The Time Saving Geographer

Hello all! I'm a passionate geographer working in an 'outstanding' geography department in England. Here you will find considered resources that I have created and found effective when teaching my classes. I strive to be meticulous with my materials and ensure they hit the specified content on the syllabus where appropriate. All my GCSE resources are focused on the geography AQA syllabus, although there are applications to other specifications too.
