Ian tutored my son for AQA A-level Economics, with a particular focus on improving his 25-mark essays. My son really enjoyed Ian's teaching style, and we saw a significant improvement in both his confidence and the quality of his work. As a parent, I found Ian to be highly responsive, reliable, and flexible when it came to scheduling lessons. I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent Economics tutor.

Ian started tutoring our son in A level economics at the end of his first year in sixth form after he received a late dyslexia diagnosis. He progressed from a being predicted a grade C and getting a grade D in is mocks, to achieving a really strong grade A in his actual A level exams. Ian helped to consolidate learning and with applying that learning to the various different styles of questions. As they neared the actual exams, lots of past papers / questions were completed with great feedback. Our son will be off to his first choice uni to study economics. Thank you Ian!

In particular, I liked the routine of our lessons: first, we would discuss the topics or techniques that we would cover that day. Then, I would start writing my responses from sample questions, with Ian adding in comments to the document live. We would also discuss alternative ideas for longer essays, such as 25 markers on monopolies or consumer welfare, with Ian's samples on these topics being very useful. The most valuable part of the lesson were the explanations - he is very good at breaking down specific concepts and constructing diagrams from scratch (such as the quota diagram, including consumer and producer surplus). In addition, whenever I gave a wrong answer on a multiple choice question, he would guide me towards the correct one without just telling me.

Ian Armstrong is the most exceptional and professional tutor we have worked with during ten years of home-educating my son. From the outset, Ian exceeded every expectation. Within just a few sessions, my son was genuinely enjoying Economics, which says a great deal about Ian’s engaging and encouraging teaching style. Ian tutored my son for two years (Edexcel A Economics) and showed outstanding patience, adaptability and dedication throughout. My son has a slow processing speed and needs more time to absorb, understand and write information. Ian tailored his teaching carefully to meet these needs, making sure each topic was properly understood before moving on. His exam preparation was particularly valuable. Ian guided my son through numerous past papers, mock tests and longer timed questions, helping him build structure, confidence and calm under exam conditions. Thanks to Ian’s patient and thorough approach, my son completed the syllabus on time and entered his exams feeling well prepared. The results spoke for themselves, with my son reaching a high B / low A grade level in end-of-syllabus mock papers. Ian is polite, punctual, friendly, professional and deeply committed to his students’ success. I recommend him without reservation. We are incredibly grateful to have found him.

my daughter found Ian's tutoring and exam support for A Level Economics very helpful. Ian was great at explaining concepts and increasing her understanding and confidence and provided in-depth feedback in response to practice exam questions.

Our son studied hard but got a grade D in his mock exams in his Edexcel B A level Economics. He only had time to half finish both 20 markers. He really needed help understanding the exam technique and how to approach the question. So I found Ian who had so many positive reviews. Over 6 months he has really helped our son understand the content but also helped him understand how to better answer exam questions in a way which maximise his scores. Our son has recently finished his actual A level Economics exams and he was so much more confident going into the exam and really felt he had done well. Thank you so much Ian!

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. I didn’t think that much progress was possible as my daughter was really struggling and lost interest in the subject. Now it’s given my daughter the confidence to push herself more in this subject. From a parents point of view Ian was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very reliable and understanding and gave me regular detailed feedback on my daughter’s progress. This was comforting to me as a parent and took some stress off me as I felt my daughter was in good hands from the beginning.

We appreciate how Ian is engaged during each lesson with focused and supportive teaching style. His consistency and problem-oriented approach has been very helpful.

Ian has been an incredible tutor. With his investment and organisation, we managed to complete the entire A Level Economics Edexcel (A) course from scratch in just eight months! lan was always prompt, reliable, and his passion and depth of knowledge in economics truly translated into his teaching. He explained complex concepts in a way that was clear and engaging, and always made sure I fully understood before moving on. Our lessons focused on past papers and exam-style questions, which proved invaluable in developing both my confidence and my exam technique. Ian also provided extensive detailed notes to help me develop my understanding. I can't recommend lan highly enough. Without his support, I wouldn't have been able to achieve what I did in such a short time, and I've also developed a genuine appreciation and interest for the subject thanks to him.

We would highly recommend Ian as a tutor for A-level economics. He started tutoring my son last September as my son was struggling with this subject, while doing well in his other 2 A-level subjects. Ian was patient, reliable and helpful, providing great insight into how to tackle the syllabus. Ian was very supportive and adapted his style of tutoring to help my son’s understanding. Despite getting Cs and Ds frequently in class tests, my son achieved an A grade in his A-levell.

Ian helped me to achieve my A in Economics recently. Without his tutoring it would not have been possible. He is an absolutely, brilliant tutor and I am truly grateful for all his encouragement and support.

I can’t recommend this tutor highly enough! Their deep knowledge of A Level Economics, combined with a clear and engaging teaching style, has really helped my son. Ian tailored lessons so where he was struggling with a specific topic or preparing for timed essays and exams, he adapted his approach to help him improve quickly. Thanks to Ian’s support, he went into his exams feeling so much confident and able.

Ian has been a fantastic tutor for my son, who began tutoring in Y13 for A-Level Economics B. He is approachable and very flexible. When requested set work and marked it. Helped with my son’s approach in the analysis and understanding of the themes. Gave tips to answering questions in timed conditions. Would highly recommend.

Ian was a great tutor, very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Always quick to respond to any communication. Would highly recommend!

We made a last-minute decision to find a tutor to help our child iron out any gaps in her A-level Economics knowledge. She wanted to ensure she was approaching exam questions in the right way. Ian was an excellent choice: clear, calm, and highly effective in his teaching. He helped refine her understanding and sharpen her exam technique. We are very pleased with the support he provided and would highly recommend him to others. Thank you, Ian, for all your help.

My son needed some direction on how to structure his essays during exams. Ian went through past questions with him and helped identify gaps and structure. Very helpful. Would definitely recommend

Ian is an excellent tutor and really supported my son with A level Economics and Business. Thank you Ian!

I couldn't recommend Ian more highly, he is a great tutor. My daughter has just finished her first year of A-Level's and Ian has done a fantastics job throughout the year of solidifying her knowledge, helping her understand marking schemes for exam questions and setting her up well for her predicted grade exams. He is calm, reliable and patient. I am sure over the next year, he will do a brilliant job of preparing her for her A-Levels. Thanks Ian.

I would highly recommend Ian. My son found him very helpful and efficient.
