Oxford winner of 3 prizes in economics (Calvin Cheng prize) | PPE Oxford First | Highest mark at Oxford in game theory. The A* was the most common grade for my A-Level economics students in 2025 (10 students secured A*/A grades in 2025); started the Cambridge MPhil in Economic Research.

Availability: (updated 26.11.2025)
I only have Saturday 2pm-5pm and Thursday 5-6pm available evenings/weekend weekly (+free periods before school in the daytime/morning which most sixth form students have!), with 9 new students booking regular weekly slots very recently. Contact me today to get your slot! I have students from China and the Middle East right now, who can make afternoon/morning times, so my availability is particularly good for students from times zones that want UK morning times. Boarding school students who have free periods in the daytime when they can have lessons should also definitely get in contact because we are likely to be able to find a mutual slot. If you finish early (before 4pm), that currently works on Tuesday and Monday. I can take on home schooling A-Level economics students as well who would like daytime slots, where I have a lot of specific experience delivering and supporting the whole course as well.

My A-Level economics students' achievements:

1. The A* was the most common grade for my A-Level economics students in 2025 (10 students secured A*/A grades in 2025), similarly to 2024.

2. My economics students attained places at top institutions for economics degrees, such as Oxford, LSE, UCLA (in Los Angeles), UCL and Bocconi (4th in Europe).

3. Economics A-Level lessons delivered up to a 5 grade boost to students in six months.

4. 7 of my Edexcel economics A-Level students secured the A* in the 2024 and 2025 exams. Economics A-Level lessons delivered up to a 5 grade boost to students in six months.

5. Several of my students have climbed from D to A in A-Level economics through lessons with me.

6. Several of my AS economics students scored over 90% in microeconomics (10% above the A* boundary of 80%) in their mocks, securing A* predicted grades.

Economics A-Level specialism:
I have specialized in economics A-Level as my professional focus, where I scored a First at Oxford University in economics, with three prizes in economics (including the Calvin Cheng prize); I have experience teaching a huge number of students (120+ 1to1 economics A-Level students). I offer bespoke tailored lessons on exactly what students need to unlock their potential and get the highest possible A-Level economics grade. The A* was the most common grade achieved by my A-Level economics students in 2024 and 2025; 82% of my Edexcel economics A-Level students got A/A* results in the 2024 and 2025 exams. In the 2024-25 exams, 9 of my A-Level economics students secured the A* grade and 16 students secured A*/A grades. 7 of my Edexcel economics A-Level students secured the A* in the 2024-25 exams, with the A* as the most common result

I cover in lessons all the analysis, evaluation and application in depth needed to score a top grade in A-Level economics through optimising students’ results, learning and exam technique. I dedicate myself to offering the best possible A-Level economics tutoring, through studying, preparing resources and reading many A-Level economics textbooks (I have read at least 5 extra A-Level economics textbooks to plan lessons), markschemes and past papers: I have carefully planned the most useful material for students, read textbooks and selected past paper questions from well over 1000 pages of the best, most useful, material for A-Level economics students. I have also researched, prepared and had training from an international tutoring school (Akademeia Tutorial College) I worked full time on for optimal exam technique for students for all major exam boards in A-Level economics. For every lesson, I provide thorough coverage of the most exam focused material students need and provide homework with extensive past paper practice organised by topic to ensure students learn how to apply their knowledge to the exam.

Studying economics at Oxford for my undergraduate and at Cambridge on the master’s course I read many thousands of pages of economic theory, which means I can add depth, detail and context to the entire A-Level syllabus as well. Evaluation is worth up to 28% of marks and is crucial to score well for all exam boards on the mark scheme (AQA/Edexcel/OCR/Edequas/CAIE). I offer detailed evaluation points in lessons that I have carefully prepared for students because it is weighted so highly on the markscheme for A-Level economics. My students have exceptional performance consequently. I can make sure students know exactly what they are doing in the exam to maximize their mark in 25 marker questions. I tutored A-Level economics heavily in an international tutoring school Akademeia Tutorial College, where I worked full time as a professional tutor for international students targeting UK universities for economics (helping students with the economics applications for LSE and UCL).

Economics Oxbridge Admissions:
I can help with the TSA, college choice, extra reading, personal statements and interviews. Several former students have attained places at Oxford University for economics (PPE and E&M); I helped a student go from the 30th percentile to the top percentile (1/100) in the TSA, which secured them a place at Oxford University (Lady Margaret Hall) for Economics and Management. I helped international students optimise their interview performance, such that they won admission for PPE Oxford. I have an extensive catalogue of past interview questions for PPE Oxford (90 pages of interview questions), with particular expertise in helping students with game theory past interview questions commonly asked in microeconomics interviews (I scored the best mark in the year at Oxford in game theory) at Oxford. I can help students optimise their preparation by selecting interview questions asked previously at the exact college they are applying for, providing the First class ideas and insights that worked well for me in the Oxford University exams to help me secure 3 prizes.

I won three prizes in economics at Oxford University:
1. Calvin Cheng Prize in Economics from Hertford College Oxford University
2. Outstanding performance in Economics from Hertford College Oxford University
3. Joint best performance in PPE from Hertford College Oxford

My Qualifications:

1. University of Oxford: BA (First Class Hons) PPE 2018-21 - top in the year in game theory at Oxford University; ranked 18/229 (top 8%) amongst the PPE cohort at Oxford University, scoring two excellent firsts and four First Class economics exams at Oxford University.

