I moved away from illustrating / editorial cartooning in 2019 and back to teaching. Since then I have worked in some of the best schools in the world and taught some of the nicest people I have ever met in extremely rewarding environments.

I recently started my online Geography tutor service designed to provide 1-to-1 online tutoring for international students seeking to improve their understanding of complex geographical issues and through that raise their grades.

Students learn best when they are relaxed and I create a positive learning environment based on trust that allows students to feel confident in me as a tutor providing positive feedback and a depth of geographical knowledge that comes from 20+ years Geography teaching experience. In this way students become more confident in not only their written work but also their verbal answers that helps them process their thinking and understanding.

I deliver expert teaching sessions for IB DP Geography students who want to boost their grades or want to maximise their IA and EE scores, by developing critical thinking and essays writing skills that draw together the complex interconnected nature of this crucial subject.

I also offer an elite service for A-level Geography students who want to master Geography essays and their NEA’s. I help students deconstruct command words and show them how to apply critical thinking to information they present in extended answers and essays, which is key to higher grades.

My IGCSE and GCSE Geography tutor service provides support to students who want to maxmise their grades and I show tutees how to use past papers to improve their exam prep and write grade boosting 7 mark questions. I also provide advice on how to get high scores for the fieldwork element.
