Tuition Services
I hold a degree in Economics from a Russell Group university and have been teaching A-Level Economics for over 8 years. I've worked with hundreds of students across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and have a proven track record of helping students improve their grades.
Tuition sessions are tailored to each student's needs but typically include:
- Concept explanation and clarification
- Worked examples and practice questions
- Exam technique development
- Feedback on student work
- Progress review and planning
Sessions can focus on specific topics, exam preparation, or general skill development.
I have experience with all major UK A-Level Economics specifications:
- AQA
- Edexcel (A and B)
- OCR
- CIE (Cambridge International)
Please specify your exam board when booking so I can tailor the sessions appropriately.
Yes, I offer small group tuition (2-4 students) at a reduced rate per student. Groups must be at similar ability levels and studying the same exam board. This can be a cost-effective way to receive tuition while still benefiting from personalized attention.
For online tuition you will need:
- A reliable internet connection
- A computer/laptop with webcam and microphone
- Zoom (free account)
- A Google account for sharing documents (optional but recommended)
Before our first session, I'll send you detailed setup instructions.

Most of our resources are designed to be useful across all exam boards, as the core economics content is similar. However, we clearly label resources that are specifically tailored to:
- AQA-specific exam technique

When browsing resources, you can filter by exam board to find the most relevant materials for your needs.
