I have taught for 10 years in Halifax and Bradford and have been a Head of Department for 5 years. For the last 3 years I have been the Geography Lead for a Multi-Academy Trust, supporting teachers in over 10 Academies. I have secured consistently higher than average results, with 7 grade 9 students from a class of 23 last year. My department has also had positive progress 8 figures of greater than +0.5 since 2018. I am a passionate geographer as I believe the subject is of vital importance in helping our world move forward in addressing the challenges of the present and future. Geography is a highly employable skill and I would like to ensure students have the opportunity to gain the highest outcome possible!

I have experience of tutoring both GCSE and A-Level students and will work with you to ensure tailored support and success.

Individual revision sessions available to support with upcoming mocks and summer exams or a series of sessions available. Setting, marking and feedback of past papers is also available so you know exactly where to improve on!

Sessions can support with teaching and supporting geographical knowledge and concepts, understanding, evaluation and or geographical skills. Sessions can be tailored to focus on specific next steps from schools, closing knowledge gaps, supporting students to accumulate marks through exam strategies. The sessions can be fluid to tailor to the needs of you and to gain most leverage for success. A typical lesson could look like:

- Choosing a specification strand / area of focus from a pre-given knowledge audit form
- A discussion / reteach of the concept
- Unpicking and coaching on applying the concept to an exam style question
- Writing an answer to a similar, but different exam question
- Providing feedback and support on further improvements

Alternatively, I have also marked exam papers (between sessions) and provided student feedback during the session for those wanting experience in preparing for mock and final examinations.
