With a 2:1 degree in Economics from Reading (2009) and an Enhanced DBS carried out in October 2024 I have been tutoring for over 12 years. Initially starting out with just one student I have gone on to teach over 70+ students (from multiple websites) across the Reading, Wokingham and Maidenhead areas all of whom have achieved their goals and realised their potential.
Tutoring Experience
Unlike other tutors I specialise solely in the subject I am qualified in and so only offer Economics tuition. The advantage of this means I'm up to date with the latest areas and syllabus requirements and you know you’re getting an expert rather than jack of all. I have taught students across Edexcel, OCR & AQA and had very good success with my students as my feedback shows.
Students come to me with different needs that range from:
- Wanting to gain those extra few marks to reach a top grade
- Struggling with the basic concepts and needing intensive support
- Generally a good understanding but wanting to brush up on a few areas
- Understanding the topics but struggling with exam technique
- Lacking confidence or facing exam re-sits
Whatever the goal I've never met someone I've not been able to help improve.
Tutoring Approach
I believe it is important to get to know the student first and build a rapport.
Lessons are guided by the students and can cover whatever topics they need help on. Unlike school there is now fixed agenda and we can jump about and cover any topic and as exams get closer, past papers are a valuable area to focus on. I am flexible on times and can always fit in a last-minute lesson.
I try to avoid a teacher-student relationship but instead, encourage students to think of me as a peer so they are comfortable asking whatever questions they have.
