Sometimes, both economics and maths can be the most frustrating thing (or things if you take both!)in the world - especially when its complicated or not being communicated clearly. To that end I firmly believe that learning maths in a calm and understanding environment is one of the key factors in achieving success in that (or in any!) subject.

This is what I look to achieve. I do this by working through simple yet illustrative example problems and trying to instil an intuition for the problem that makes both the method of getting their and the resulting memorisation of the method much, much easier - and significantly less stressful.
As a recent student myself I also realise that going through a few example problems before being thrown into the deep-end (so to speak) simply isn't enough, and so much of my tutoring is focused around joint problem solving until the student feels comfortable enough to tackle maths with minimal support.

Whilst I am fairly new to formal tutoring, I have been acting as an informal tutor to my younger sister (who HATED maths) for years and with good success as well as recently achieving a 9 (at GCSE) and an A* (at A-level) for mathematics myself - and continuing this mathematical success at university as well (admittedly not a maths degree but a 1st class economics BSc degree nonetheless).
