Meet Your Geography Teacher

Thomas Maher

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.

Discover Weekly Geography Grinds

Leaving Cert Geography is not about essays and waffle-like many students think. Chief examiners require what are called SRPs (Significant Relevant Points). These are what dictate the marking scheme and are the key to unlocking this subject. By the end of these Leaving Cert Geography grinds, you will have multiple essays with 15 SRPs in each. You will receive a pull-out sheet at the end of each Geography essay in which you can write your 15 SRPs using the notes and a trigger-word section.

 

The following topics will be covered:

  • Plate Tectonics
  • Earthquakes & Volcanoes
  • Folding & Faulting
  • The Rock Cycle
  • Weathering
  • Karst Landscapes
  • Landform Development
  • Human Interaction with Surface Processes
  • Map Reading
  • Aerial Photograph
  • Regional Case Studies
