Joel (Tutor)

 Geography (degree, a-level)

 Geology (gcse, degree, a-level)

I am a trained geologist, and have used various scientific and mathematical tools within my study. I have recently returned to the UK from East Africa, where I have been using my skills in water projects. I am currently studying for a PhD at King`s College London, researching natural hazards.

I am a friendly and patient person, with an excellent ability to engage with people. I have good communication skills and am able to explain things in a clear and logical way. I have an excellent academic record, and have a genuine enjoyment for study and teaching.

People learn in different ways, and I try to understand the student to determine how they will best learn (writing, diagrams, debate & discussions etc). Subject knowledge is then explored through this method, and practice questions and past-papers examined.

Availability: I am available to tutor at certain times of the day, by arrangement. Due to time constraints the focus of my tutoring is Geology or physical geography courses

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I have worked as a teaching assistant as part of a year working in a school. This included working within the mathematics, geology and geography departments. I helped with a range of age-levels and ability groups. I also have experience of helping with undergraduate teaching, through assisting with BSc Geology practical lessons and lecturing. I have given a number of talks and seminars to geology departments across the UK.
