Exam skills for A level/IB/GCSE Geography

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...

My Testimonials

Regarding David Poupart
During 2009 David worked with my son Elliott, coaching him in various topics prior to his A Level Geography Exams. He regularly went the extra mile and established a great working relationship with my son , and I have no doubt at all that the accelerated progress that resulted was largely down to David’s input and stimulation.
Pete Bennett
- Peter Bennett (Father of an A2 Geography student)
Mr Poupart tutored my son in 2009 for Geography during his AS studies. We found him very punctual, kind and patient. My son confirmed the lessons were done in a relaxed and focussed manner. We would definitely use him again

Testimonial….
Dave Poupart was employed by myself in 2011 to coach my son through Year 13 of his Geography A level. Dave was always punctual, friendly
but most importantly extremely knowledgeable. Dave always put my son at ease whilst encouraging him to work hard during the sessions and independently. Dave has excellent knowledge of mark schemes etc and I know my son found using these particularly helpful. I miss Dave's visits!
- Mrs Jane Bishop (Mother of an A2 & AS Geography student)
Mr David Poupart has been a tutor to my son for two years in Key Stage 3 Maths & English. Through David’s relaxed but thorough teaching style he established a very good relationship with my son. He has motivated him, resulting in improved grades. Mr Poupart’s professionalism as a teacher include: punctuality at all times; attention to detail; knowledge and patience. He is an experienced tutor whom I highly recommended.
- Mrs. Deborah Meade (Mother of a 14 year old student for KS3 Maths & English)
David Poupart tutored me for an hour per week for AS & A2 Geography in 2010. Dave helped improve my essay writing skills for exams. I adapted my techniques to make sure the key points and case studies were well remembered. I re-took my AS Geography Exam and gained an A and by sticking to Dave’s advice I attained full marks in one of my A2 Geography exams. I was also able to apply Dave’s advice and tips to my other subjects, so my grades also improved in them too.
- Amy Billingham - an AS & A2 Level Geography student
'I am very happy to recommend David Poupart. When my daughter was struggling to get the grades she needed for A Level Geography, I contacted David for help. He very quickly identified where her problems lay, and encouraged her with very clear and positive tutorials. This really helped her with her approach on how to study and answer exam questions, and this has had very positive results for her.
