About Economics Academy
Economics Academy is a specialist A-Level Economics site run by Eliot King. It offers free revision notes and past papers for Edexcel, AQA, and OCR students — alongside paid 1-on-1 online tutoring and a paper marking service with expert KAEA feedback.
Eliot King holds a First-Class BSc in Economics from the University of Bath and has 6 years of tutoring experience with over 100 students taught. He is rated 5/5 on Tutorful and specialises in exam technique, essay structure, and content knowledge across Edexcel, AQA, and OCR.
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.
Free Revision Notes & 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.
Tutoring
- Free intro call — 15 minutes via Calendly, available once per student
- Single lesson — £80 per 60-minute session
- Regular lessons — £65 per 60-minute session for ongoing students (minimum of 3 lessons paid in advance)
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.
Group sessions are coming soon. Get in touch to register your interest and be notified when they launch.
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.
