Paul

I am an acting Head of Department in Geology and previously in Geography - I am also a Pastoral Lead, with 18 years of experience, teaching in a high flying school in the Home Counties.

Previous to teaching I spent several years working for large geotechnical engineering companies and the British Armed Forces in the same capacity.

I have completed a degree in combined Geography and Geology, and am educated to research masters level from the Comibined Earth Science School at UCL/Birkbeck - University of London and professionally I hold QTS, NPQSL and a Masters of Education.

Availability: Week day evenings after 4:30pm and weekends.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I am current and experienced examiner and have marked for two of the largest exam boards in the UK - marking both GCSE and A Level papers in both Geography and Geology. I have exam marked since 2010.

I have tutored alongside my teaching since the very start and find it very rewarding. I tutor all exam boards at GCSE and A level for both Geography and Geology. I also have a good understanding of the keystage national curriculum.

I tutor in person and online and use a range of techniques that are personalised to each student, to help support improvement. This includes a range of skills and knowledge based learning activities, alongside additional tasks that support each session.

Over my time, many students have made considerable gains in progress and over attainment. I can support with revision, improve writing style and structure and offer guidance on NEAs, fieldwork and assessed practicals in line with exam board guidelines.
