Faye

My name is Faye and I am very passionate about teaching geography. I am a mother of two girls and live in Northamptonshire, England. In my spare time/school holidays I love to travel and have visited well over 50 countries, giving me a great first hand knowledge of the diverse human and physical geography of the world- from trekking in the Himalayas, to the favelas of Rio, low lying lands of Bangladesh to the beautiful cities of Europe. I also love photography and sharing my travelling photos in particular. I also enjoy walking in the countryside & crafting with my children.

Tutoring Approach

As an experienced teacher my approach is to achieve progress. This will involve initial assessment of students through questioning, knowledge checks and application to questions.
The approach to learning will be tailored to the student. Most of the time students will be working towards an exam, so priority will be given to exam skills as well as the geographical content to be delivered. Lessons can be planned to the student need or request.
