Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Over the past four years, I’ve taught A-Level Economics in two secondary schools, spending two of those years as Head of Economics. My lessons consistently earned 'Outstanding' ratings, and I helped students exceed their target grades. As a tutor, I’ve supported Key Stage 5 students in mastering A-Level Economics, honing their essay skills, and preparing for university admissions and interviews. My examiner experience adds value by refining exam strategies and fostering a deeper understanding of economic theory.

Tutoring Approach

I prioritise a tailored approach to A-Level Economics, recognising that each student learns differently. My lessons are structured to build strong foundational knowledge, enhance analytical skills, and develop essay writing and critical thinking. I incorporate exam-style questions, progress tracking, and interactive discussions to ensure students achieve their full potential. Sessions are flexible, adapting to individual goals and learning styles.

Testimonials

"Sam really helped my son understand what he needed to do to focus on and improve. He built up a good rapport and was methodical in terms of strengthening any areas of weakness. Thank you Sam!"

Robert, previous student

"Sam has been tutoring my year 13 son in A’level economics. He has explained all the topics clearly and has really helped him with his exam planning. He is now much more confident with a clearer understanding of this subject. I highly recommend this tutor"

Camillia, parent of previous student in A Level Economics

My daughter is studying for A level in Economics. She finds her lessons with Sam very helpful as he has an easy to understand way of explaining things. Sam is very reliable as well, and I would definitely recommend him as a great teacher.
