Hannah D.

I am a recent University of Birmingham Geography graduate, experienced in tutoring students at secondary school level and A-Level, having been tutoring online for over a year, and previously having delivered in-person tutoring for an educational charity.

I am friendly and approachable and have a passion for tutoring and sharing knowledge. Having studied geography for the past four years at university, I am more passionate than ever about the subject. I love learning more about the world around us and how people and the environment interact.

I'm happy to follow any learning style you prefer. Some pupils really find they need revision sessions or to cover the content, in which case I will prepare PowerPoints and activities to improve your knowledge base. Alongside this, we will practice exam questions in order to make sure you are completely prepared for the real thing!

Other pupils may need support with exam technique. In this case, we can focus on working through practice papers together. Typically we will plan a response together, discussing every aspect of the question and filling in any knowledge gaps, before you write a response, developing your exam technique. Then we can mark the response together and discuss things which went well and what could be improved going forward.

If you prefer other strategies of learning we can of course discuss this. 

Similarly, I am very flexible when it comes to homework between sessions. Some people would like homework to be set between classes to keep them on track, others already have enough on their plates. The real benefit of 1-1 private tutoring is the flexibility and so I aim to tailor every session to the specific pupil.
