Fully Qualified Teacher | Full-Time Online Economics Tutor | 20+ Years' Experience | 12,000 hours of one-to-one tuition to over 400 students | Over 130 5* reviews

I am a fully qualified teacher, experienced examiner and full-time online Economics tutor, with a degree in Economics from Liverpool University.

Based in Bristol, I now tutor students almost entirely online across the UK and internationally.

I help GCSE, A-Level, IB and international Economics and Business Studies students improve their understanding, confidence and exam technique so they can achieve the highest grades they are capable of.

I work with a limited number of students each year to ensure highly personalised support. Please get in touch to check current availability.

I taught Economics in secondary schools for over 10 years and combined this with part-time tutoring before becoming a full-time private tutor in 2015.

I typically work with 40 to 50 students each academic year, and they consistently perform above expectations.

In 2025, the majority of my A-Level students achieved grades A* to B, with many securing A*/A grades.

All of my previous students have improved by at least one grade since beginning tuition with me, and many have improved by three or more grades.

I teach all major exam boards, including: Edexcel AQA OCR Eduqas WJEC Cambridge International Edexcel International International Baccalaureate (IB)

I have experience as an Economics examiner and hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.

I will always begin by discussing my tutee's individual requirements and areas of the syllabus they would like to focus on. Students may ask to recap concepts and theories that aren’t fully understood, however in my experience most require help with exam technique, and how to translate their knowledge into a high grade answer. I therefore place a great emphasis on guiding students through the process of answering past paper questions, across all topic areas. In our sessions I will help with essay structure, illustrate how to use higher order analytical and evaluation skills, and crucially, how to apply an answer to information in a case study, or how to bring in real world examples. I have an extensive bank of model/A* answers, that I have written, as well as hundreds of essay plans, that I share with students to aid the learning process.

Online Tuition

Almost all of my tutoring is now delivered online using Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, together with shared Google Docs.

This makes lessons highly interactive and engaging and allows us to work through questions, essay plans and feedback together in real time.

Students can use a webcam if they wish, but this is completely optional.

I have successfully taught students from across the UK and internationally, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Recent Student Progress

Examples of recent student progress include:

E grade to A* E grade to B Fail to C C and D grades to A What Families Say

“Matt only got an E grade in his February A Level mock exam and the school predicted he would get a C grade. With the significant assistance from Ian, Matt achieved an A* at A Level.”

“Ian is a brilliant tutor and one of the best tutors we’ve used. He managed to get my daughter from a fail to grade C in a very short period of time.”

“Despite getting Cs and Ds frequently in class tests, my son achieved an A grade in his A-level.”
