Amy Johnson

I am a former Head of Geography who now tutors full time. With 20 years of teaching and tutoring behind me, I am a highly experienced and professional tutor who has worked with a multitude of different students with outstanding success. Having been an A Level and GCSE examiner, I have the inside knowledge on how to help your child achieve the best grade they can.


I have an excellent subject knowledge and academic background and I have taught geography to A Level in some of London’s most academic schools, including St Paul’s, Westminster and NLCS. I hold the IB Educator Certificate (IBEC) for Teaching and Learning in geography. I have taught and tutored all of the main exam boards, for GCSE and A Level, including Cambridge International Education (CIE). I am an accredited Pearson/Edexcel examiner for GCSE and A Level for geography. I have also worked with students who required extra academic support and have worked with children with SEND and mental health challenges that have led them to be homeschooled.

I have a Secondary PGCE in Geography from the Institute of Education, (University of London), a 2:1 BA in Geography from University College London, as well as a MSc in Globalisation (Merit) from the same institution.

I have a relaxed and friendly approach to tutoring, but one equally focused on success. Ensuring a positive learning environment for my tutees, where they are engaged in their learning is a priority. I achieve this through adapting my tutoring style to meet the needs of the individual student.
My tutoring focus lies in building excellent subject knowledge, combined with an understanding of exam technique and skills requirement. My experience as an examiner enables me to guide students through essay writing in examination conditions, as well as share the expectations of the exam board with my student. I have a wide experience with revision and study skills.
