Every lesson starts with figuring out where you're at — not just what topic we're covering, but how you learn best and where your specific gaps are. I don't run a one-size-fits-all script; over six years of tutoring GCSE and A-level Economics and Business Studies, I've learned that two students struggling with the same topic often need completely different explanations to get there.

We'll work through core concepts clearly and methodically, but I won't stop at "here's the theory." Because I work full-time as a government economist, which has included building the economic model behind the UK furlough scheme and working on international trade negotiations — I bring genuine, current real-world examples into every session. When we cover market structures, elasticity, or fiscal policy, you're not just memorising definitions; you're seeing how these concepts actually shape decisions that affect millions of people.

Exam technique gets equal attention alongside understanding. I'm familiar with the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR specifications, and I'll show you exactly how to structure data-response answers and extended essays to hit the mark scheme, not just demonstrate knowledge in the abstract.

Sessions are relaxed but focused — I want you comfortable asking questions, including the ones that feel "obvious," because those are usually the ones worth asking. Progress is the goal, not just completing a syllabus, and I track how you're doing so we can adjust the pace and focus as we go.
