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 extensive IB experience as an examiner for Paper 3, Internal Assessments, and Extended Essays, giving me deep insight into what leads to success in IB Geography. I’ve also served as Assistant Headteacher, Head of Humanities, and Head of Geography in both London and international schools. Alongside my teaching career, I’ve tutored students online and in person across China, Athens, Switzerland, and the USA.

I’m flexible in how lessons are structured, adapting to each student’s needs and learning style. I provide all resources and revision materials in advance so we can make the most of our time together. My sessions are highly interactive, encouraging active participation to make learning engaging and memorable while continuously checking understanding to ensure clear progress and lasting improvement.

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"