2. A-Levels: A*AAA Maths, Further Maths, Government and Politics and History
   -94% average in 5 AS levels, including Philosophy AS. I scored 100% in politics AS.

3. 10A*s at GCSE with an A in additional maths (the top grade). RGS Guildford.

Tutoring Experience

Having taught over 120 1to1 A-Level economics students, I have encountered every type of issue students face with A-Level economics, which puts me in a strong position to remediate and solve these issues for students. I am completely dedicated to clarifying for students their specific areas to improve, as well as employing all the innovative tools, bespoke resources and past paper practice to give detailed guidance for students to raise their grade. Since I focus professionally on tutoring economics A-Level, I can offer an unparalleled tutoring experience in this area. In the academic year 2024-25, I taught regularly 70hrs a week (particularly in the Easter run up to the exam) to help students revise for their A-Level economics exams all the time. I have now taught 120 1to1 A-Level economics students, having been a tutor since 2017, with 8 years’ tutoring experience. I have delivered over 7000hrs of professional 1to1 tutoring lessons. I have full time experience tutoring at an international tutoring school Akademeia Tutorial College, where I focused on economics A-Level to help international students applying for UK universities. I tutored with all the top London tutoring agencies as well for A-Level economics as well, but now prefer to build personal direct relationships with parents, so I can tailor the best tutoring experience for my students. I am a professional full time A-Level economics tutor, who is completely dedicated to expanding, codifying and establishing best practice in the field of tutoring economics A-Level. I am optimizing every aspect of tutoring to deliver the best results for students: from compiling model answers (to target chains of reasoning for analysis, evaluation and application), researching exam technique advice for every question type, organizing past papers by topic and designing detailed past paper and diagram tests to help uncover and resolve students’ specific weaknesses. I also have integrated voice dictation and AI into lesson planning to help plan every minute of each tutoring session, to cover greater ground and achieve faster results for students in tutoring sessions.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is always adjustable, bespoke, and tailored to the specific issues students face to help them overcome their challenges and reach the highest grade in A-level economics. As a professional economics tutor, I always start with a thorough assessment (from talking to students, reading their marked work from school, their homework and through exam practice out loud in lessons) of the precise issues students need help with in their economics studies. From tutoring over 120 1to1 students, I have developed a detailed typology of specific issues students frequently face, which I can quickly identify and remediate to generate the biggest possible value added for students in the shortest possible time. Given the vast amount of preparation I have done for A-level economics and the huge experience I have with helping students optimize their score, I can quickly zero in on exactly what students need to elevate their grade the most, whether that be diagrams, evaluation, understanding the requirements of the exam, applying knowledge to the right exam topic (question type) or exam technique (knowing what is on the markscheme and ensuring every point is ticked off from it).

I start with an initial phone call where I talk to the parent or student for free, just to plan the first lesson, where I ask students exactly what problems they face and ask students what they feel they need the most help with. That phone call often gives a good measure of the topics, exam technique issues and issues relating to students applying their knowledge to the exam that I will focus on to meet their specific needs.

In lessons, I ask questions from the most common potential essay past paper questions, to give a quick indicator and sense for me of whether students know the underlying topic from the exam essay question, whether they know the diagram underlying that topic, whether they know how to apply the relevant material in the exam to this specific question and whether students can identify what is relevant to this specific exam question. I will ask students exam questions involving taxation, externalities and subsidies for example to see if the student can plan their answer competently. I will ask students past paper questions on the topic of supply side, fiscal policy and monetary policy to gauge quickly if students know what the exam requirements are and whether they can deliver the correct theory specific to that exam question type; often these types of questions reveal exactly what students need to unblock them and get the best result from their school studies. I then teach students from the exemplar material I have prepared exactly what they need to do to elevate their answer the most compared to what they said. I then always ask students to explain back to me what they learned from my explanation to have another go at the exam question we are doing to help solidify their knowledge.

Once I've understood the exact problems that students face from reviewing their written work from school, from talking to them on the phone, and from gathering data from the answers students give to the questions I give them, I generate a clear learning path for the student that will help them to fix their problems and overcome any issues that exist in their A-level Economics studies.
As a professional economics tutor, I have detailed three common specific issues students face, where I have developed bespoke solutions to unblock students in A-Level economics so they can get the best possible result in their studies. This reading is optional, but it's there for parents or students who are interested in my approach in much greater detail. I took the time to write down how I categorize the problems that students face, and then the specific bespoke solutions that I come up with for students. In each case, my experience says that lots of students' problems fit into one of the below three categories, which is either a knowledge problem, a problem with applying knowledge to exams or a problem with exam technique. Most of the time, students have problems with both knowledge and with applying their knowledge in the exam, although I would always be very sensitive to the exact issue students face and then generate bespoke, topic-based solutions to every problem that students face. Students can have knowledge issues and issues with applying their knowledge to the exam. I have developed a past paper database for all exam boards to help students apply their knowledge to hit the markscheme and to help them practice what question they are answering in the exam such that students never go off topic. I developed these revision techniques from my time winning three prizes at Oxford in economics and believe they transfer to A-Level very well. I also, for every lesson, write a very thorough, detailed lesson plan which takes into account all the issues that I notice students struggling with, such that minute by minute, we can work as efficiently as possible on solving any problems that students face in lessons (with every part of the lessons thoroughly scheduled to maximise efficiency). I am tremendously dedicated to student success.
