As most tutees of mine have had private tuition from me based on an hour a week or an hour a fortnight, it has not been possible for me in that time to go over all aspects of the A Level or IB Geography Syllabus. When students have requested I cover a particular topic I have done so, but issues (or weak spots) often arise during lessons and emerge from exam questions completed.
In my teaching I have concentrated on Exam Techniques and improving A Level/GCSE grades: - how to approach A Level/GCSE exam questions; how to complete a strong answer; and what examiners look for at the highest level/grades. My many years experience as an IB, A Level & GCSE Examiner helps guide students through the exam techniques required in these type of exams.
If you choose me as a tutor I will clearly go into exam techniques in detail. This has worked well with students I have taught previously and helped all improve their grades at re-sits and improve their understanding of Geography. The other aspect of my tutoring I have focused on has been to ensure every student has developed appropriate Case Studies. These are available from a number of sources, especially on 'geofile' or 'geoactive', but this web site is only available to schools via subscription. I would recommend any of the Revision Guides, for example those issued by Edexcel at around £5 per exam unit.
Teaching those of a younger age (Key Stage 3) has involved me in the teaching of actual topics in English & Maths, not so much exam techniques.
