I am passionate about supporting students to achieve their potential. I love teaching, but get frustrated with the conventional classroom learning style as this is not suited to all students. You cannot measure the ability of a fish by watching it climb a tree. No two students are the same and therefore teaching and learning needs to be tailored to support the needs of the individual student. Working with students on a one-to-one basis is highly rewarding. I relish seeing my student’s succeed and improve their grades, but also, it provides me with an opportunity to discuss the subject more widely beyond the constraints of the specification and instil a passion for the subject in my students.
Tutoring Experience
I have 12 years experience in private tutoring at both GCSE and A Level in Economics and Business. I am familiar with and an examiner in the Edexcel exam board and AQA.
I have been teaching Economics and Business at GCSE and A Level in a Grammar School since 2013. I introduced GCSE Economics and ran that department successfully, with students achieving outstanding GCSE results significantly above the national average. My students have been known to achieve 87% A*-A grades or 8-9 grades at GCSE. Prior to this, I was responsible for introducing Economics at A level at a comprehensive school in Basildon. Before I moved to the UK, I taught Economics and Business at an independent school in Ireland.
Tutoring Approach
My sessions focus on establishing a core foundation to build confidence and knowledge. Economics is a hard subject. It is like learning a new language and those initial few weeks can be daunting. Students often get lost in the new terminology introduced in the first couple of weeks and this can be a reason for some students not continuing with the subject. By securing knowledge through a variety of interactive teaching techniques, students gain the confidence to access the more difficult parts of the specification.
As part of your sessions, all resources and materials will be provided. Work will be set as appropriate for you to complete and I will mark it and provide feedback. We will look at core content, exam technique and practice questions. There are many different issues which are likely to impact a student’s exam performance, but notably application of the subject in a wider context, the skills of analysis and evaluation and decoding the exam questions. These areas will be developed within our sessions and my years of experience have enabled me to devise strategies to address such areas successfully.
I have a wide range of experience in teaching a variety of subjects including:
English
Economics
Business
History
Psychology
Music
1-2-1 mentoring
Accounting
Law
EPQ supervising
I have experience working with all ability levels and a wealth of training and experience working with students who present with additional needs, including, anxiety, ASD, ADHD, ODD etc.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I will be more than happy to help you, and if I cannot help you, I am sure I know someone who can!

I am tutoring full-time after many years working in schools and quickly became fully booked, with many personal recommendations. I do accept new clients and conduct a free assessment to ensure there is a good fit and I feel I can help the specific student achieve their goals. I put a lot of work and preparation into sessions to tailor them specifically to my students' needs and have achieved excellent results including an A grade in sociology for a student who missed the whole of Year 12 at school and a C grade for a student for scored a U in their mocks just a couple of months before the exams! I cannot guarantee getting a student a particular grade and it is important to be realistic about your expectations before starting tutoring. One to one tutoring is very effective but is not a replacement for hard work and the many other factors that affect the outcome. Please enquire via Learning Navigator on Facebook or Instagram for more details and to book your free initial assessment.
Terms and conditions
I pride myself on building up a good working relationship with my clients. Since tutoring is normally for a period of some months as examinations approach and in the interests of fair play for both parties, I've set out some key points regarding charges and cancellations during the tutoring period.
Charges
A-Level sessions are delivered online weekly via Teams in one-hour blocks. Charges reflect my qualifications, experience and the way my sessions are tailored to each individual student’s needs, making them highly effective at boosting learning, confidence and grades. Knowing all the misconceptions and pitfalls on content and structuring examination questions makes all the difference and it is vital that tutoring is effective for the student.
I am happy to offer each new client one free initial assessment and discussion session to assess the needs and type of help required plus it gives you a chance to see how I work and fit in with your requirements. There is no obligation on either side to continue after this first session.
Cancellations Policy
Once a regular slot has been booked for the student, the same time every week, I will endeavour always to be available to tutor them. There is scope for discussion if a session needs to be rearranged (24 hours requested), subject to my availability.
From time to time, flexibility on both sides is required due to life events and unexpected occurrences. This may involve cancellation of a particular session or the need to reschedule and I will always try to accommodate if I can do so.
I am a sixth form student, applying for Oxbridge. I received 7+ in all my GCSEs and have experience tutoring students in humanities subjects.
