The tutor says of himself:
I thoroughly enjoy both Geography and tutoring with a passion. I am a fully qualified teacher with a PGCE in secondary Geography from the University of Cambridge and am a graduate (2014) of the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Environments, majoring in Environmental Geographies, Politics and Cultures. 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 the IB (International Baccalaureate) and 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. 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 have been working (part time) as a Geography teacher in independent schools and a university technical college in London, and an independent college in St Albans over the past two academic years, teaching GCSEs and A-Levels. Finally, I have tutored Geography on an international level at North London Collegiate School, Jeju, South Korea, and in Kenya for a private placement. Especially applicable to Geography, my lessons have a strong focus on exam technique, including essay structure and language; and effective exam preparation.

Here is some of the recent feedback Seb has received:
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 from North LondonI 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
Ms J from BarnetMy 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.
