I have a degree in geography, experience of working in scientific fieldwork, a study centre with the FSC (Field Studies Council), and have been helping children learn my whole life - from learning letters and numbers, to helping prep for GCSE papers. I think that learning should be tailored to the student, so part of my lessons would be finding out what you want help with, and how best that can happen for you. Everyone learns in different ways.
I believe that my experience of hands-on geography, both working in the fieldwork centre and out in Lanzarote monitoring the volcanoes gives me a unique view on both physical and human geography, as well as knowledge about the fieldwork requirements for GCSE and A-level geography.
I don't think that tutoring should be the tutor giving a load of information and teaching like in a lesson at school. I think that it should be more interactive. The opportunity for one on one learning should be used to work with what the student needs or wants to progress their learning. This could be discussing or debating an issue, doing practice questions, revising for tests, relating the subject to real world experiences. Everyone is different, learning isn't one size fits all, and should be tailored to the student.
It always gives me great pride when someone is able to do something that they thought they could never do. One of my favourite phrases is: "don't say you can't do something... you can't do it YET", it is always possible to learn.
