Conor

Hello, I'm Conor. I am a full-time teacher of Mathematics and Economics at an OFSTED Outstanding secondary school in South London, where I have been recognised as an Outstanding teacher. I currently lead the Business and Economics department and oversee Economics across 20 schools within our trust, helping to shape the education of over 1,000 students.

I graduated from the University of Exeter with a degree in Economics and Finance before completing a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. Prior to teaching, I worked in investment banking and corporate finance, giving me valuable real-world experience that I bring into my lessons. I achieved A* grades in both Economics and Business at A Level and have now spent over a decade helping students achieve their academic goals through tutoring.

Whether you're looking for support with GCSE or A-Level Maths, Economics or Business, my aim is simple: to build confidence, develop understanding and help students achieve the very best grades they are capable of.

Teaching Experience

I have over ten years of tutoring experience alongside my classroom teaching career, working with students of all abilities from those needing to build confidence through to those aiming for the highest grades. As a Head of Department and Trust-wide Economics Lead, I spend every day thinking about how students learn most effectively and how to help them achieve excellent outcomes.

Many of my students go on to exceed their predicted grades, with improvements of two grades being common. I have helped students move from E grades to A grades, and from struggling with core concepts to becoming confident and independent learners. My experience as a classroom teacher allows me to quickly identify misconceptions and target the areas that will make the biggest difference to progress.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring style is calm, supportive and highly focused on results. I believe students perform best when they genuinely understand a topic rather than simply memorising methods. One of the most rewarding things I hear is, "It finally makes sense now!" and helping students reach those lightbulb moments is something I genuinely enjoy.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual student. Some need support filling knowledge gaps, whilst others need help refining exam technique and maximising marks. Alongside building subject knowledge, I place a strong emphasis on exam skills, confidence and applying learning to real-world situations, helping students not only improve their grades but also develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

Conor was an excellent tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with A-Level Economics. His tuition helped her progress from a C to an A by the end of Year 13, despite significant barriers to her learning. I would highly recommend Conor as an Economics tutor.

ArnaudFirst Tutors

Conor has tutored my daughter for her A-Level in Economics as she retook the exams this year. He has been amazing through the entire process and has really helped her improved her abilities in a short period of time. She started with a C grade and ended with a B, just one point below an A grade. We are very grateful for his excellent support. Highly recommended!

DanielFirst Tutors

I have had Conor tutor me for my GCSE Maths and, more recently, AS Economics. I can say that I wouldn’t have been able to pass Maths without him. The transition to help me during Year 12 for Economics to online rather than face to face tuition has worked very well. Thanks so much, Conor!

MeganFirst Tutors

Conor recently began tutoring my daughter Matilda in Economics. She was lacking in confidence with some key microeconomic concepts but his friendly, calm and encouraging approach has really helped her to improve. He has been a very adaptable tutor during the pandemic and worked to accommodate Matilda's sessions online and the quality of his sessions remains outstanding despite these changes. Conor's professionalism and commitment in seeing his pupils succeed is second to none and Matilda looks forward to the sessions every week. Strongly recommend!

GarethFirst Tutors

Conor is an excellent tutor and has tutored my daughter for the past 12 months. He has a caring, thoughtful approach combined with a strong ability to convey key ideas exceptionally well. I cannot recommend him more highly. He is extremely professional and an outstanding tutor.

ADAMFirst Tutors

Would highly recommend Conor as a tutor. Conor has been extremely helpful for my son Benji and he has helped him come on leaps and bounds with Economics. My son was struggling in particular with microeconomics. Conor was very quick at getting back to us, and Benji was making immediate improvements in his understanding and helped him go up several grade boundaries. He has been very flexible given the current situation going on in the world with the pandemic, moving to online tutoring which has helped take a weight off my mind.

RhonaFirst Tutors

We were very pleased with the work Conor did tutoring our son in Maths. He achieved a Level 6 in his GCSE despite having a borderline pass mark in his PPE. Conor was well liked by our son and he actively enjoyed his lessons with him!

SoniaFirst Tutors

Conor has been teaching my son all term and I cannot rate him highly enough. He has given my son confidence in maths and made him realise he is not a failure. Conor is always punctual and is very reliable. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

HelenaFirst Tutors

Conor is a fantastic, articulate and well presented individual. He arrived promptly to tutor my sister and she found him to be very engaging and knowledgeable. He has since proved his worth; making a marked improvement in her work. She was originally predicted a 3, and is now averaging a 7. I could not recommend Conor's services highly enough - Thanks so much, Conor!

JessieFirst Tutors

Conor is doing a great job with my 11yr old son, helping him gain confidence generally with his maths and helping him specifically with improving his numeracy and mental maths, which he has been struggling with at school. Conor is a pleasure to have as a teacher; he is calm, positive, friendly and knowledgeable. He makes maths fun and interesting for my son. Thanks Conor!

GangadeviFirst Tutors

He is always punctual and reliable. So far, he has tutored very well. According to me, he is a excellent tutor and also well-respected. I think he is exceptional when it comes down to communicating with me and giving great feedback on my child's work. Overall, he is an amazing teacher and I would recommend him to many people if I could.

GillianFirst Tutors

Connor has been amazing, he is really friendly and very easy to get along with alongside has firm aspect when it comes to work which makes you want to learn from him. He clearly knows his stuff when it comes to economics and teaches clearly and to the point when explaining something problematic. Connor has been a great help in instructing me in essay technique as well as application of my knowledge, including real world examples and graphical illustrations. In such a short time frame, Connor has helped me to build both my confidence and my skill in economics and I could not have done it without him. Really commendable and I would recommend him to any and all seeking a tutor. Nick

Connor was very helpful to me during the time worked together. His knowledge on the subject and his ability to teach were both good. I would definitely recommend his services.

Thanks Callum. Very pleasing to note you went from around 70% to 98% in your Microeconomics A2. Hope you're having a great time at University and wish you every success in the future.
