My Economics Expertise: Comprehensive and Unmatched
As a Cambridge-educated tutor with a PhD, and an alumna of St. Paul’s Girls’ School, my academic journey began with achieving 100% in A-Level Economics. This foundation has informed my teaching ever since, enabling me to develop strategies that consistently deliver top results for my students.
I specialise in all major exam boards, including:
- AQA
- Edexcel
- OCR
- WJEC
- International A-Level (IAL)
With years of experience, I’ve helped students improve rapidly, particularly after mock exams, using targeted strategies and structured feedback. My focus isn’t just on raising grades—it’s about helping students develop a deep understanding of Economics that sets them apart.
