Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

Online tutoring is from £30 for a 30-minute session. Home visits are from £60 for an hour. Full pricing is on the pricing page.

Independent-school-level A-level Economics tuition in London typically costs £55 to £100 per hour, depending on the tutor's qualifications and experience. My online sessions are £50 per hour and home visits are £60 per hour, with longer sessions priced proportionally.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, for the right student. Most A-level Economics students do as well or better online because we can use shared whiteboards for diagrams and the recordings are easy to revisit. Younger students sometimes do better in person.

Yes. I have worked with students who have dyslexia, ADHD and processing differences. I am happy to discuss specific needs before booking.

Yes. I work with students on personal statements, university choices and reference content for Economics, Business, Finance and related applications. See the UCAS support page.

I run small-group workshops by exam board, particularly before mocks and final exams. See the workshops page for upcoming dates.

Look for a tutor who is a qualified teacher (PGCE), has experience marking the actual exams (not just teaching them), and tutors specifically for the exam board your child is sitting. Ask about their A-level outcomes over the last three years.

Both cover similar microeconomic and macroeconomic content. Edexcel splits the course into four exam papers including a synoptic Theme 4 paper, while AQA uses three papers with longer essay questions. Edexcel essays are typically more applied and AQA essays more theoretical. The right tutor will teach to your exam board's mark scheme.

It depends on the starting position. A student aiming to lift one grade typically needs ten to fifteen weekly sessions over a term. Students aiming for A* from a strong B usually need 20 to 30 sessions across the year, plus exam-board-specific workshops in the run-up to exams.

Yes, if there is enough time. The biggest grade jumps come from fixing exam technique, not learning more content. A diagnostic first session shows where the gap is. Most students moving from C to A need at least a term of weekly sessions plus targeted exam-board workshops.

For final-year A-level students, yes. An examiner has marked hundreds of real scripts and knows exactly what gets credit and what does not. Examiner experience is most valuable in the final two terms before exams.

Earlier is better, but it is rarely too late to start. Year 12 Christmas through to the end of the upper sixth is the most common pattern. Last-term-only tutoring is most useful for fixing exam technique and targeted topic gaps.
