Santhous

Private Maths and Economics Tutor in Harrow

Hello, I'm Santhous, an experienced tutor specialising in Economics, Mathematics and German. I hold a BSc in Economics, Mathematics and Statistics from Queen Mary University of London and have accumulated over 15,000 hours of tutoring experience, teaching students from primary school through to undergraduate university level.

Having grown up in Germany before continuing my education in the UK, I understand both international and British education systems. I work with students studying GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, Swiss Matura and university programmes, adapting every lesson to their individual syllabus and learning style.

I enjoy teaching because I genuinely like seeing students develop confidence in subjects they once found difficult. Whether you're aiming to pass an exam, achieve the highest grades or simply understand your course better, my goal is to make complex concepts clear, logical and approachable.

Teaching Experience

Over the past several years I have taught thousands of hours across Economics, Mathematics and German, supporting students studying GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB Diploma, undergraduate degrees and professional qualifications.

In Economics I teach both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, together with Business Economics, Econometrics and quantitative methods. I regularly support university students with coursework, dissertations, resits and exam preparation.

My Mathematics teaching ranges from school mathematics through to university Business Mathematics, Statistics, Financial Mathematics and Calculus. I also work with students studying accounting and finance-related modules where mathematical reasoning plays a significant role.

As a native German speaker, I teach grammar, speaking, writing, reading comprehension and exam preparation for both school and adult learners.

Before beginning with any university student, I spend dedicated preparation time reviewing lecture notes, tutorial sheets, past papers and module specifications. Every university and lecturer assesses differently, so tailoring lessons beforehand allows me to provide far more focused and effective support than a generic tutoring approach.

Tutoring Approach

I believe students learn best when they understand why something works, rather than memorising methods without context. My lessons therefore focus on building genuine understanding first, followed by extensive application through guided examples and exam-style questions.

Every student receives a personalised learning plan based on their goals, current level and assessment requirements. I begin by identifying knowledge gaps before designing lessons that systematically build confidence and accuracy.

For examination students, I place significant emphasis on exam technique, common mistakes and efficient problem-solving. For university students, lessons are tailored closely to the structure of their module and lecturer's expectations.

I teach online using Google Meet together with an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and GoodNotes, allowing every solution, diagram and explanation to be written live during the lesson. Students can ask questions throughout the session, creating an interactive learning environment that is both engaging and highly effective.

Above all, my aim is to develop independent learners who leave each lesson with a deeper understanding, greater confidence and the ability to solve problems on their own.

I would highly recommend Santhous as an economics tutor. He has great knowledge of the subject and a real passion for economics, which comes across in his teaching. He explains complex concepts in a clear and simple way, making them much easier to understand. His lessons are well organised and focused on my son’s main areas for improvement, especially exam technique. With his patient and supportive approach, he has helped my son build stronger analytical and time management skills, giving him confidence to perform well in exams.

Tutor response

Thank you kindly for the review. Your son is keen and willing to learn and improve. He possess over great knowledge and required some guidance and tips to help him understand the techniques for a well written essay. I look forward to helping him further excel his essay writing skills, so he can earn himself the grade he is capable of achieving.

Santhous has been a great maths tutor for Seb. He’s patient, clear, and explains things in a way that really clicks. Seb feels comfortable asking questions and has grown in confidence. We’d happily recommend him.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback. Seb is very engaged and keen to overcome tough mathematical questions and has a high aptitude to pick up the theory Ken a quick way. It’s great fun teaching him. I look forward to his progress.

I’d happily recommend him as an A-level maths tutor. My son had been feeling quite insecure about maths, but since working with him he has made clear progress, caught up on gaps in his understanding, and, most importantly, gained a great deal of confidence. He has a very calm, patient and kind manner, and is always willing to explain ideas as many times as needed until they really stick. He also uses an excellent online system where my son can share his work in advance and then go through it carefully each week, which has been hugely helpful. Overall, it has been a thoroughly positive experience and we’ve seen a real improvement both academically and in my son’s attitude to maths.

Tutor response

Thanks for sharing the feedback. The student has been keen to learn and improve his understanding in core maths. We cover the theory from scratch and tackle questions related to the topic, the homework I provide are completed with confidence and with 95% correctness. He shows constant improvement and aptitude to learn harder questions at a fast rate. It's a joy teaching him and looking forward to continue to support his studies.

Very good and detailed teaching and explanation. Goes in depth and shows a clear picture of the subject. Allows students like me, who is working on a lower grade, to develop better understanding of A level Economics.

Tutor response

The student showed tremendous growth in understanding the thematic and ensured he studied outside of the class the material that was taught. He came prepared and showed willingness to learn by asking questions to understand the content better.

Santhous is an amazing tutor. My son had few lessons with Santhous. He explains the topic thoroughly first and does exam style questions . My son has progressed in Economics since he started taking lessons from Santhous. I would recommend him for economics.

Tutor response

The student is very keen to learn Economics and its great fun teaching him. He engages with the classes and asks question to further his understanding. He requests for homework to make sure he can prepare to his best.
