Ian's Feedback

Very understanding and his approach is tailor-made for the pupil. I will definitely recommend him as he definitely gave encouragement to my son last year, and my son is now at at UNI.

THANKS
IAN

A positive start. Thank you.

Ian was very happy to discuss my daughter’s re-takes and cam across as professional, caring and highly motivation. He was exceptionally easy to communicate with. Purely due to logistics we sent with another tutor but I am very confident Ian would have been a brilliant tutor for my daughter.

Excellent tutor for A Level Economics. My sons grades improved hugely after weekly tutoring by Ian and he an achieved the grades needed for Uni.

Ian’s skill is explaining topics in a way teenagers get, he brings the subject alive and makes it relevant.

So far my son in y13 is enjoying the tuition with Ian, he said it's helping him a lot with understanding and looking at questions. I think it's helping him to be more positive about improving his grades.

Thoroughly enjoying being helped and tutored by Ian so far. He explains everything fully and helps me to slow down and assess the question properly.

My son needed extra help with economics A level. Ian was an excellent tutor who has the ability to explain concepts and use different approaches to ensure a full understanding of the subject. He went above and beyond expectations in helping with the content and providing advice on answering exam questions. I would definitely recommend Ian as he helped my son achieve the grade he required. Thank you Ian.

My son had Ian as his business tutor from October of upper 6th. From the start, Ian was encouraging and inspiring. My son very much enjoyed his sessions. He felt stretched but not overwhelmed. Ian set homework and went through the answers with emphasis on how to improve. A lot of focus was spent on introducing other relevent business topics into answers to demonstrate further understanding of the question. Ian was reliable and always on time. Sessions were booked in advance and he was flexible when needed and had extra lessons before mock and the A-levels. I am positive, my son got an extra grade and perhaps two, with Ian's support. And he was so inspired with Business that he chose and got Business and Business Management at university. We are very grateful to Ian for all his hard work and I would absolutely recommend him especially for students that lack confidence in the subject.

My son found his sessions with Ian very useful and his confidence in Economics grew in time for his A levels.
Ian is very professional and understood where my son needed more support. I would highly recommend Ian and thank him for all his help

Ian tutored my son in A’Level Economics. He had a lot of gaps due to the Economics teaching at his school.
Ian was great at covering all the content, going through exam questions and generally building my sons knowledge and confidence. He went into the exams feeling well prepared and felt confident answering the questions that were in the exam. I would definitely recommend Ian.

Ian had been tutoring my daughter for A level Economics since the beginning of this year. He has been a really excellent teacher, very flexible with timings and answering all of my daughter's questions. He also did many past paper questions with her that made her feel more confident going into her exams. I would really recommend Ian, he is a very kind teacher with an excellent understanding of the A level specification.

My Son took Economics lessons with Ian in last few months prior to his A-level Exams, with clear emphasis on achieving A* grade with baseline of A in mocks. Ian focussed on the areas which were complex walking my son through exam style questions helping him formulate and express his answers.
He was flexible to move around my sons schedule on few occasions.
Overall my son found Ian to be deligent tutor who has helped him to acclerate his preparation of Economics exams.
My son remarked that he should have started tutions a bit earlier as he found Ian's style of teaching very engaging.
I would recommend Ian to anyone studying A level Economics exams.

Great teacher helped me understand how to approach questions a lot better and built my confidence up tackling a range of different questions. Would definitely recommend!

Ian is hands down the best economics tutor I've ever had. In about 3-4 months of doing one economics B paper every week and discussing it afterwards with Ian, I went from averaging 50-60%, to consistently getting 75-80%. I am extremely greatful for all the work Ian has done, and I am looking forward to receiving my A* in August :)

Ian tutored my son for A levels. We were thoroughly impressed with his teaching. Highly recommended.

Ian is great and has been helping my son immensely.

Ian is a great tutor, we are very happy to find him!

I came back to first tutor following a negative experience with another tutor site and started with Ian shortly after. My son was struggling with his A level economics and we were worried he would not achieve his true potential in his A-level within the last few remaining months. He was bored and discouraged front the subject until we connected with Ian, and Ian managed to work wonders. My son found Ian’s coaching very effective and thanks to their hard work together my son achieved an A in the subject and now taking more economics in his first choice university in the USA. I would like to thank Ian for his hard work and dedication, and truly bringing out my son’s full potential.

