Learning about volcanoes one day and poverty the next can be confusing and the standards are only getting higher. Today’s geography exams are all about knowing what’s going on in the world – and Tavistock Tutors are here to help you maximise your success.
At Tavistock Tutors we don’t believe in one universal teaching method, because we know that every student needs a different approach to succeed. Map skills or globalisation, tectonics or development… it really doesn’t matter, because all our tutors are experts in their field, from Key Stage geography right up to post graduate level.
Our bespoke tuition provides personalised sessions which cater to your requirements and priorities, whilst making learning engaging and stimulating.
I first became passionate about writing in Year 8 when I began to see my writing improve from using basic connectives. Suddenly, I felt in control of my words and it became easier to interpret different view points and analyse varying interpretations. This gave me confidence in a lot of subjects as I started my GCSEs. More specifically, I began...
Across all of the different subjects I teach, I always notice the same thing: the main difficulty that learners encounter is getting overwhelmed by what they're trying to learn. It could be that there seems to be simply too much material to cover; it could be that the concepts seem too difficult; it could be that the whole thing causes...
My approach to tutoring focuses on igniting students’ interest and engagement while making lessons as enjoyable as possible. I start by identifying the specific needs of each student, then tailor lessons in order to directly meet those needs and help students maximise their potential while their understanding and confidence grows....
Whilst tutoring I would pay particular attention to the needs of each student, and tailor their tutoring sessions to best meet their needs and wishes. My approach to tutoring emphasises clarity, flexibility, and an enthusiasm for learning, within an informal and relaxed yet structured and interactive environment. I use a variety of methods and approaches towards tutoring including working through...
The human condition has always been of utmost importance to me, and this led to my relentless questioning of why people’s circumstances are so dissimilar in different parts of the world. My understanding of who I am and what to do with my life has been profoundly shaped by geography. The stark difference in standard of living, development and well-being...
I work incredibly hard to get the very best out of each student and make sure they are pushed to reach their full potential. I’m good at identifying a student’s strengths and working with these to keep them motivated. My sessions tend to be full of energy and enjoyable! With all students I set a clear set of objectives and...
When teaching and presenting complex theory and research, communicating with clarity is an absolute necessity, which I have done extensively in the cross-cultural environment of international MA degrees. Training people from very different social and cultural backgrounds is challenging and rewarding, and I have developed very good skills in conveying information and getting feedback in different ways in order to...

In secondary school I had an amazing geography teacher. While I was in his class my grades jumped up dramatically, boosting my GCSE geography grade all the way up to an A*. This is because he had such passion and enthusiasm for the subject and he easily conveyed that to us. This enthusiasm made studying and learning fun and exciting....
I encourage students to view the subject at hand in the context of their own life, so as to build an appreciation for it outside of a purely academic context, fostering a genuine interest that will hopefully extend throughout their life way beyond the classroom. I try to create tutorials that are structured around the curriculum that needs to be covered,...
