I’ve taught IGCSE Economics for six years, after starting my career in financial services. I particularly enjoy microeconomics because everyday examples make ideas like opportunity cost, competition and market failure much easier to grasp. In lessons, I spend a lot of time showing students how to apply theory to a case study and develop an answer beyond a simple definition.

Hi! I’ve been tutoring IGCSE Economics for around four years and still enjoy the moment when supply and demand finally starts making sense to someone. My sessions are quite conversational. We might use supermarket prices, interest rates or something from the news to explore a topic before trying exam questions. I’m especially keen on helping students explain their reasoning rather than memorise model answers.

Before becoming a private tutor, I worked as an Economics teacher in secondary education for nearly a decade. I now specialise in IGCSE Economics, with much of my work centred on exam preparation. Students often know the content but struggle to develop analysis. I teach them to follow an economic change through each stage of an argument and then apply it precisely to the information given in the question.

My background is in economic research, but I discovered tutoring while studying and have continued with it ever since. I work with IGCSE Economics students on topics ranging from elasticity to international trade. Graphs are probably my favourite thing to teach. I like getting students to draw them from scratch and explain every movement aloud, because it quickly shows whether the economics underneath is properly understood.

I’ve spent five years tutoring IGCSE Economics, mostly with students who need some extra help turning short ideas into complete exam answers. Rather than giving them a paragraph to copy, I ask questions until they can build the chain of reasoning themselves. Macroeconomics is my favourite part of the course, particularly inflation, unemployment and government policy, as there are always useful real examples to discuss.

Economics made much more sense to me once I stopped treating it as a collection of diagrams and started connecting it with decisions people actually make. That’s the approach I use with my IGCSE students. I’ve tutored for three years and usually mix explanation with short calculations, diagrams and past-paper questions. Exchange rates and international trade are topics I particularly enjoy working through.
