A-LEVEL GEOGRAPHY
£75 per hour
Jonathan taught Geography in the classroom for 18 years, the last 8 years as Head of Department at an Independent school in Surrey, UK.
Since leaving the classroom he has tutored A-Level Geography full time.
He works across all major exam boards including OCR, CIE, AQA and Edexcel.
Some concepts, topics or landforms just do not make sense?
Jonathan has taught hundreds of students and knows how to explain core concepts and theory in ways that not only make sense but can be applied to the specific types of question you are likely to face.
Essay techniques that you used at GCSE or in other A Level subjects do not work in Geography? Cannot consistently access the higher levels?
Sessions cover how to break a question down, plan an answer and build an argument — the tools you need to write top-band essays under timed conditions.
Not sure what to learn for case studies and how to use them in essays?
Sessions explain the 'stories' that case studies tell, and how to use them to build an argument rather than produce a paragraph of factual recall.
First time doing a Geography project and not sure if you are getting it right?
As a Head of Department, Jonathan marked and moderated NEA projects before they were sent to the exam board. He can support you at every stage, from Introduction to Evaluation, with the feedback that secures marks long before you sit the final exams.

He is very engaging and very clear in his teaching, making definitions easy to understand and helping enormously with the higher mark, detailed essays. Our son did brilliantly in his Geography A Level and thanks to Jonathan is able to study his first choice course at his first choice university."
OCR A-Level Geography
"My sessions with Jonathan were incredibly helpful as he broke down the longer more complex questions helping me to understand the best way to approach the answer. His very detailed yet concise revision notes for each topic were very helpful for filling in the gaps in my knowledge. Overall his support gave me a lot more confidence going into the exams."
AQA A-Level Geography
"100% worth it. My essay writing improved massively with his feedback and walk-throughs. I secured an A when I was getting a low B before Jonathan's help. I felt like he truly accommodated everything I needed, and he is such a friendly tutor. I would highly recommend him whatever your ability."
