Providing professional A-level economics tutoring:
I have specialized in economics A-Level as my professional focus, where I scored a First at Oxford University in economics, with three prizes in economics (including the Calvin Cheng prize from Hertford College); I scored the highest mark in the year at Oxford University in the game theory exam. I have experience teaching a huge number of students (110+ 1to1 economics A-Level students). I offer bespoke tailored lessons on exactly what students need to unlock their potential and get the highest possible A-Level economics grade.

I cover in lessons all the analysis, evaluation and application in depth needed to score a top grade in A-Level economics through optimizing students’ results, learning and exam technique; I have written very detailed, exam focused A-Level economics notes, covering the key evaluation, analysis and application points for the whole of A-Level economics. I dedicate myself to offering the best possible A-Level economics tutoring, through studying, preparing resources and reading many A-Level economics textbooks (I have read at least 5 A-Level economics textbooks), mark schemes and past papers: I have carefully prepared resources, read textbooks and selected past paper questions from well over 1000 pages of the best, most useful, material for A-Level economics students to help them engage with content to score the highest marks. I have also honed my expertise in an international tutoring school (Akademeia Tutorial College) where I worked full time, helping students in A-Level economics with optimal exam technique.

For every lesson, I provide thorough coverage of the most exam focused material students need and provide homework with extensive past paper practice organised by topic to ensure students learn how to apply their knowledge to the exam. Studying economics at Oxford for my undergraduate and at Cambridge on the master’s course, I read many thousands of pages of economic theory, which means I can add depth, detail and context to the entire A-Level syllabus as well. Evaluation is worth up to 28% of marks and is crucial to score well for all exam boards on the mark scheme (AQA/Edexcel/OCR/Edequas/CAIE). I offer detailed evaluation points in lessons that I have carefully prepared for students because it is weighted so highly on the mark scheme for A-Level economics. My students have exceptional performance consequently. I can make sure students know exactly what they are doing in the exam to maximize their mark in 25 mark questions. I tutored A-Level economics heavily in an international tutoring school Akademeia Tutorial College, where I worked full time as a professional tutor for international students, targeting UK universities for economics.

Economics Oxbridge Admissions:
I can help with the TSA, college choice, extra reading, personal statements and interviews. Several former students have attained places at Oxford University for economics (PPE and E&M); I helped a student go from the 30th percentile to the top percentile (1/100) in the TSA, which secured them a place at Oxford University (Lady Margaret Hall) for Economics and Management. I helped international students optimise their interview performance, such that they won admission for PPE Oxford. I have an extensive catalogue of past interview questions for PPE Oxford (90 pages of interview questions), with particular expertise in helping students with game theory past interview questions commonly asked in microeconomics interviews (I scored the best mark in the year at Oxford in game theory) at Oxford. I can help students optimize their preparation by selecting interview questions asked previously at the exact college they are applying for, providing the First class ideas and insights that worked well for me in the Oxford University exams to help me secure 3 prizes.

I have many AS economics students starting the A2 syllabus and prefer students for A-Level economics (Edexcel/AQA/OCR/Eduqas/CAIE), as A-Level economics is my specialist tutoring area. I have some slots available now for the new academic year commencing in September 2025. I have over 5000 hrs and 8 years of professional tutoring experience (since 2017); I have taught numerically at least 110 economics A-Level students one to one. Last year, I had to take down my advert due to excess demand in 2024 December in the academic year, tutoring regularly 60-70hr weeks until the June 2025 exam. I have some slots available now for 2025 (updated 23.8.2025). I have experience with and am happy to take on IB economics, GCSE economics and economics oxbridge admissions students.

Tutoring Experience

I started private tutoring in 2017 (7 years ago) and now work as a professional full time (60hrs a week) specialist economics A-Level tutor. I worked full time (50+ hrs 1to1 a week) as a professional tutor at Akademeia Tutorial College, where I focused on economics A-Level and maths A-Level in Warsaw (for international students seeking A-Levels and GCSEs for UK universities) in the academic year 2021-2022. I teach GCSE maths, economics A-Level, Maths A-Level, #k#oxbridge applications (interviews, personal statements, general preparation and guidance and the PPE entrance exam, TSA), politics A-Level, economics A-Level and 11+ and 13+ entrance exams for private schools. My lessons on essay analysis and evaluation notes for A-Level Economics I wrote have helped several students jump grades (from C to A) very quickly through better exam technique as well as critical evaluation of economic models in the A-Level. Additionally, students last year increased their maths A-Level scores in pure papers from 40% to 90% through private A-Level maths tutoring. I have helped students win places at RGS Guildford (where I was a student), Churcher

Tutoring Approach

My economics lessons cover all the analysis and evaluation needed to get an A* for each economics model in A-Level economics. I have detailed notes on online whiteboards that are shareable with the students for every economics model to help them consolidate the material and prepare for the exam. I find evaluation, which is 40% of all essay questions, is not covered well in either the edexcel textbook or the specification, so I have bought extra textbooks to offer clear and thorough coverage of evaluation to make sure students get the 40% of marks available in essay questions in the exam for evaluation. I cover and clarify key concepts, models and evaluation too in the lessons that students need to do well in A-Level economics exams. These lessons focused on economics evaluation have helped students climb several grade boundaries from private tutoring lessons quickly. My maths lessons typically focus on past papers for A-Level and GCSE that my students have done or need help with. I help with practicing and solving the past papers in an interactive and engaging manner on online whiteboards that helps with gaining confidence, experience and problem solving methods relevant for maths exams. I set homework too to structure students' independent learning and help consolidate what we cover in lessons. I enjoy inspiring students to do well in their studies and future through tutoring. I like the theory of the zone of proximal development from Vygotsky as it relates to teaching and capturing students' interests. I find younger students in particular respond well to lessons that stretch and engage them at the edge of what they currently know and have mastered. Economics research indicates students can learn up to 3 times more a year by having questions tailored to their current knowledge level. I think tutoring is very beneficial for students precisely because it is tailored and focused on the student's needs, interests and speed of working, which maximizes engagement and retained learning for the student compared to classroom learning. Having spent the last six years as a private tutor, I believe active recall and spaced repetition are the most effective method for students to learn and retain information. I therefore engage students as much as possible with questions that stretch and engage them, as well as consolidate previous material we have already covered through appropriately intellectually challenging questions related to the material we discuss throughout lessons.
