Personal Description:
I am currently Head of Geography at a successful and over-subscribed school in Leeds, and have been teaching in a number of schools for the last 12 years. I currently teach AQA B specification at GCSE and the Edexcel specification at A Level. I have also taught AQA A specification at GCSE and AQA specification at A Level.
Tutoring Experience:
I have taught Geography to all ages and ranges of ability upto A Level. I am currently Head of Geography and have an excellent record of exam success. I have examined at GCSE level for several years, and have gained a valuable insight into exam technique and the skills required to succeed.
Tutoring Approach:
I have a very patient and understanding approach to tutoring, and like to use humour as a way of overcoming difficulties. I use a variety of methods to explain difficult concepts and like to focus on the techniques required to succeed in exams - interpreting the question,responding to resources etc.

From Gillian (/5): (A-Level Geography) Adam has given my daughter a lot of guidance and useful information to help her with her A Levels. He has been prompt and courteous and flexible.
From Susan (/5): (A-Level Geography) Very helpful and reliable. Knows what examiners are looking for. Recommend.
From Hilary (/5): (A-Level Geography) Adam supported my daughter in her Geography A Level. After an initial assessment he determined that she did not need ongoing tutoring but the best approach would be for Adam to guide her studies in the right direction and make periodic reviews of her progress. His input proved to be invaluable and absolutely transformed both her confidence and her approach to Geography. It went from a subject she intended to drop after AS Level to one where she got an A* and 100% mark across both AS and A level exams. She and I firmly believe that Adam was instrumental in her success and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
From Jane (/5): (A-Level Geography) Excellent tutor who is flexible and punctual. My daughter's grade improved significantly throughout the year due to Adam' s support and guidance.
Many thanks,
Jane

From Colin (/5): (A-Level Geography) Prompt, friendly and reliable but more importantly, really making a difference.
From Kirsty (/5): (A-Level Geography) Dear Adam
I can't thank you enough for all your hard work with Tom. He has always loved Geography, but since his illness had completely lost faith in his teachers and his own ability.
Your fantastic approach has boosted Toms knowledge and understanding enormously and more importantly, you have renewed his interested and resurrected his belief in his own ability.
I wouldn't hesitated to recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent geography tutor.
Very best wishes
Kirsty Woodford and Tom

From Sarah (/5): (A-Level Geography) My daughter sat her geography unit 2 paper in january where she achieved a high D and wanted a higher grade, with the amazing help from Mr she gained a high A!! We are very grateful for Mr ' work.
From Mike (/5): (A-Level Geography) Adam is an excellent tutor. He's an expert in his field, quickly grasped our daughter's weaknesses and provided the necessary, knowledge, resources and technique to improve her confidence and performance. He made a tremendous difference - many thanks.
From Carol (/5): (A-Level Geography) Adam has been a fantastic tutor to my son for Geography. My son had become a bit disillusioned with the subject and wasn't getting the right support from his college, after a bad resit result, even though he is doing well in current modules. Adam has been able to get to the bottom of the problem, in order to concentrate on what has been going wrong. Adam has also identified how my son learns best, and has talked him through revising and exam technique.
Brilliant, thank you First Tutors and Adam.
