Thomas Maher obtained a BA in Geography and History from UCD, and a Professional Masters in Education from DCU, graduating both with first class honours. His love of education subsequently led him to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive and Special Education, from which he also graduated with first class honours.
Thomas is very passionate and enthusiastic about Geography. His teaching style involves placing the student at the centre of their own learning by making connections between theory and the physical world, ultimately developing a deeper understanding of geography and the real-world applications of the subject. His teaching philosophy centres on the belief that every student has the potential to excel when provided with the right support and resources.
As well as his considerable classroom experience, Thomas draws on his experiences as an examiner for the State Examinations Commission to give his students a greater understanding of the examination process, allowing them to maximise their grades. By fostering critical thinking, curiosity, and a love for geography, Thomas strives to inspire his students to become lifelong learners and informed global citizens.
