About Dion
Geography is a sprawling, ragged, gorgeous discipline. Quite simply, I love teaching it!
My approach is highly flexible, innovative and supportive. With a wealth of teaching and learning resources and activities at my disposal, each session will be tailored to the needs of the tutee. My aim is to make each session enjoyable yet rigorous to help tutees gain the highest grades. I have extensive experience working with exam boards and a strong understanding of the strategies essential for excelling in examinations.
I have limited availability for new KS3 and KS4 students at present (AQA or OCR) and KS5 (OCR exam board in the following topics: Coasts, Changing Spaces; Making Places, Earth's Life Support Systems, Hazardous Earth, and the Non-Examined Assessment). I am able to travel to you if you are near Croydon or near my workplace in Sutton. If you are further away from these areas, online tutoring would be preferred unless booking longer sessions. I offer a free 15-minute introductory session to discuss your tutoring needs.

I continuously strive to integrate cutting-edge research into my teaching methods. Drawing from the wealth of knowledge available in the field of neuroscience, I tailor my tutoring to optimise memory retention and cognitive understanding, providing students with a learning experience that reflects the most recent advancements in our understanding of how the brain works.
Exam success is ultimately the aim, and so towards the exam season, your son or daughter will benefit from a number of exam booster sessions covering all Geography papers that students tend to appreciate. These include:
• How to tackle the longer answer questions.
• Top tips for remembering (and using) case studies.
• Use the Figure! How to give evidence from photos, maps, tables, and other sources.
• Map skills and familiar/unfamiliar fieldwork.
• Final advice from the perspective of an examiner.
I also offer Oxbridge mentoring, drawing on experience from a department with a strong history of sending students to Oxford and Cambridge in Geography and Land Economy. I provide tailored guidance on personal statements, mock interviews in the Oxbridge style, and strategies to demonstrate intellectual curiosity and academic depth - helping students approach the process with confidence and clarity.
More widely, I believe that true academic success goes beyond simply acquiring subject-specific knowledge. Hence, I strike a well-balanced approach by not only imparting subject content but also nurturing essential study skills and examination techniques. This comprehensive strategy equips students with a strong foundation that serves them well not only in their current studies but also in their lifelong learning journey.

Dion's passion for the subject, teaching experience, and knowledge of the course were all invaluable when I chose him to tutor my daughter through her Geography A Level. He quickly boosted my daughter's confidence and progress. Thanks to his tutoring, my daughter's grades skyrocketed. She achieved an A* and she is now very happy at university. I was also impressed with Dion's knowledge of the latest educational research on learning and memory skills. So much so that I booked him to do a few sessions with my son on how best to revise for his GCSEs. My son is rather lazy but Dion's impact was instant. My son became much more motivated and his exam results exceeded all expectations. Dion's manner with students is excellent and we cannot thank him enough for the positive impact he has had.