We have now used Ian for three of our daughters’ A levels (Economics, Economics and Business). They got 2A*s and an A. We are really pleased and grateful for Ian’s support and expertise. He is a wonderful teacher. He explains issues very well and clearly and the technology all works as well. We are very grateful and would recommend Ian completely.

I cannot recommend Ian highly enough for A level Economics. My son was in the unfortunate year that were disrupted by Covid from the second half of year 11 and through most of year 12. He was struggling with some of the course content, exam technique and confidence when he started with Ian in January of year 13. With weekly sessions with Ian, he went from an E in his mocks to a high B in his summer exam. My son found Ian's approach and methods easy to grasp and he enjoyed the sessions. Ian was helpful and flexible in fitting in extra sessions in the final few weeks and a warm up session on the day of each exam. Don't hesitate to use him.

Our daughter has just achieved a B at A level in Business and it is largely down to the tuition she received from Ian . She struggled with this subject throughout the two years but Ian was able to help her understand what was needed and how she should approach the exams in order to perform to her best ability. I can highly recommend him !

Ian was a huge help in helping me achieve the grades I needed to get into university. I couldn't recommend him any more highly. He is patient when you cannot understand certain topics and will use real life examples to simplify previously complicated concepts. He is also super friendly and easy to talk to making every session very enjoyable. 10/10

I can highly recommend Ian . He tutored my son for the last academic year of his A levels for Economics and Business. Ian worked via Zoom calls at a time to suit my son and has been a calm and steadying influence. Ian’s knowledge in the curriculum, exam technique, and marking consolidated my son’s core knowledge and gave him confidence to face his A levels after two years of Covid lockdown. Ian raised my son’s predicted grade to a B with every hope of getting an A and on the strength of his grades, he is heading to Uni to study Business.
Many thanks.

Ian instilled a huge, and sorely needed confidence in Economics with my son. His knowledge and empathy enabled him to fill in the gaps in my son's understanding and greatly broaden his background and perspective of the topic. Thoroughly recommended.

We found Ian to be very genial, reliable, helpful, collaborative and understanding, and he was well prepared for tuition sessions, with notes and practice questions that matched Max’s topics.

I would highly recommend Ian as a tutor. He was responsive, flexible and most importantly, was able to combine his knowledge and resources in an approachable way which provided great support and advice to boost our son's A-level preparation.

With just a few months to go, my son Tanay realised that he was not really tracking to his target A* grade in Economics. Luckily I managed to find Ian on first tutors to help with his preparations. Ian is very systematic, organised and thorough. Even though he had a very busy schedule, he managed to fit Tanay in often enough for the progress to be smooth. With Ian's help, Tanay has progressed well with his revisions and now feels much more confident about securing his target grade. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ian for anyone looking to secure a high grade in A-level Economics.

Ian has been an excellent tutor, for my son. We needed someone that could pick up specific A-level topics to fill in gaps that had been missing from school and Ian worked with my son on different topics and question types providing knowledge and confidence in the lead up to the final exams. Thank you

Very flexible and provided tailored support exactly as requested.
Collaborative and cooperative.
A huge thank you

Tom enjoyed his 6 sessions with Ian and they gave him the confidence to go on and get 78% in an internal Economics Paper 3 assessment after Easter having never got above 55% before. Thank you Ian.

My son has been tutored by Ian for 16 months on A level economics. Ian has been very patient and supportive towards my son who struggled with the pace of the curriculum and therefore landing key concepts at school. Ian’s tutoring built confidence and understanding in the subject in the background, preventing my son from falling behind and providing invaluable input to revision for tests and exams. I would definitely recommend Ian especially if your son needs that extra tlc.

Ian has been calm and patient. All difficult topics have been explained really well with great attention to detail. He is thorough, makes complicated methods easy to understand and does not move on to the next topic till he is absolutely confident that my daughter has understood the current topic. Superb resources. Not only is Ian very flexible and accommodating but he is also very organised with proper structure to lessons.
Thank you Ian for your hard work in supporting my daughter in her A level Economics preparation. With your expertise, she has consolidated her understanding of key topics and has ironed out areas where more work was needed. Thank you for your commitment, we honestly feel we could not have found a better tutor.

Ian is extremely knowledgeable. A dedicated tutor he is organised and very considerate. Our daughter worked with Ian. She has stopped taking Econ Tution but we highly recommend Ian

Ian has been helping my daughter for the past term and a half and from my perspective as a parent she has clearly become more confident in the subject from his help. We couldn’t recommend Ian more and this is what my daughter had to comment:
“Ian has been crucial in my development as an economics student, his diligence in going through questions from each part of the specification has really boosted my confidence and grades. When I first started with Ian I had just got a D in my Michaelmas half term exams but by early December I managed to get a grade B in my official mock examinations and this is predominantly from his help in going through each aspect of the paper as well as aiding me in structuring my longer answer questions. With Ian’s help, I am more positive about my work and my understanding of the course is so much better. I couldn’t recommend him more as a tutor!”

