As a current Assistant Headteacher and team leader examiner for a leading examination board, I have a vast knowledge of the new Geography specification. As an experienced teacher with 12 years of outstanding GCSE Geography results, it is vital pupils get as much support necessary to enhance their chances of achieving. With the current GCSE specification, it is vital pupils are aware of which questions test the different assessment objectives which can be identified by the command word. Pupils need to ensure they have good Geographical and locational knowledge along with impressive map skills. However, the high ability pupils need to ensure that their AO3 evaluation skills are effective. It is vital misconceptions are identified and effective strategies are in place to support pupils with subject knowledge or examination technique. My lessons have been heavily praised for how pupils' interests and hobbies are used to increase pupils' understanding of how to structure Geography answers.

My daughter was struggling with her GCSE geography revision. We asked Mike for his help. He was always there when she needed assistance and did a fantastic job. My daughter did well, earning an excellent grade. I recommend him as a tutor.
Mike really helped my son engage in Geography and take him from a predicted 3 to a 6 in a matter of only a few short months. He succeeded in engaging him and allowing him to enjoy the subject where the school had been unable to. A great tutor!
Mike tutored my son after he missed a bout of lessons and became worried about his exams. Mike was so easy going and approachable, made my son feel comfortable and he found it easy to learn (dare I say fun).
Mike tutored my daughter for 4 months in the run up to GCSE and she went from a predicted 6 to achieving an 8. She was delighted. Given that Geography was far from her favourite subject, she never complained about her sessions with Mike and she was fully engaged by the sessions with him. Would highly recommend - thanks Mike!
Mike is a fantastic tutor. His lessons are always fun and engaging. His knowledge as an examiner is incredible. Superprof are lucky to have him as he has worked in the tutoring business for years
I've worked with Mike for over a decade. He's an expert in subject knowledge and particularly exam technique. He's patient and creative when it comes to helping students recall and demonstrate key skills. He'll keep students motivated and engaged with his good sense of humour.
Mike is an excellent tutor and his knowledge of GCSE Geography is unrivalled. I highly recommend him as a tutor.
Fantastic tutor, really relates to his students to help them learn and understand. #geographyrocks
