge Hill University. Currently I am undertaking a Masters degree at UCL, which allows me to take on the role of a learner and help adapt my teaching strategies. Having worked both within the UK and the Middle East, I have developed vast knowledge of the subject and personal experiences across the field. Throughout my teaching career, I have developed strategies to ensure stimulating tutoring is tailored to the requirements of each student.  Especially with the impacts of learning through COVID, my knowledge across several specifications and exam experience has proven to help previous learners hugely.  Since the completion of my PGCE, I have taught across a diverse range of schools with students of varying backgrounds and cultural differences. This experience has helped to shape my skills to adapt to individuals and continually develop my geographical knowledge. In each setting, I have a proven record of significant progress across all key stages and pride myself on the differentiation of students to achieve above their expectations.  Furthermore, teaching in contrasting settings has provided the opportunity to gain expertise in different specifications to students from 11-18years old. I have taught the following specs: AQA, Edexcel and IGCSE Geography for GCSE level students and AQA, Edexcel and IB Geography for students aged 16+. 

Approach:

My tutoring session include the use of past exam papers and explanations to aid understanding. Each tutoring session is tailored to each individual student, with lesson variations to target the specific areas of improvements. Sessions are varied to keep engagement throughout and both formative and summtive assessment is used to improve retention of knowledge and application to exams.
