Geography is a core subject in Years 7–10 and a senior ATAR subject in NSW (HSC Geography), VIC (VCE Geography), QLD (QCE Geography), WA (WACE Geography), SA (SACE Geography), and other states. It blends physical and human geography with fieldwork, data interpretation, and spatial analysis — equipping students with critical thinking and real-world investigation skills. At Modedu, we offer 1:1 tutoring to support students in both junior and senior Geography. We help with mapping, fieldwork skills, essay responses, and preparation for external exams and research tasks.
Expert guidance for complex concepts
Geography students are expected to:
Interpret and evaluate spatial data from maps, graphs, and satellite imagery
Understand both physical processes (e.g. erosion, climate systems) and human systems (e.g. urbanisation, development)
Complete fieldwork investigations and analyse primary/secondary data
Write structured reports and extended responses using case studies
Students often struggle with:
Interpreting maps, data, and spatial representations
Structuring extended responses and applying case study content
Using geographic terminology accurately in writing
