Michael was excellent throughout the year. My son was struggling with A-level Economics and went on to get an A. We have already booked Michael in for our daughter. Mohammed, Parent of A-level Economics student, 2024
Tutoring
Economics tuition, every level
From GCSE through to first-year undergraduate Economics modules. Tutoring with a qualified teacher and current A-level Examiner.
Most of my work is A-level Economics. I tutor GCSE Economics, IB Economics (Standard and Higher) and first-year undergraduate micro and macro modules too.
Three in four of my final-year A-level Economics students achieve A* or A grades. That number does not happen by luck. It is what working with a qualified teacher and an A-level Examiner produces when the tutoring is exam-board specific and diagnostic-led.
I teach Economics the way I teach in the classroom: building real understanding of the underlying theory, then layering exam technique on top. The technique alone gets some marks. The understanding is what unlocks the higher grade boundaries.

Tailored to the specification
The mark schemes are different and so is the teaching. Workshops run separately by board.
AQA Three papers, theoretical essay focus
Edexcel Four themes, applied synoptic Theme 4
OCR Strong focus on macro contemporary issues
Eduqas Welsh board, strong applied focus
Cambridge International (CIE) For international students
IB Standard & Higher Internal assessment, paper structure
Approach
What students actually struggle with
Diagram precision
Most students lose easy marks on poorly labelled diagrams. We work through every standard diagram methodically and the mark scheme demands behind them.
Evaluation paragraphs
The biggest jump from a B to an A at A-level is in evaluation. Two-sided arguments, weighted judgement, prioritisation, all taught using past mark schemes.
Synoptic application
Edexcel Theme 4 in particular catches students out. Applying micro principles to global macro contexts is taught explicitly, not assumed.

FAQ
Common questions
-
What subjects do you tutor?
I tutor Economics at GCSE, A-level, IB Standard, IB Higher and undergraduate level, and Business at GCSE and A-level. I also support school programmes in Accounting.
-
How long is a typical session?
Online sessions are 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Home visits are 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Most A-level students find 60 minutes a week plus extra around mocks and exams works well.
-
Where does tutoring take place?
Either at the student's home for in-person sessions across south west London, central London and Surrey, or online via video call for students anywhere in the UK and overseas.
-
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session without charge. Less than 24 hours' notice is charged at the full session rate. I am flexible around illness and emergencies.
-
Do I need to commit to weekly sessions?
No. Many students book weekly through the year. Others book intensive blocks before mocks or final exams. I tailor frequency to the student's timeline and goals.
-
What areas do you cover for home visits?
South west London, central London and parts of Surrey. The areas covered page lists every town in detail. For students further afield, I tutor online.
