I am an experienced teacher of Economics and Business with over 20 years’ experience teaching GCSE and A Level students. I graduated from The University of Manchester with a degree in Economics & Social Studies. Prior to moving into teaching in 2006, I built extensive experience within the financial services sector and became an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute. Having recently retired from a long and rewarding career as a senior leader at a leading independent school in the North West, I now offer one-to-one tuition (online or in person) and small-group online sessions for GCSE and A Level Economics and Business students.

Alongside over 20 years of classroom teaching, I have worked as an examiner for both the AQA and OCR exam boards, giving me a detailed understanding of exam requirements, mark schemes and what examiners are looking for in high-level responses. I have tutored pupils following a variety of exam boards including AQA, OCR, WJEC, Edexcel and Pearson (IAL) International A level. In addition to Economics and Business, I have also taught Study Skills, General Studies, EPQ and HPQ.

My approach focuses on developing a strong understanding of core economic and business concepts, while helping students apply theory effectively to real-world and exam contexts. I place particular emphasis on the analytical and evaluative skills needed to achieve the highest grades. Lessons are interactive, supportive and carefully tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals. In addition to standard tuition sessions, I also offer the option to submit practice essays and past papers and receive individual in-depth feedback. This includes guidance on exam technique, structure, analysis and evaluation, enabling students to understand exactly how to improve their performance — with a level of personalised feedback that is often difficult to achieve in large school and college classes.
