Information about Zoe

I am currently working in a large secondary school in Manchester and have been a teacher of Geography for over 20 years and am therefore very experienced in the field of education. Additionally, I have been tutoring individual students for around 10 years at all levels (KS3-5). I make my lessons fun and accessible whilst using many different teaching styles and techniques to match individual needs. Having been an examiner for the AQA board for the past 4 years, I therefore have much knowledge and experience as to how to answer exam questions effectively and how to gain maximum marks. I am also up to date with the new Geography linear specifications and the changes to exam style questions both at GCSE and A`level. Therefore, if you are struggling with Geographical concepts and ideas, want to gain confidence or simply want to improve your exam performance I would be more than happy to help.

Availability: Available weekends and limited weekdays after school. Can do online tutorials if preferred.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: Teacher of Geography to A2, AS, GCSE, IGCSE, KS3. Have taught IB and MYP when working in an international school.

Very professional, kind, and patient teacher. I just started to have lessons with Ms Zoe in January and I had my GCSE exam in May. I was only getting a Grade 6 in the winter exam, and ended up getting an 8 in my actual gcse. (only a few marks out of 9). Thanks a lot to Miss Zoe for my big improvement, because the geography teachers in my school do not teach very well, so I learned most of the content with Zoe. She has a very good knowledge of the curriculum and exam techniques. We practiced past paper questions and she will mark those for me, so I am not afraid of long questions as much as I was before.

My son started having weekly Geography A level lessons with Zoe towards the end of year 12 after some poor exam results and struggling to get to grips with how to answer exam questions. Initially, he had a couple of face to face lessons to get to know her, then he moved online, which worked really well and enabled a bit more flexibility if he couldn`t make his usual lesson for some reason. Zoe worked on the areas that my son struggled the most with and quickly began to build his knowledge and confidence. She gave him homework each week, which she marked then reviewed during his lesson to understand how he could improve his answers. My son liked Zoe`s style of teaching and the way she explained the topics that he had struggled with and his grades began to improve. He continued with weekly lessons until his last exam in June so is currently waiting for his result, but his college tutors saw a marked improvement in his grades from the beginning of year 13 and he is hopeful that will be evident in his final grade. Zoe kept me informed of his progress each week and personalised each lesson to his specific needs. I would recommend Zoe to anyone whose child is struggling with A level Geography.

Zoe has been the best A-level Geography tutor. She`s been particularly helpful for me as she`s an examiner and can tell me where and how to access higher marks. I feel like I`m in very good hands! My previous tutor was terrible and was retired, he only let me send 2 essays per lesson and would frequently go over the designated time limit on purpose, where I would then have to pay more without knowing beforehand. Zoe was completely different, she lets me send as many questions as I like and we go through them thoroughly and within the time frame. For reference, I went to my old tutor on and off for about 4 lessons and his comments were too broad and wishy washy, I did not improve and was averaging a 10-12/20. I thought I was just terrible at Geography! my old geography tutor even said that there`s a chance I may achieve a B again after already having achieved this in 2020 when I went to him in September! That was a very big red flag seeing as though I was seeking tuition for an improvement, 10 months before I would be sitting any exams. I`ve had several lessons with Zoe and have shown so much improvement in essay writing skills! comparing the essays that I used to produce then and now has been a stark difference. I am now averaging about 16/20 in the topics we have covered so far! And I attribute this entirely due to Zoe, her feedback and comments. I think I sent about 5 20 markers and 6 9 markers and she had them all marked for the lesson two days later- that`s a lot of marking, an amount that my teachers at school would seldom do. I`ve also written an 18/20 essay which I have never achieved before meeting Zoe! Also she`s very flexible which is great. She has also really improved my confidence within the subject. I`ve had her for about 6 lessons and she`s definitely worth every penny. I took time to write this long comment because she`s truly helped me so much in such a short period of time so if you`re in need of a tutor, she`s the best!

Zoe was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in helping me with my A-level Geography. She went above and beyond and her teaching style immediately put me at ease. I could easily apply the advice she gave me to improve my ability. I could not fault anything.

Zoe tutored my daughter in GCSE Geography. She was improving such a lot with the help of Zoe. Unfortunately due to no GCSE’s taking place now, we no longer need Zoe. We would highly recommend her . Thanks Zoe
