I have taught in the UK, Kuwait and Qatar and therefore have been able to utilise my teaching skills in a variety of environments and to students of varying needs.

The subjects I teach and tutor are geography, environmental management and biology.

My strategy is to make discussion and complex environmental processes easy! And since I've taught students where English isn't their first language, students who weren't fully engaged at first and sometimes students with no prior knowledge of the subject I've got this skill mastered.

I use simple lesson structure with easy to digest information, diagrams, graphs and step by step exam guidance for answering questions.

My best achievement to date is tutoring a grade E student and seeing them gain a grade B in their GCSE. She was more than grateful!

Prior to my career as a teacher I also worked in industry as an environmental consultant where I was involved in creating reports, visiting sites, condensing information and making it easier for the reader to digest.

During my lessons you will be introduced to the topic by me before moving on to lots of guided learning. Students learn better when they have to think rather than having information thrown at them and I very much stick to this as much as possible. I will push you for answers whilst drip feeding information and using prompts to get you to the correct conclusion.

Daunting graphs and essay style questions will seem easy after receiving my guidance and step by step instructions on how to tackle them.

I look forward to tutoring and helping you with your exams as I'm sure my simple, no nonsense approach will be a breath of fresh air.
