Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have worked with the IB as an examiner on Paper 3, IA and the Extended Essays. This has given me a unique insight into the keys to success for the IB Geography course. Also, I have worked as an Assistant Headteacher in London and been a Head of Humanities and Head of Geography, in both London and international schools.

As well as being an experienced teacher, I have tutored students online and face to face in a range of locations and time zones from China, Athens, Switzerland and the USA.

Tutoring Approach

I am very flexible in the format used during our lessons. Whether it is zoom, skype, microsoft teams or google meet, whichever suits you. Lessons normally last an hour, but I can adjust this according to your needs.

The resources and revision packs provided will be sent before the lesson begins to ensure we maximize our time. I allow plenty of opportunities for students to engage in the learning as active participants to both ensure a memorable learning experience and to formatively check understanding.

Testimonials

"Mr Lock worked with me on my IA and I achieved a 7 on this and then a Level 7 overall. He showed my how to pick up marks to get the best mark. After talking premier league football we would get into the Geography stuff"

Anastasis, Bath University

"It was great working with Mr Lock. We would have lessons every Sunday, and go through revision on each of the topics, where he would give me notes. Aside from talking Geography, we would also discuss the trends on TikTok and our fun lessons would end up going on and on"

Argy, University of London

"Mr Lock helped me with both my IA on Geneva and my Extended Essay. We would draft and redraft until we ended up with top grades in both. We also did lots of revision of both Options G and materials for paper 3, which I found really helpful"
