Dr Daniel Removed (Ph.D. M.A. BSc) - Tutor and Examiner

Online tuition: All locations.

First/Introductory session - Free.

I provide online tuition for Geography (Human and Physical) at numerous levels of academic development, alongside being a teacher and examiner for both GCSE and A-Level. Having been awarded a Ph.D. (2017), and successfully completing both an M.A. (2012) and BSc (2011), I have knowledge and experience of teaching and tutoring across the discipline. Furthermore, I teach research methods and exam preparation/revision skills. My specialist area is hazard and risk management (seismic and tectonic hazards), but I also have the ability to teach social, regional and cultural geography, as well as physical landscapes, systems and processes. Lessons are priced at £30 per hour (including marking), with the introductory lesson free of charge. Lessons are provided face to face on camera, using slides and case study resources, as well as past papers. Tuition covers EDEXCEL, AQA, OCR, EDUQAS, Cambridge International. Refunds provided if lessons are cancelled with more than 24 hours notice.

I mark assessments and homework free of charge. As an examiner, I fully understand mark schemes and expectations. My academic commitments and responsibilities have enabled me to gain experience of teaching both large and small class sizes. Lessons critically provide an overview of case studies, encourage interactive discussion, incorporate transferable skills, and identify synoptic links between geographical topics.

Tutoring Experience

I have taken on numerous teaching responsibilities at Aberystwyth University, as a tutor and lecturer of both Human and Physical Geography. Modules have included 'Geohazards', 'Volcanic Activity', and 'Global Security'. The students enrolled on my modules have exceeded their academic expectations, with consistently high grades and the acquisition of transferable skills.

Furthermore, I have taught college students on the Aberystwyth Summer University. The scheme is part of the 'Widening Participation in Higher Education' initiative, and has allowed me to successfully prepare students for university.

I have also been an assistant lecturer, prepared module materials, and introduced students to field training and research methods.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is interactive, encouraging discussion, and critically providing overviews of case studies and subject knowledge. I plan ahead depending on the student's needs and intentions. I am reliable, committed, proactive, and can form a strong bond with students.

Please note, I am not able to record lessons.
