IB Geography Tutoring
Great Learning Starts Here
About me
My name is Kevin Lock and I am a passionate Geography Teacher.
As an experienced teacher and examiner, I have taught Geography for over 22 years since qualifying in the UK in 1999.
I have worked with the IB as an examiner on Paper 3, IA and the Extended Essays. This has given me a unique insight into the keys to success for the IB Geography course.
​
I have worked as an Assistant Headteacher in London and been a Head of Humanities and Head of Geography, in both London and international schools.

Tutoring Experience
I am very flexible in the format used during our lessons. Whether it is zoom, skype, microsoft teams or google meet, whichever suits you. Lessons normally last an hour, but I can adjust this according to your needs.
​As well as being an experinced teacher, I have tutored students online and face to face in a range of locations and time zones from China, Athens, Switzerland and the USA.
The resources and revision packs provided will be sent before the lesson begins to ensure we maximise our time. I allow plenty of opportunities for students to engage in the learning as active participants to both ensure a memorable learning experience and to formatively check understanding.
​I am fully CRB checked.
LESSONS AND PRICING
I am very flexible in the hours I can tutor during the week or weekends, and the length of each lesson. Whether you wish for an intensive course to prepare for exams, sessions working on IA coursework, or lessons that cover syllabus content and exam skills.
​
Geography tuition for IB level (HL and SL) costs £40 per hour. Lessons are usually delivered through google meet, skype or zoom and would include the sharing of screens, model answer responses using online whiteboards and notes for each topic.
​
With each lesson the student will have:
- access to a shared doc or folder with expert resources including revision notes, exam questions, model answers and past papers
- Student communication through email and WhatsApp
- Updates for parents using WhatsApp or email
STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
What my students say:
It was great working with Mr Lock. We would have lessons every Sunday, and go through revision on each of the topics, where he would give me notes. Aside from talking Geography, we would also discuss the trends on TikTok and our fun lessons wold end up going on and on.
- Argy, University of London
Mr Lock worked with my on my IA and I achieved a 7 on this and then a Level 7 overall. He showed my how to pick up marks to get the best mark. After talking premier league football we would get into the Geography stuff.
- Anastasis, Bath University
Mr Lock helped me with both my IA on Geneva and my Extended Essay. We would draft and redraft until we ended up with top grades in both. We also did lots of revision of both Options G and materials for paper 3, which I found really helpful.
