Specialist Head of Geography to GCSE and A Level, with a real passion for teaching Geography and helping others

Geography is a sprawling, ragged, gorgeous discipline. Quite simply, I love teaching it!

My approach is highly flexible, innovative and supportive. With a wealth of teaching and learning resources and activities at my disposal, each session will be tailored to the needs of the tutee. My aim is to make each session enjoyable yet rigorous to help tutees gain the highest grades.

I have 14+ years teaching experience in two Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' secondary comprehensive schools. Exceptionally strong examination results that are consistently above national averages. My department was in the top 2% of schools nationally for pupil progress at GCSE level in 2022.

My last A2 Geography class gained 75% A*-B grades with almost all students meeting or exceeding their aspirational target grades. 5 students out of 19 achieved A* grades, with one achieving full UMS marks.

I am currently Head of Geography at one of the best grammar schools in the country in south London. I enjoy keeping up-to-date with recent educational research in teaching, learning, and memory skills. I have access to the very latest and most effective educational resources to support your son/daughter.

I am able to travel to you if you are near Croydon or near my workplace in Sutton. If you are further away from these areas, online tutoring would be preferred unless booking longer sessions.

5* We have been very pleased with Dion's help so far. My son needed some support with knowledge and exam technique, he found Dion to be friendly and engaging, and seemed genuinely more enthusiastic about geography after just a few lessons.
Dion had obviously spent time carefully preparing for the lessons and provided some excellent resources/notes tailored to our son's needed. Would definitely recommend him!
(NB our lessons were carried out over Zoom which has not been any problem-in fact saved on travel time)

5* Would thoroughly recommend. Some aspects of the new AQA Geography GCSE 9-1 specification are quite tricky but with Dion's excellent tutoring, my son is feeling much more confident about the exam.
