Madeleine

I am a Geographer first and foremost. My professional career began in Human Resources, where I specialised in Learning and Development and particularly in one-to-one situations working as a tutor, mentor and coach. In parallel I have a Master's degree in Learning and Development to ensure an academic foundation to my work. I am now also an Art Historian and applying my tutoring experience to my new field.

Teaching Experience

I originally came to tutoring through my professional experience and Masters degree rather than through a teaching route. I have 7 years tutoring experience and whilst specialising in A level, with experience of the Edexcel, OCR, AQA and Cambridge International syllabuses (and happy to learn others), I also tutor GCSE level.

Tutoring Approach

Our sessions will be focused on your needs and be conversational, helping you to develop your own thinking and ideas on the topics, rather than a one-way 'telling' approach. In this way, you will begin to 'think like a geographer' - the key ingredient needed for exam success. With essay practice in parallel, you will also learn to write like a geographer, using geographical terms with increasing fluidity and succinctness. History of Art thinking and writing will be developed in the same way. My own motivation and enthusiasm stems from a love of my subjects, which I hope to pass on to you. I believe in person sessions are more powerful, where there is the opportunity to develop a greater sense of rapport with my students. I do however offer online sessions where this is not feasible.
