I have been teaching Economics A level and GCSE at a top Essex grammar school for 22 years and. Perhaps you are just starting the subject and are anxious about keeping up – or perhaps you have been doing Economics for a while, but need help with some areas. Either way, I want to help you succeed and achieve those top grades.
I believe in fostering a deep understanding of the subjects I teach rather than memorisation. My approach involves breaking down complex concepts into simpler, more manageable parts, allowing students develop a better understanding and build a solid foundation in the subject. I encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students not just for exams but for real-world applications of their knowledge. As a tutor, I believe in empowering my students to become independent learners and critical thinkers. My approach focuses not only on academic success but also on fostering a passion for lifelong learning. I aim to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their curiosity while acquiring knowledge.
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 an experienced teacher and have a friendly encouraging and informal approach.
My students examination results are consistently outstanding and best in school for over a decade.
I have had great success with one on one online teaching to homeschool students. I can assist with the organisation of your child taking the external examination and the entering for qualification process.

I am an Arts Award advisor and can guide students to achieve Bronze Silver and Gold Arts Awards. I can facilitate entering for these awards. My experience gives me confidence to teach students of all ability and have had great success working with children with eating disorders, anxiety, autism and deafness.

I have been a teacher for 3 years + 1 year training in Biology. I worked and trained as a teacher at Ormiston Rivers Academy and was head of year for 2 of the three qualified years. I am now a supply teacher.
I have also tutored GCSE level for a year during my teaching profession.
I am grateful for checking out my profile. Mathematics is one of the subjects I enjoy tutoring. I am committed to helping students whichever way I can. At high school, I was very good in Mathematics namely A-level, further Maths etc. I studied Actuarial Science in my first degree which entails Maths, finance, statistics, insurance and some computer modules. I have experience in formal tutoring for many years years. I tutored some of my classmates and other students. Currently, I am studying a Masters’ degree in Actuarial Science at Heriot-Watt University. Topics such statistics, probability, calculus, algebra etc. are all quite easier for me to teach. I enjoyed from my previous tutoring experience since it helped students achieve their goals. Maths seems difficult since it takes a lot of time and energy. Many people are not able to keep up the pace with Maths lesson and thereby fall behind. Foundation is the key, without the right one students pursuing more complex concepts are doomed to face difficulties at some point. I encourage my students and assure them that there is still a chance. I take my time to discuss issues with my students concerning subject areas. It will enable me to know the appropriate learning style to use. It will also help me know the way they think and learn.
