PGCE Qualified Tutor | BA Economics

I tutor A-Level Economics and am a qualified teacher with an Economics degree and a PGCE. My focus is on knowing the content well enough to use it in an exam, whether that involves explaining a diagram or developing an argument. I help students work towards their target grades, with attention to the parts of the course they find difficult and the demands of longer answers.

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

I have taught Economics in a school and planned and delivered tuition both one-to-one and in groups of three. I've supported students with different levels of subject knowledge, helping them prepare for their final exams and the move to university. My recent work has included guiding a group through their A-Levels, from working on the course content to preparing for the exam papers. Across these settings, I've helped students improve their understanding and refine their exam technique.

Tutoring Approach

Knowing a definition is a starting point; the next step is being able to use it. We can take an exam question and work out which ideas are relevant, how they connect and what evidence would support your answer. For longer responses, we'll practise following an argument through and weighing up its limitations. If the theory is unclear, we'll revisit it before adding more detail. You'll have opportunities to write answers on your own, then discuss how to make your reasoning more precise.

Sam has been amazing with my son covering A-level economics. He easily pushed him up a grade or may be two! Massive thanks and can't recommend him enough!

Sam is an excellent tutor and has helped my daughter tremendously. He is not only a great educator but also an inspiration to his students.

Parent of A-Level Student

Sam made a great contribution to preparing our son for A-Level exams. He was very professional at all times, punctual and provided regular updates on progress. I would recommend Sam for all tutoring sessions.

Parent of A-Level Student

Sam has been fantastic with my son with his year 12 Economics. His grades have gone up since being tutored by Sam and my son's teacher has noticed a significant difference. My son says Sam explains things very well, boosts his confidence and keeps the lesson flowing. If my son made a mistake Sam never made him feel bad but just quickly got him back on track.
