Andrew

With a 2:1 degree in Economics from Reading (2009) I have been tutoring for over 10 years now. Having started with just one student I have gone on to teach over 50 students (from multiple websites) across the Reading, Marlow, Wokingham and Maidenhead areas.

Unlike other tutors I only specialise in the subject I am qualified in and so only offer Economics tuition, meaning I`m up to date with the latest areas and syllabus requirements. I have taught students across Edexcel, OCR & AQA and had very good success with my students as my feedback shows.

Students come to me with different needs that range from:

  • Wanting to gain those extra few marks to reach a top grade
  • Struggling with the basic concepts and needing intensive support
  • Generally a good understanding but wanting to brush on a few areas
  • Understanding the topics but struggling with exam technique
  • Lacking confidence of facing exam re-sits

Whatever the goal Ive never met someone who I havent been able to help improve.

Teaching Experience

I've been teaching Economics for over ten years, working with students at every stage of their journey, from navigating their first GCSE papers to tackling university-level theory. Whether you're finding the subject daunting or simply want to push for the best possible grade, I'll meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.

Over the years, I've worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds and learning styles, so I'm used to adapting how I explain things until they genuinely click. Sessions are focused but relaxed, and I always make time to answer every question, no matter how basic it might feel.

Tutoring Approach

I believe it is Important to get to know the student first and build a rapport.

Lessons are guided by the student and can cover whichever topics they need help with. The lessons are not like school, where there is a fixed agenda; we can jump about and cover any topic, and as exams get closer, past papers are a valuable area to focus on. I am flexible on times and can always fit in a last-minute lesson.

I try to avoid a teacher-student relationship, but instead encourage students to think of me as a peer so they are comfortable asking whatever questions they have.

Experienced with a range of ages and abilities, I have been tutoring Economics across AQA, OCR and Edexcel exam boards for over two years.

For me there is no difference between online and in-person; in a 1:1 setting, the experience is identical and more importantly, the student finds it just as effective.

All of my students have gone on to exceed their predicted grades.
