About Simon
I have taught for 14 years and still find it satisfying when students discover something new or the 'penny drops' on a difficult concept.
My degree is Physical Geography and my specialist areas of Glaciation, Weather and Climate and Tectonic Hazards. On the human side I really find Superpowers and Place interesting as it is forever changing in our world.

I am flexible with how and what I deliver. I usually ask a week in advance what you would like to cover, this may reflect what you have done in school that week, or using a topic checklist to identify weaker areas. However, in the lesson I am easily able to adapt what we cover based on your emerging needs.
I have worked in a variety of settings, from private schools to 8 years in the grammar system where I have learnt how to push and challenge students to get the most out of them. I am now working in a comprehensive school and I am also able to support lower attaining students.
I am confident in both sides of Geography, Physical and Human, however, at A level I would say I am more of a physical Geography specialist. I teach AQA GCSE and Edexcel A level currently but I have tutored all other major exam boards including international specifications. I like to spend time at the beginning of the lesson drawing out what you already know, then fill in misconceptions / knowledge gaps before using my wealth of exam marking knowledge to help you understand how to apply your knowledge so you can maximise the number of marks available to you.

Simon has taught my son for Geography GCSE. His teaching methods are excellent and Simon offers variety in the way he presents topics. My son has made significant progress and now intends to study Geography at A level. We have been very happy with Simon’s support.
Simon has been teaching our two sons for GCSE and A level. Both boys achieved grade 9 at GCSE with one raising his grade from a 5 in a matter of months. We have been very impressed with Simon’s communication and diligence; his lesson planning is excellent and we recognise that he quickly got to know our sons well. I would recommend Simon unreservedly.
Simon is currently my Head of Department and I have worked with him for three years. He is an excellent teacher and is very well organised. He has excellent subject knowledge and has considerable experience teaching GCSE and A Level. He also has experience exam marking, so he knows the specification requirements well and can support with exam technique and essay writing. Simon would be an excellent choice as a Geography tutor!
I have known and worked with Simon for over 10 years. He is an experienced, highly trained, and excellent teacher who is trusted and valued by all who work with him. His relationships with students and colleagues are outstanding. I would highly recommend Simon as a tutor for any student of Geography to build their learning, confidence, and outcomes.
