Jill

Private Geography Tutor in Gateshead

I'm Jill, a Geography teacher, tutor and examiner for almost 20 years.

I am a current teacher and work in a number of secondary schools in the north east of England as a Geography Director.

I have had amazing success with students that I have tutored at all stages of their GCSE and A-level journey and look forward to meeting you and getting started on your pathway to success.

Teaching Experience

I have been teaching for almost 20 years and have worked in a variety of Geography related roles such as; teacher of Geography, Head of Geography, Head of Humanities and my current role is a Geography Director.

I have been an examiner predominantly for AQA and OCR doe 15 years and a senior examiner for the last 10 years.

Tutoring Approach

Expect tutoring sessions to be interactive, you will need a device to work on as well as a device to communicate with me on.

First sessions are pretty diagnostic where I can see what it is your need to work towards the goal that you are trying to achieve. This might be that you have knowledge gaps, are struggling with revision or a tricky concept or simply know your stuff but need help applying it to questions so that you can gain the marks for exactly what the examiner is looking for.

Jill has been brilliant with our daughter; she’s very organised and thorough and has helped to build her confidence in areas of the specification where she’s less secure. Jill has listened to myself and our daughter and has tailored the lessons to support how she learns; the lessons are structured and targeted and she ensures understanding through exam questions before moving onto the next topic. Jill is a lovely lady too. I would definitely recommend.

Tutor response

Your daughter is a pleasure to teach and she is working so hard, thank you for such lovely feedback
