About
I am a UK qualified Geography teacher and tutor with over 20 years of teaching experience. I have taught GCSE and A level Geography since 2002 and, since 2017, have also worked as a GCSE and A level Geography examiner. This has given me valuable insight into what exam boards expect and the strategies students can use to maximise their marks. Effective exam technique can often make the difference between students with similar subject knowledge achieving different grades.
I qualified as a Geography teacher at the Institute of Education, London in 2002 and have since worked in a range of leading secondary schools, from state schools to prestigious independent schools. My previous roles have included Head of Geography.
In 2015, I also qualified as a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo), giving me extensive experience in adapting teaching to support students with additional learning needs to achieve their potential.
The normal format for my tutoring is for me to send your son or daughter the relevant curriculum presentations to review before each session. These resources contain the depth of knowledge required to achieve at the highest grade level. Each curriculum unit is divided into three or four manageable sections. Once we have reviewed the content together, students complete exam questions to check their understanding and develop their exam technique.
This approach has worked exceptionally well with students I have previously supported who were aiming to improve their grades. Obviously, I adapt the programme to the individual needs of each student. As long as your son or daughter is motivated and willing to complete the work between sessions, I can certainly support them in maximising their examination grade.

What past students say
Tutor submitted“I am happy to announce I have achieved an A in my A Level! I’m so grateful for your help! I had so many meaningful conversations with you which made your class worth it no matter the grade. I understand the geography subject at much more depth which makes me more fulfilled, only with your help!”

“AABC for Geography is the biggest achievement in my sons entire school life, and it’s like a gift to me and his father. Last summer his father and I were talking about giving up on sending him to university (I was sobbing about all the disabilities he has got ) . I am not that religious person but now I have to be! Still I can not believe……how I could find you last September. Gift from heaven! Also, paper 1 & 2, you prepared him within only 6 weeks or less, just after 1 year tutorial from a former geography tutor when he failed the AS exams.”

“Hi Stewart, just wanted to let you know that mu daughter got her end of year exam result today and she actually achieved the highest Geography mark of her year group! She is so happy, and a huge thank you from us for supporting her to get this grade.”

“I don't have enough words to describe how great Stewart is, so I will keep it short. It all started as an intention to raise my son's grade from a D in his mocks. It worked, he got a B in his final exams at A level. He was so happy. But it became more than just revision, Stewart helped my son really love Geography, to look at the world differently, to see and understand how it all works. He ignited and encouraged an understanding way beyond A-levels and into the real world. My son often tells me something that 'Stewart told me'. Stewart really made an impression on him. We are so grateful and”

“Mr Blake is an excellent tutor. He is an examiner for the exam board and we hired him to help improve our son’s A-level geography exam technique. My son says that he is very knowledgeable, provides excellent resources and is a nice guy. After a few sessions, my son has a clearer understanding of what is required to get full marks. Recently, his school geography teacher said one of his answers on a practice exam question was, “a model answer”. I can see that my son is feeling more confident and motivated with Mr Blake’s tutoring.”

“Stewart changed the course of my daughter’s GCSE in Geography! I found Stewart at a really difficult time when my daughter was being home schooled due to difficulties she was having at school. Stewart took her through the whole GCSE Syllabus even managing to remotely organise and explain the fieldwork so that she could carry that out too! He is super organised and spent time with me as a parent so that I knew exactly what she needed. My daughter achieved a 9 in her GCSE which was amazing considering how behind she was before Stewart took over her teaching. She really enjoyed every lesson with”

“I approached Stewart in February, 2023, as my daughter’s Geography A Level prediction was a C with the potential of achieving a B grade (which she needed for her uni choice). In the 3.5 months Stewart supported her, he quickly understood the gaps in her knowledge of understanding and through excellent planning (slides sent ahead of the lesson for pre-read), lots of questioning to make sure she understood the topic well and gave great feedback, which boosted her confidence. It meant she went into the exams better prepared and she really grasped what the mark scheme was looking for. Thanks to St”