My daughter has only just commenced her revision lessons with Ian but already her confidence has increased immensly. Ian has tasked her to challenge herself and develop her essay answers which in turn has increased confidence, her desire to achieve her goal and her essay marks. She very much looks forward to her lesson with ian. Recommended

Ian is a fantastic tutor and has really helped me improve my grade in economics. Ian has especially helped me with improving the amount of detail I use in my essays.
I cannot recommend Ian enough to any other students struggling with A level economics

Ian's methodological approach is both robust and inclusive. Matteo is very happy and really benefits from Ian's classes. His knowledge of CIE exam is extensive and I hope Ian can make a difference in Matteo's mark in As economics this year and in Matteo's final exam.

Hi Ian

Thank you for the lesson. My son enjoyed the session but the teaching style was not quiet right for him at this stage,

He is a kind and attentive teacher.

My daughter started Economics with a C/B in Year 12 and with Ian’s help, achieved an A* at A level.
‘Ian breaks the content down in a way which is very easy to understand and by helping create model answers to past paper essay questions, I had a bank of answers which I could adapt to any question I was given to at school. This made essay structure and writing, something that I struggled with, a lot easier!’ Thank you Ian!

Ian is a great tutor, he has helped me to grasp the knowledge i lacked to get the top marks in the longer essay questions and enhanced my understanding of how to answer the trickier MCQs. Overall he has provided with loads of resources to improve my grade that I got on my mock, from a D to an A

Ian was an excellent tutor for my son who needed his knowledge refined in whichever topic he asked and Ian was able to cater to his requests very well. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing help with economics.

Ian has been brilliant helping me with my Economics A level over the past year and a bit. He always responds quickly whenever I have a question or need to book a lesson and always makes sure that I get the most I possibly can out of each session. Even when he’s busy and I need an extra lesson, he’ll find a way of slotting me in - this has been particularly helpful during the exam period when I suddenly need to go over something at the last minute! Overall my experience with Ian has been fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Economics tutor.

Ian has been tutoring me for the past 9 months to help me prepare for my A level economics. In this time I went from a B grade to an A grade with Ian’s help. He explained concepts well and helped me develop my essay writing skills. I would recommend Ian as a tutor to anyone studying A level economics.

Our son found Ian engaging, very helpful and explained things clearly and in a way that was easily understandable. Hopefully with Ian’s help he will achieve the results he wants.

I wouldn't have achieved the higher marks necessary to be accepted into university without Ian's input. I found his style of tutoring helped me to understand the complexities of economics. We developed an excellent rapport and got on really well. I am eternally grateful to Ian for assisting me in my quest to reach my goal. Ian is exemplary in his teaching style with exceptional diligence and patience. His manner is kind, and thoughtful to an unusually high standard. I am very fortunate to have found Ian and will be forever thankful. Thank you Ian…

Ian is an excellent, hard working tutor with lots of experience. We can only recommend him further to any student/parent seeking someone, who will help them achieve the results they want. Ian helped our son, who attends an international school in Germany, with his end-of-term test preparation. Our son did really well at that test, although he had missed most of the term.
Besides being exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced, Ian succeeded in sorting out the material very quickly and focusing on the specific test requirements.

Ian is a fantastic teacher! You learn so much with him without even noticing!!

Personally, I needed help with economics to get into a British school from Russia. Thankfully, I successfully reached my goal and with his help!

Ian has been fantastic in getting my son up to speed in a short period for his A level re-takes. He transformed his understanding of the syllabus and provided much needed help with and tips for effective essay writing, question answering and exam technique. He also set up a very user friendly revision timetable and marked questions and gave excellent feedback. I wish that Ian had taught him for the entire of the 6th form - could not recommend Ian more highly

I found Ian communication with me is very good . From the enquiry stage to the present , he responds to the queries and address any concern that I have about my niece 's education .

My niece who is fond of Economics subject , was struggling with the subject in Year 11… Some of the reason was because the school did not have a regular Economics teacher .for over 12 months. When the school closed , we decided to get a tutor for her . I explained to Ian , my niece 's situation which was to help my niece to gain her confidence in the subject and to prepare for her first year in 6 th Form .

