As a geography tutor, I have accrued rich experience teaching high schools pupils across key stages 3-5 over 9 months of teaching in two secondary schools in Greater Manchester. My journey in education began with tutoring KS2 pupils in preparation for 11+ exams (over a period of 2 years), where I successfully guided them to achieve their goals; more recently I have conducted private tutoring in preparation for GCSE exams whilst completing my teacher training in 2024. My methodology is multifaceted and designed to engage and challenge students at every level. My lessons typically begin with a knowledge recall activity to retrieve foundational knowledge and support the comprehension of new content. This would be followed by a deep delve into the subject matter, incorporating a variety of interactive activities (quizzes, higher order questioning, image analysis and extended writing), and ending with an exit-pass style plenary exercise - this is to measure that key takeaways of the lesson have been retained by the pupil. As a tutor, I am a patient and passionate individual, who is dedicated to fostering a love for geography. I strive to reveal the relevancy of subject content to everyday life through the provision of powerful knowledge and I seek to identify key strengths and areas for improvement to realise the success of my pupils in geography. As a tutor, I aim to marry the imperative for academic excellence with the ambition for pupils to locate their priorities and to be the best that they can be.

Tom was a really great tutor. He had such enthusiasm for the geography sessions we did together, as well as being very knowledgeable. He quickly put me at ease and he was very patient when I was finding things a bit difficult. He helped me a lot with my writing skills, showing me how to present what I had learnt in the best way. It was clear he had put a lot of effort into the tutoring sessions and his PowerPoints were really helpful and the way he structured the sessions kept it interesting. Having the sessions with Tom really helped improve my confidence in the subject and my grades.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Tom as my tutor, and I can honestly say they are one of the best tutors I’ve ever had. Not only is Tom incredibly knowledgeable in a variety of subjects like maths, geography and english he’s also very friendly. He has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into simple, understandable terms. Tom also has a plethora of teaching methods e.g. through music, art and mind games etc. They tailored each lesson to my specific needs, ensuring that I was always learning at my best capacity. Tom is patient and dedicated, always taking the time to ensure I fully understood the material before moving on. He also provided additional resources and practice problems, which greatly helped me improve my understanding and confidence. He would go out of his way to make certain subjects or projects that, for me, seemed dull into something much more interesting. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated tutor!
