IB Geography Tutor12+ years' teaching
I’m Guido Crespo Segura, an IB Global Politics and Geography teacher with over 12 years of experience helping students make sense of the complexities of our world. I hold a degree in Geography Teaching and a master’s in Educational Technology. Originally from Argentina, I’m currently based in Germany. I’ve taught both IB and national curriculums, supporting students in developing strong analytical and critical thinking skills, particularly when tackling case studies or essay-based subjects. My background in instructional design and educational technology helps me make complex political and geographical ideas accessible, engaging, and memorable. My tutoring style combines patience, kindness, structure, and curiosity. I guide students to unpack challenging theories step by step, connect them to real-world examples, and build confidence through clear strategies for both short-answer and essay questions. I see my role not just as a tutor, but as an educator who helps students widening their knowledge and express their ideas with clarity. Beyond teaching, I’m passionate about global issues, communication, and lifelong learning. I love cooking, doing sports, and I’m fluent in English and Spanish while currently learning (or at least trying) German. There is always time for good coffee with a pastry, ideally a pudding bretzel or something with dulce de leche.
IB Geography TutorAssistant head teacherDurham University14 years' tutoring
My name is James. I am an Assistant Head Teacher with experience teaching IBDP and A Level for Geography and IBDP ESS, including the new syllabus. I am a graduate of Durham University (Geoscience) and the Institute of Education at UCL. I specialise in Geography and have 3 years experience with ESS. In my tutoring style I focus on feedback and clear communication of the processes. If I can help you to understand both Geographical processes and exam technique then it becomes much easier to apply real life examples into your exams. Outside tutoring I am passionate about everything outdoors, from hiking to football, as well as travelling to amazing scuba diving spots.

I have been tutoring students for 3 years now, and have gained experiences across a range of knowledge levels and study styles, so I am confident that I can adapt and cater to your individual goals and needs. I focus on creating study strategies that enhance your understanding and integrating the 'IB approach' to exams into every lesson to prepare you in the best possible way! Outside of tutoring, I love pilates, baking and spending time with my friends.
IB Geography TutorFormer Head of Department15 years' IB teaching
I have taught IB Geography and ESS for 15 years in Hong Kong in a top ESF school where I was Head of Department for both subjects. I like to get to know your learning style so that I can personalise my teaching to maximise the effect and success. If you need support with your EE or IA, I can help you understand and love the process and not just the outcome.
For Manchester's Environmental Science degree, Geography counts as a science or mathematics subject: the 2027 entry requirements list Biology, Chemistry, ESS, Geography, Physics and Mathematics as the qualifying subjects, and if Geography is your only HL science, the offer will typically specify a 6 in it. That is Manchester's rule for that course, not a general one; ESS has a similarly narrow status, explained on its own page.
Applying to Cambridge for Geography involves no pre-registered admissions test. Shortlisted applicants take a college admission assessment arranged by the College, according to Cambridge's admission assessments page. For Cambridge's interview dates and minimum offer, see our Oxford page.
In May 2025 the worldwide HL mean for Geography was 5.3, the highest HL mean of the thirteen subjects we tutor on this site, just ahead of Economics at 5.2; SL averaged 4.9. A high average does not make a 7 automatic: the marks still depend on precise case studies and on structured, timed essays.
HL adds a paper on global interactions to the options studied at both levels, and both levels submit a fieldwork investigation of up to 2,500 words. Our tips on Geography IA topics help with choosing a question you can collect data for.

“I had an amazing experience working with Anne-Lise. Each lesson was tailored to what I needed and wanted to work on, and I got the most out of each session with her. My Norwegian skills and grades improved drastically after I started taking lessons from her. She is an amazing tutor and a great person who I found easy and fun to work with, and I think it is because of her that I was able to course through my final exams with ease!”
“I contacted Lanterna in my daughter's final year of the IB programme and I only wish I had contacted them sooner! From the start, they took care to identify my daughter's needs and to match her with the most appropriate Tutor. Our experience with her tutor was overwhelmingly positive. His level of dedication went above and beyond the call of duty. Lessons were well prepared and constructive feedback was consistently given.”

Read the guide: How to Use the IB to Get Into Your Dream UniversityMost of the help comes at two moments. Before you collect anything, a tutor tests whether your question can be answered from a site you can reach on a school day or a weekend; once the data is in, lessons cover graphs, statistics and the analysis the criteria reward. Choosing the question, collecting the data and writing the report are your job, and draft feedback is your teacher's; our IA page explains the rules.
Often, yes. Paper 3 is the HL-only essay paper on global interactions and rewards recent, precise examples. A tutor sets questions, marks them against the IB's markbands and helps him build a bank of case studies, UK ones included, that bend to different questions. Weekly lessons through DP2 suit most students, with extra sessions over Easter before the exams from late April 2027.
Yes. In that case Manchester's offer will typically specify a 6 in Geography, so lessons concentrate on what moves an answer from a 5 to a 6: case-study detail, command terms and timing. Share your current grade when we talk and we will propose a sensible number of lessons.
Lessons cost from £58 an hour, and packages of more hours cost less per hour; the price tiers show the options.
