Matthew

Examiner | Master's in Education | UCL Institute of Education

I have taught Geography and History to pupils aged 11–18 in UK state schools and abroad for over 25 years. As an Examiner for A-Level, GCSE and IGCSE Geography, I know the mark schemes inside out and show students how to hit top bands quickly. Lessons mix clear stories, colourful maps, writing frames and past-paper drills—helping many learners climb to A* and 9 grades.

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 began my career in a busy UK comprehensive, later moving to international schools in Europe and Asia. Over the years I have taught every exam board, written schemes of work and coached new teachers. As an AQA and Edexcel examiner I mark hundreds of papers each summer, so I keep up with changes. My one-to-one students range from high-performing sixth-formers chasing A* grades to GCSE retakers who need support. All have moved forward with clear goals and regular feedback.

Tutoring Approach

First, we use a short quiz and chat to spot strengths and gaps. I then build a step-by-step plan that fills knowledge gaps while practising exam skills. Each session uses past papers, model answers and simple writing frames. I explain every command word and help you choose case studies that score. As exams near we run timed drills and review mistakes until you enter the hall calm, clear and ready.
