Geography Examiner; Subject Expert and Qualified Geography specialist offering bespoke learning, with over 400+ students tutored

Advert description

I have now gone part-time to concentrate my efforts fully to your exam success having been teaching 11-18 Geography for 30+ years. I’ve taught around 1400 GCSE students in that time and around 500 A-level students and have tutored over 400 students over the last 8 years with over 90 five-star reviews. I am married with 3 children. I have been a Head of Humanities; Geography and a Senior Teacher over many years. I have a passion and love for Geography that I can’t wait to share with you. You will get loads of high-quality resources and revision ideas to get you the exam success ‘we’ want as well as save you time from creating your own revision notes e.g. case study notes. After the first lesson I always give you the option to walk away if you didn't enjoy the lesson and learn anything as I want to offer value for money. I am a specialist in UK and international A-Level as well as all GCSE and iGCSE syllabuses. I am currently a Senior Examiner and Moderator for AQA and OCR and a Lead Examiner for AQA INTERNATIONAL A-Level (formally known as a Chief Examiner - i.e. the person who writes the exam paper). I tutor online to provide support for a wide range of students, particularly 11/13+/scholarship, Year 10/11 GCSE and Year 12/13 A-level students. I also provide fully planned sessions to support remote learning. I have a wealth of examining experience, starting way back in 1992 with S.E.G (now AQA). I have moderated coursework for all exam boards and am currently a senior moderator at A-Level (NEA) for OCR and AQA. I have been a Team Leader since 2005 for OCR and currently provide INSET for OCR schools and teachers as a subject expert. I am also currently a senior examiner (TEAM LEADER) for AQA and OCR currently marking the A-Level paper 1 (physical) for both boards. I also team lead AQA paper 3 and have past experience of both Geog1 (2004 – 2016) and Geog3 (-). I was the Principal Examiner for GCSE coursework from 2009 – 2014. I have also marked Unit 1 and Unit 2 GCSE exams for AQA, iGCSE and the OCR and the SDME (now paper 2). This gives me a clear insight into what the examiners look for and the essential skill here is to understand what they want with a clear understanding of the importance of command words for academic glory. In summary I’m your man if it’s improved exam techniques as well as content and revision materials

A's Mum

Simon's lessons were engaging, structured and supported our daughter's subject development and confidence. He was able to provide tips and advice given his exam assessor background. Our daughter was extremely shy and lacking in confidence and Simon was able to get her on board. She secured a great final result with her A level Geography grade rising 3 levels from her end of summer mocks. Simon was reliable, flexible and kept us up to date as needed. We would highly recommend Simon

Simon is an amazing tutor he taught my daughter A-Level Geography from the start of Year 13, where she was currently working at a B and came out with an A* after his support. He is very knowledgeable and puts a lot of attention on exam technique, which she found very useful. He also helped her on her NEA and she got 58/60. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more!

Simon is a great teacher who is very knowledgeable and has an abundance of resources. His lessons are engaging and he explains areas of content that I found challenging in A-Level geography very clearly as well as focusing a lot on exam technique. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for some extra help and support with geography.
