About Calum
Hello, my name is Calum. I teach geography, development studies, and sociology from secondary school level upwards. I taught Geography at Abingdon School for the 2023-24 school year to students between the ages of 11 and 18. I really enjoy my subject; it has allowed me to work for development NGOs in Madagascar and Tanzania, and the United Nations in Jordan. I studied at Cambridge University, received a first for every year of study during my undergraduate degree, was in the top quarter of my master's cohort, and achieved 10 A* at GCSE and 2A* 1A at A level.
I really enjoy seeing how students 'click' with concepts and make big leaps. I believe that showing my interest for the subject and listening to the student's needs are the keys to top-quality teaching.

I hope to convey my enthusiasm for the subject in these lessons as I believe that being interested is key to a student's success. Goal-setting is also a top priority. In the first lesson, we'll set some SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound) targets and every subsequent lesson will be tailored to meeting your goals.
Whether you're looking to establish a solid foundation or expand your knowledge beyond the syllabus, I've seen significant improvements in performance in just a few months. It can be a matter of overcoming a blockage, or developing links between different areas of the subject.
I teach secondary school students of all ages and university students. For younger students, early successes and the motivation that comes with them are crucial to future achievement. For older students, I can help you get your desired grades. Having taught GCSE geography at Abingdon School, I know the exam technique required for the top grades. If you are changing school, I can help you fill the 'knowledge gaps' that come with that. I know that it can be challenging to adjust to a new curriculum, having changed schools myself.
At university level, I am happy to teach core Geography, Sociology and Development Studies modules. If support is required in particular optional modules, please let me know. I also offer advice and support with university applications in the UK. Having studied at both Durham and Cambridge, I know my way around and can rely on an appropriate network for first-hand details on a wide range of subjects.
I will use the latest pedagogical techniques in my teaching. Active learning is the only way to cement knowledge long-term. Lessons will include several refresher, summary and concept introduction activities.
If you are interested, I look forward to a free trial lesson with you / your child!

I highly recommend Calum as a tutor. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but he also has a real talent for making complex ideas easy to understand. His ability to adapt to different learning styles ensures that every student feels supported and confident in their studies.
What sets Calum apart is his kindness, patience, and gentle approach. He understands that everyone thinks differently and is always willing to adjust his teaching to meet individual needs. Lessons with him are bound to be both engaging and enjoyable, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is both highly skilled and personable, Calum is the perfect choice. I have no doubt that he will make a real difference in his students’ learning journeys!I have lived with Calum for a year during our time in Cambridge and am very grateful to call him a close friend. He is not just a first-class athlete and extremely driven and intelligent, but also super kind and fun to be around.
I tutored 50+ students myself, but could not think of someone more qualified for this than Calum. Here's why:
1) He is experienced (1y teaching middle and high school classes) and close to student's real challenges.
2) He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject (Cambridge University, volunteering abroad at length).
3) He is the most empathetic teacher you could think of (lived with him for a year), he will be easily able to find the best way to teach you/your child.
Wholeheartedly recommend!Calum taught with me last year and is an outstanding geographer with genuine enthusiasm for the subject. He combines this with professionalism and careful thought about how students can best learn with the aid of contemporary resources and an empathetic coaching style.
I was Calum's professional tutor when he was teaching at Abingdon School and we worked together for 6 months. I saw Calum as a teacher who cares deeply about his students and the content he delivers. He was always impeccably prepared with lessons that were pitched well for each age group, with the most relevant and contemporary examples and case studies, offering challenge as well as support for the students.
Calum has a wealth of deep knowledge, which he combines with the experience of having lived and worked in a range of communities across the world.
He is able to draw on that knowledge, tailor it to the syllabus and his students and deliver engaging and pusposeful lessons.
I would highly recommend Calum as a tutor.View more recommendations
