I have 8 years private tutoring experience, over which I have taught, helped and inspired hundreds of students across thousands of hours of lesson time. I have taught both A-levels and GCSEs as well as younger year groups, including preparation for 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. I have experience of teaching the following exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, CIE, OCR and WJEC. Importantly, I am familiar with both the old and new specifications. I have had a very large and diverse range of clients, including SEN students. I have also tutored university students in Geography and have guided them through essay and dissertation submissions and exams.
I am currently a Geography teacher at an independent school in central London, teaching GCSE and A-Levels. I have also taught GCSE and A-Level Geography at several other independent colleges in London and St Albans over the last few years.
I tutored AS and A2 Geography (WJEC board) at a London state high school in preparation for their exams in June 2016.
Finally, I tutored Geography on an international level at North London Collegiate School, Jeju, South Korea and have taught in rural Thailand, among other work experience in various fields on an international level.

Building a strong working relationship and trust between the tutor and student is very important, and being easily approachable is a vital characteristic a tutor should have. Some students may have just lost their inspiration to learn and so it is the tutor's job to motivate and inspire them. An important role for a tutor is to build a students confidence and acting as a mentor to them. Additionally, it is important the student is guided on an individual-based level and encouraged to actively engage and think, making links with information explained to them, and not spoon fed. Especially applicable to Geography, my lessons have a strong focus on exam technique, including essay structure and language; and effective exam preparation.
Testimonials:
“My son has been having lessons with Sebastian for about 6 months now. His grades have more than doubled since he started tuition with Sebastian and his understanding and confidence have improved considerably during this time. Sebastian is very knowledgable, organises the lessons well and explains things clearly. He always responds promptly to my messages and is very flexible when it comes to arranging lesson times. I would highly recommend him.” - Nana H, mother of GCSE Geography student
“I employed Sebastian as a private tutor for my daughter to help with ‘A’ level Geography revision. Sebastian had a calm but systematic approach and helped my daughter to organize her notes and material thoroughly. He talked my daughter through essay questions and through discussion enabled her to reach answers logically, sealing her knowledge. He also provided a very useful list of exam tips. My daughter received an A* in the final exam and secured a place at her first choice university. Sebastian helped her achieve this. I have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian as a private tutor.” - Sally J, mother of A-Level Geography student
“My son is preparing for 13+ scholarship exams for schools in London and has found Sebastian's style of teaching very helpful, very encouraging. After the initial assessment of my child's preparation level, Sebastian identified areas where focus is required and has adopted a targeted approach to cover gaps. Many thanks! I see a definite improvement in my child's confidence and preparation level.” - Prerna L, mother of 13+ Geography student
“My son had few lessons with Sebastian through Skype to fill up his missing knowledge. It looks quite efficient. Sebastian used some online whiteboard, video, graphs to explain, I guess the kids like that. My son said he understands the knowledge now, building up confidence, and passed his exam with a big progress.” - Mrs Fu, mother of 11+ Geography student

“Sebastian has been providing weekly support sessions, utilising Skype, for my son who is 17 for the past three months.

“I called upon Sebastian a couple of times to help me through an assignment I was having difficulty with. Sebastian was information and clear throughout each session. Even though my assignment wasn't Sebastian's specialty (Geo-Politics and all I only needed help with essay structure) he went above and beyond what was asked and researched my essay title in particular, he then went ahead and made suggestions on what he believed would get me the most marks. I ended up receiving a high mark for the assignment Sebastian helped me with, well above the grade I would usually get without help. I would without any hesitation recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for help or guidance.” - Eamonn C, university Geography student

Sebastian has been tutoring me since October 2017, and within that period of time, I have noticed that my work has much improved. He has taken his time out to aid me in my essay writing, which is what I struggle most at. Moreover, he has gone step by step through the syllabus and questioned me on the content involved. He has also provided me with detailed notes and case studies which are extremely beneficial.
Sebastian is a very responsible teacher, and makes his lessons interesting for Kathleen, with videos and links that they go through together.
Sebastian acted very quickly for an urgent plea of help regarding my daughter's geography A level coursework, provided clear guidance, advice and tips and then supported through on-line sessions.
Sebastian has been helping my son who has been struggling with (mainly) the physical side of his geography course ahead of his A-level (OCR) exams this summer. He is an extremely knowledgeable and effective tutor who makes the lessons interesting and explains the material clearly & precisely. He follows up the lessons with additional notes, reading suggestions, references, case studies etc. which further enhances the learning process. On top of that, he is friendly & fun & my son likes him immensely. I fully recommend!
