Experience that informs my work
I’m Rob Chambers, an award-winning geography educator and experienced education consultant with more than 25 years’ experience in teaching, curriculum and subject leadership. Most recently, I spent five years as National Geography Lead across eight secondary schools within a national multi-academy trust, supporting curriculum development, assessment, teaching and professional learning.
I received the Royal Geographical Society’s Ordnance Survey Award for excellence in secondary geography education in 2019.
I now work with schools, trusts and education organisations on curriculum, assessment, professional learning and educational content, alongside personalised geography tutoring for individual students. My approach combines deep classroom experience with evidence-informed practice, practical support and an understanding of different educational contexts.
