Edexcel A, Edexcel B, AQA, and OCR. Please specify your board when booking so sessions and feedback can be tailored to your exact specification.

Yes — both AS and A2 are covered, though the primary focus is A2. If you're studying AS, just let Eliot know when booking so sessions can be matched to the right specification and past papers.

The site offers free revision notes and free past papers:

• Revision notes: Edexcel A (Themes 1–4), AQA AS and A2 microeconomics and macroeconomics, and a macro application section. Notes for Edexcel B and OCR are in progress.
• Past papers: Edexcel A, Edexcel B, AQA, and OCR — all free.

Both are included, though the majority of the content focuses on A2 material. AS content is covered where relevant to the specification.

Notes are organised by exam board and topic area. Visit the Revision Notes page and select your board to browse by theme or topic.

Past papers are on the Past Papers page, organised by exam board — Edexcel A, Edexcel B, AQA, and OCR.

• Free intro call — 15 minutes via Calendly, available once per student
• One-to-one lessons — £65 per 60-minute lesson, with no minimum number of lessons
• Group lessons (2–4 students) — £35 per hour per student; pay for just your first group lesson, then book per half-term or term

For any requirements outside these options, please enquire for a custom quote.

Start with the free 15-minute intro call, booked via Calendly on the Tutoring page. On the call you'll discuss your goals, exam board, and what support you're looking for. If it's a good fit, Eliot will follow up by email to arrange your first paid lesson.

The Calendly booking on the tutoring page is for the free 15-minute intro call only — it is not used to book paid lessons. The call is your chance to ask questions and decide whether tutoring is right for you. There's no commitment required.

Paid lessons are arranged separately by email after the intro call.

All paid lessons take place on thelessonspace.com. You don't need to create an account in advance — Eliot will send you a link before your first session, and the same link is used for every lesson.

Sessions are built around what you need most. Depending on where you are, a session might focus on:

• Clarifying tricky content or theory
• Building essay structure and evaluation technique
• Working through past paper questions with detailed feedback
• Exam strategy and revision planning

Every session is tailored to your exam board and current stage of preparation.

Paid lessons are arranged by email. Contact Eliot at eliotkingtuition@gmail.com with your preferred times and any details about the support you need. He'll confirm the schedule and send the lesson link.

Rescheduling is possible if Eliot has availability — he will do his best to accommodate requests. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged in full. If rescheduling isn't possible, no refund is issued for the cancelled session.

Yes — group lessons run with 2–4 students on the same exam board and level, at £35 per hour per student. Join with friends as a ready-made group, or sign up individually and be matched into a suitable group. You pay for just your first group lesson to try it; after that, places are billed per half-term or term so the group stays stable. See the Tutoring page for details.

If you're looking for a different format, frequency, or focus, get in touch via the Contact page or book a free intro call and Eliot will let you know whether he can help.

Tutoring is paid by bank transfer. Bank details are shared once your lessons are confirmed by email. Group places after the first lesson are billed per half-term or term, based on the number of lessons.

• Single 25-mark question — £25 (£30 next-day)

Every package is available with a standard 48-hour turnaround or a next-day turnaround, and every exam board is covered — Edexcel A, Edexcel B, AQA and OCR.

Choose a package on the Marking page and pay securely via Stripe. Need something the packages don't cover? Email your enquiry for a personal quote.

All marking is done by Eliot King — the same tutor who runs every session on the site. First-Class BSc Economics from the University of Bath, 6 years of tutoring experience, 100+ students taught.

Every submission comes back with three things:

• A mark and a grade — a mark for every answer, and a grade so you know where the work stands
• An annotated PDF of your paper — comments marking where you made good Knowledge, Application, Analysis and Evaluation points, your mistakes, and where each of those skills can be improved
• A detailed follow-up email — longer comments on exam technique and structure, plus written alternative versions of points you made, showing exactly what you'd need to write to score higher

After payment you'll land on a confirmation page with one simple step: email your work to eliotkingtuition@gmail.com. Accepted formats:

• PDF or image scans
• Word documents
• Clear photos of handwritten work

Standard turnaround is 48 hours from when payment is received or work is received — whichever is later. For most students this means feedback arrives within a day or two of submitting. Bundles work the same way per paper: send the three together or spread them out, and each is returned within 48 hours of when you send it.

Need it sooner? See the next-day option below.

Yes. Every package can be bought with a guaranteed next-day turnaround instead of the standard 48 hours — your feedback comes back by the end of the next day, counted from when your payment and your work have both arrived. On bundles, each paper is counted from when you send that paper.

Next-day prices: single 25-mark question £30, bundle of three 25-mark questions £75, single full exam paper £70, bundle of three full exam papers £180. Just pick the next-day button for your package on the Marking page.

The standard packages focus on 25-mark essays and full exam papers. If you need marking for data response questions, shorter-answer questions, or anything outside the standard packages, get in touch via the Contact page with your requirements and Eliot will provide a quote.

Regular marking is available too — ongoing feedback on essays and practice papers for students who want a marker in their corner throughout the year. Also arranged by quote: just mention it in your enquiry.

No refunds are issued once payment has been made. If you have any issues with your submission or the feedback you receive, contact Eliot directly and he will work to resolve it.

• Marking — paid via Stripe (all major credit and debit cards accepted)

Your work and personal details are used only to provide marking or tutoring services and are never shared with third parties. Payments are processed securely via Stripe.
