Geology Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Jyoti S
Honestly the most intelligent lady I've ever had the pleasure of talking to!! Jyoti is teaching me GCSE Geology and was very thorough with the introduction to it! Very helpful and refereed back to me to see how I was understanding, but also queried about my previous knowledge to see If I already knew parts of the topic- which was reassuring! As well as also being very inclusive and clever as it really gets you to think about what you already know. Jyoti is really helpful and kind, she really knows what she's talking about!! I am very happy to be her student! Looking forward to more lessons, I couldn't recommend her enough ! :)

Alistair M
I approached Alistair initially as my daughter was frustrated by a lack of geology resources. Alistair used his extensive knowledge of the subject to help her to find the material she needed for independent study. In the lessons which followed, my daughter found that Alistair is highly skilled at explaining in depth the concepts that underline specific questions, enabling her to apply this knowledge to a wide range of questions in the future. I would highly recommend Alistair as a tutor.
