Tutor Profile

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 a very experienced educator. Due to the abrupt closure of another tutoring site, I have moved over to TutorDex but have numerous 5* reviews which I will transfer over. I have been tutoring individual students on a one to one basis for around 10 years now at all levels (KS3-5). I make the sessions accessible, use differing teaching styles and techniques when necessary, and ensure that all content is understood thoroughly. Therefore, if you are struggling with concepts, ideas, application of Geography theory or aim to gain confidence, need a specific grade for university entrance or simply want to improve your exam performance, I would be more than happy to help. As well as face to face teaching, I also offer lessons online which usually last an hour but I am flexible. Worksheets and exam questions can also be sent over during the sessions.

Teaching Experience

Teacher of Geography to A", AS, GCSE. IGCSE, KS3. Also taught IB and MYP when working at an international school. As well as working in education for around 30 years, I am a current examiner for Geography for AQA but have been involved with Edexcel and CIE exam boards recently too. Consequently, I have much experience in this area, including inside knowledge as to how to answer exam questions effectively and accurately to gain maximum marks. Additionally, I am also up to date with current Geography specifications an how to achieve excellent coursework and NEA marks. My last cohort of students (2026) gained As and A* grades for their A level coursework across all boards.

Tutoring Approach

I make the sessions accessible to each individual student depending on their needs, expectations and requirements. Each lesson is thoroughly planned and developed from the previous session. I am happy to mark work or exam questions in between sessions and give feedback. There is no pressure to do extra work but am happy to help in this area too if required. I have qualifications in TEFL and Dyslexia and use these skills on a frequent basis when tutoring as I have a wide range of students, from Oxbridge applicants to SEND.
