Information about Katie
I have been teaching Geography for 10 years. I am so passionate about Geography and use this, along with my wide experience and commitment to enhance student engagement with the subject and reward themselves with better grades. I have also taught Year 6 English (ages 10-11) and am well suited to preparing students for entrance exams (11+ and independent school tests). Holding a Masters in Education as well as Bsc Geography means I take an active interest in the new Geography occurring everyday, but also in the new teaching techniques both in the classroom and using digital platforms. I pride myself on being able to bring Geography to life for my students, giving them a reason to study and making it applicable to their lives.
Availability: I am available very flexible with my availability
I offer one-on-one tuition and also small group sessions, as sometimes this is a better approach (3 students max). If interested, we can arrange a free initial consultation where I can ascertain the needs and you can meet me!
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I began my teaching career in London where I taught for 3 years in a high performing academy before doing a two year stint in an excellent International School in Brunei. I then taught in Exeter for 4 years at a highly academic independent school in Exeter, while tutoring alongside. In this time, I`ve tutored a great number of A Level students, from a range of exam boards and schools. Each have made phenomenal progress in their engagement in the subject as well as confidence. I have thoroughly enjoyed tutoring every single student and I am confident that I`m able to help you or your child make progress in Geography, whenever their needs.
I have experience teaching a range of exam boards from Edexcel, AQA and OCR as well as a range of topics and am confident in the requirements of each specification. I am also very aware of how the A level and GCSE courses have changed for current students. Whatever exam board you are studying, I have the resources to help.
My approach to tutoring will vary according to the needs of the student but I aim to engage and interest my students while providing them with guidance when completing past papers, model answers and online blogs. I will spend time marking work between sessions so that valuable feedback is given and discussed during our time together. Exam preparation is a stressful time for young people and I encourage a calm and focused lead up so that students approach their exam with confidence and enjoy their sessions with me.
