PAUL

As mentioned below, I have been retired for a few years but I am continuing teaching with private students. My wife and I enjoy gardening and travel. I also have an interest in writing, model railways and photography. We both attend, and take an active part in the life of, a local church. We are also kept busy with three adult children of our own and two granddaughters.

Tutoring Experience

I am a retired Head of Geography from one of the leading independent girls schools in the north west of England. I have more than 30 years experience of teaching pupils from Years 7 to 13, including IB. I have marked A level and GCSE papers and have also written an A level and a GCSE textbook as well as many other publications. I have given private tuition to a number of students in the past - all obtained excellent results.

I often have have five / six students per year. In the past most have been studying for A levels and were using a variety of exam boards - AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Cambridge International and WJEC. I have given support to GCSE students during 2016/17 and 2018/2019 (and of course taught GCSE Geography for over 30 years).

The requirements of students have varied and range from ....
home tutoring for the whole of the A2 year,
home tutoring for the entire A level (Edexcel) course (except NEA)
to exam technique support and help with understanding areas of a specification.

Tutoring Approach

I set high standards and always try to build a relaxed and supportive rapport with my students. At the same time I hope they will enjoy learning and develop an interest in Geography.
