I structure my economics lessons to be interactive, personalized, and results-focused. Each session is designed to cater to your specific needs, whether you’re preparing for your GCSE or A-Level exams, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of economic principles.

Lesson Format

• Initial Assessment: In our first session, I assess your strengths, areas for improvement, and specific goals. This helps me tailor the lessons to suit your learning pace and exam board requirements.
• Content Breakdown: I cover key topics in both micro and macroeconomics, breaking down complex concepts into manageable chunks. We’ll use a variety of resources, including exam-style questions, case studies, and real-world examples, to bring theory to life.
• Exam Techniques: I emphasize exam preparation by teaching you how to approach different question types, manage time effectively, and maximize marks with structured answers.
• Interactive Approach: Lessons are discussion-based, so you won’t just listen—you’ll engage, question, and apply your knowledge in a practical way. I encourage critical thinking and application of economic theory to current events, which is especially useful for essay-based exams.

Experience & Teaching Methods

With my experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students, I understand what examiners look for and how to help you succeed. My teaching methods focus on:

• Simplifying Complex Topics: I make difficult theories easier to understand by using clear explanations and relatable examples.
• Custom Resources: I create worksheets, revision guides, and practice papers tailored to your exam board (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, etc.).
• Progress Tracking: We’ll continuously assess your progress, setting short-term and long-term goals to ensure you’re always moving forward.

My Qualities

• Patient & Supportive: I understand that everyone learns at their own pace, so I adapt my teaching style to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
• Results-Driven: My ultimate aim is to help you achieve the best possible grades, but also to ensure you enjoy the subject and feel empowered by your growing understanding.
• Passionate About Economics: I love bringing the subject to life by linking it to real-world issues, which makes learning more engaging and relevant.
