It is therefore common to see undergraduate students advertised as Geography Tutors as a way of providing an income at university.

They are likely to have considerable classroom experience gathered over a number of years.

Geography Tutors who provide consistently outstanding results are often those who have deep knowledge and understanding of the subject achieved through many years of teaching. A quality Geography Tutor is likely to have excellent classroom results as part of their tutoring CV.
