Tutor Profile

Owen

Private Economics Tutor in Worcester

Full time qualified Economics teacher in top boarding school. 1st Class (HONS) Pure Economics degree. Currently teaching AQA and IB syllabus as well as examiner for A level and IB Economics, also with many years experience of tutoring Edexcel and OCR and GCSE specifications.

Head of IB Economics at my current school, AQA Economics examiner (10 years), lead examiner (3 years) and re-marker for 3 years, IB examiner 4 years. Economics tutor for 10 years.

For 2025 final exams, my tutees achieved 90% A*-B for A level Economics and IB Economics average of 6.5, which represents all tutees achieving target or above target grades! (one from D to an A, and 2 going on to study at Cambridge and LSE).

Teaching Experience

I have been a passionate Economist since choosing to take the subject in Sixth Form and continuing into studying straight Economics at University.

After working for 2 years in Financial recruitment, I decided to pursue my passion for Economics through teaching. Completing my post graduate teaching degree, specialising in Economics, I have been working in a leading UK boarding school teaching solely Economics IB and A level to over 120 students each year. I have also been a private tutor for over 8 years, purely through word of mouth, before deciding to register more recently (2020) on a few websites as I was told there was a lack of quality tutors out there.

I thoroughly enjoy instilling a love of Economics in all the students and tutees that I work with, which has been a recognised quality that has seen me promoted to Head of IB economics (in a department of 8 Economics teachers) within a few years.

Tutoring Approach

I am a huge fan of teaching by finding what students and tutees love about their own life experiences. Whether they love sport, shopping, gaming, reading, outdoors or countless other examples - I make it my aim to create a similar feeling towards their study of Economics. I believe that students struggle not because they do not know, but because they have not yet been shown how to love a particular subject.

I have countless testimonials and just one session would hopefully show any tutee (and parents) that my main goal is to support young Economists in their journey to achieving the grade that they are capable of.

Outstanding Tutor Who Delivers Results Owen’s teaching style is both structured and resourceful, which has made a remarkable difference in my son’s learning journey. His approach not only boosted my son’s confidence but also sparked genuine interest in the subject. Owen consistently kept us updated on progress, and we truly appreciated the clear and transparent communication throughout. After a year of tutoring, my son’s A-level grade improved from a C to a solid A—an incredible achievement that speaks volumes about Owen’s dedication and effectiveness. The value we received from his support has been exceptional, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommended!

Tutor response

Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure tutoring Anders and I wish him all the best :)

I discovered Owen only a few months before the exam, but his support has been outstanding. His detailed feedback on my essays greatly improved my self-study of A-Level economics, clearly showing me the exact steps needed to achieve an A* and reach the highest standard.

It was a pleasure - good luck at LSE!

Owen has been an outstanding tutor. Thanks to his clear explanations, encouragement, and consistent support, our daughter went from being a middling economics student to achieving an A* at A level. We’re incredibly grateful for the role he played in that journey.
