Online Geography Tutor Matthew

I have over 20 years of classroom teaching experience and more than 10 years as an examiner across GCSE, iGCSE, A Level and International A Level. I have been a Head of Geography and a Senior Lead Educator for the North West of England, where I trained other Geography teachers in exam‑skills pedagogy. In my own lessons, I combine current classroom practice with examiner insight to help students improve their essay structure, case study application, and exam technique. I work with students who want to move from good to outstanding grades, and I support them with clear explanations, targeted practice, and regular feedback.

I specialise in turning exam requirements into simple, repeatable strategies that students can apply under pressure. I am particularly strong at helping students maximise marks in Fieldwork and extended‑response questions, and I focus heavily on securing the “easy” marks in lower‑value questions so that top grades become realistic and consistent. My expertise includes:

Breaking down mark schemes and examiner expectations into clear, step‑by‑step approaches.

Improving essay structure, data analysis, and case study application in Geography.

Building exam stamina, timing, and accuracy through targeted practice and feedback.

Supporting GCSE, iGCSE, A Level and International A Level students who want to move from good to outstanding grades.
