Geography: Understanding Our Complex and Changing World

Hi, I'm Polly! I graduated with a first-class BA in Geography from the University of Oxford and I am about to start my MA at SOAS University of London. My experience includes teaching English in China for a year, over four years tutoring Geography from KS3 to undergraduate level, and teaching A-level Geography at an international school.

Geography is more than just maps; it's the study of the world and how humans interact with it, making it essential for understanding our interconnected planet and the challenges we face. This class ranges from physical geography, such as Earth's features and natural processes, to human geography, including population, urban development, and cultural landscapes. Students will develop critical skills like map reading, spatial awareness, analytical thinking, and research while exploring global issues such as climate change and sustainability. By learning geography, students gain a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures and environments, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate and address the complex challenges of our world.

As a qualified tutor for the National Tutoring Programme, I've developed strategies to address learning gaps and support students with SEND needs. My expertise covers human and physical Geography, ensuring comprehensive support across a range of topics. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, focusing on content mastery, exam techniques, and revision strategies, with follow-up exercises to reinforce learning and build confidence.

About Me

Hi, I'm Polly! I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2022 with a first-class BA in Geography. Originally from Bristol, I studied Geography, History, and Politics at A-level, achieving an A* in all three subjects. Over the past year, I've been living in Shenzhen, China, where I've been teaching English. This month, I'll be starting an MA at SOAS University of London.

Education

SOAS University of London, 2024 - 2025: MA Chinese Studies (ongoing)

University of Oxford, 2019 - 2022: BA Geography - First Class

St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School, 2017 - 2019: A-level Geography, History, Government and Politics - A*

Experience / Qualifications

With over four years of experience, I have successfully taught students ranging from KS3 to undergraduate level in various settings, including classroom instruction, small group sessions, and one-on-one tutoring. In 2023, I had the privilege of teaching Geography to A-level students at an international school in the UK. One of my recent success stories involves tutoring a student in Geography over the course of a year, where they improved from a C/D grade to achieving an A* in their A-level exams.

I have worked as a qualified tutor for the National Tutoring Programme (NTP), which provides targeted support to students falling behind in school. This role has equipped me with strategies to address educational gaps and boost students' confidence and academic performance. Additionally, I have experience teaching students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), enabling me to adapt my methods to meet their specific requirements and help them achieve their academic goals.

Linguistics and the structure and origins of the English language
English is spoken at a useful level by some 1.75 billion people worldwide. Most of them can speak several more languages. The jobs of the future, however, will require workers with advanced literacy and numeracy skills. Only 1% of the global population has the abilities and competence to teach the English language. Digital literacy and intercultural communication are one of these skills you will learn in my lessons. General sessions have 8 levels of learning (vocabulary and grammar), business language has 4. Academic learning (C1) is divided into three parts. 1) Spoken language such as diction, acting on stories or poems, public speaking, debates and discussions, etc. 2) Reading exercises such as the main idea, supporting details, the author's purpose, organisation and text structures, the audience, evaluating arguments, drawing conclusions, tone and mood, meaning of words and phrases, figurative language, graphic structures of information and elements of fiction, etc. 3) Grammar and sentence structure such as the parts of speech, constructing sentences, capitalization, common language errors, the essay, writing a thesis statement, structuring the essay, providing supportive evidence, writing well, etc.

School Geography tutoring for anyone wanting high grades!
In my opinion, Geography is one of the most important subjects to study as it gives a global perspective on current, real life matters. It also drastically improves one’s ability for impressive dinner party conversation ;) I can break down and explain all topics of school geography in a simple, accessible way. I understand that some complex concepts can be hard to grasp in a classroom, thus I can identity where students may be falling down with their understanding and tackle those areas first. Both Human and Physical Geography require a specific style of essay writing that took me a while to master, but going through that process has helped me to teach exam techniques in a straightforward way. I can create custom presentations for students and walk them through content they may be struggling with, or go over school work that needs elaborating. My teaching style values the personal engagement of the student so that they may form independent opinions and ideas that will make them excel. Discussion and debate are a key aspect of forming this confidence, as well as fun and interactive activities to cement understanding. Message me with any questions or requests, I can’t wait to get involved and help you understand the world!

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.

The Great Qur’an for non-Arabic speakers with Tajweed rules (teaching reading using the Noor Al-Bayan or Nouraniya method)
We are guided by the student's goal #If the student’s goal is to learn to read the Qur’an according to the rules of Tajweed with memorization # Divide the class into two parts. The first ten minutes of class 8 are spent teaching and repeating the verses until they are well memorized. Then we move on to reading in an easy and simple way using interactive books and educational games. After completing the reading curriculum, whether Noor Al-Bayan or Al-Nooraniyah, we begin studying the rules of Tajweed as well in a very easy and simple way # using interactive books. If the student’s goal is to read the Great Qur’an correctly according to its rules and not to memorize it, we start with the reading curriculum with interactive books and educational games, and after completing the curriculum, we begin to complete the recitation and study the rules of Tajweed. # I open the camera while the camera is on, and the student must open the camera