Since the lessons started , my niece is a happier student and seems to enjoy the lesson .

I have use Ian for 3 years so far and found him to be a very helpful and patient teacher. He has very good knowledge of the subject.

Ian was extremely professional and knowledgeable when tutoring my son. Also incredibly good at communicating with me and did his best to accommodate times and my son’s attitude, which was one of uncertainty that he could succeed or that it was worth trying. I would fully recommend Ian to anyone looking for a tutor

Ian was very helpful to my son and gave excellent feedback on his a level economics essays.

Ian is great at explaining topics that I was not sure about at the time, sets relevant questions related to these topics and gives constructive feedback.

Ian has been helping my son with his a level economics online. He’s knowledgeable, punctual and always ready to help. Thank you.

The Economics lessons were very clear and i found it easy to understand the content which was being taught to me. Would highly recommend him as he is an excellent tutor.

Ian has been supporting my son with prep for his A level Economics exam. My son was diagnosed with ADHD last year and had significant gaps in his knowledge from Year 12. Ian has done an excellent job of building my son's knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm for the subject, while accommodating the particular challenges my son has. We are confident Ian's support will make a significant difference in the final grade my son achieves ( hopefully enabling him to get on the university course he loves) and in reducing his anxiety in the next few weeks. We could not have hoped for a better tutor.

My son is in his second year of A levels and has been tutored by Ian for the last few months. His confidence has soared since being taught by Ian abc he now believes that with hard work he can achieve a high grade which is fantastic. Ian is very organised and has built him a program to suit his specific needs. My son is dyslexic and Ian has taken that on board well and given him the right support. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

Excellent A level Economics tutoring for my daughter, who has missed the beginning of her A level due to undergoing surgery. Her confidence has been really boosted by weekly sessions.

Ian is a great Tutor. And he is very kind, patience.
My son said, he is the best tutor we had over the last couple years.
He will go to through problems step by step and making sure you understood before moving to a different topics.He also give you homework as well.
My son grade improve dramatically. i.e. from a Grade 'D' in Economics to a Grade 'B' only after a few weeks tutoring.
Good Job Ian.
We are looking forward to use him again in A2 Economics,
Cheers

Ian has been the perfect tutor for my son Tom. He has helped Tom gain confidence and consolidate his learning which we are looking forward to continuing for the A2 year. Always prompt, reliable and generous with his time I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Under Ian’s expert online tutoring, my son has gained the confidence to face his A level Business exams with a knowledgeable and positive attitude. Ian’s amiable and collaborative teaching approach has helped my son overcome weak areas through focusing on test papers and exam technique. He built a rapport with his student that transformed any pressure into an effective learning relationship.

Ian was an excellent tutor for my daughter studying A2 Level Economics. Ian taught in an enthusiastic and informed manner, explaining clearly and concisely so that theories could be practically applied. He was always cheerful and engaging, giving positive encouragement. Under his guidance my daughter’s confidence thrived while her knowledge base consolidated. His interactive style of teaching suited my daughter well. We only contacted Ian in March in the run up to final exams in May, yet he was able to immediately accommodate my daughter into his schedule. Ian was also flexible with timing to suit us; we live in Hong Kong and he easily agreed on time slots that worked around the time difference. We are very grateful for Ian’s invaluable help during a crucial revision time, and extend our sincere thanks and best wishes.

Ian was tremendously helpful for our son Jack, studying A-level Business. He took him through test papers, discussed key topics where Jack felt he had some weakness, helped him develop his style in answering questions. He also gave Jack much more confidence than he had before.

It was altogether a really valuable experience. Many thanks, Ian.

Excellent - I am a tutor of another subject myself and oversee the full programme for the student concerned - so I 'sat in' to observe the session that Ian gave as a taster, and we fully intend to use him at a later date - particularly when practice and final examinations are looming. He clearly has a lot of expertise and experience with examination skills and the application of concepts - in both Business and Economics - to meet the particular assessment objectives in a most effective way.

Patient and good arrangement for my son

Great communication and Ian was really helpful with flexibility.
My son only had one session but that was great, lots of information and support
Many thanks
Would definitely recommend

Ian stepped in at the last minute when the previous tutor was unable to continue. With only two months left before my nephew's Economics A-Levels exam, Ian gave him the final piece of confidence my nephew needed to succeed. Ian is very open to suggestions and works with his candidate's strengths and weaknesses. My nephew has now completed this exams and credits his on-going confidence to the sessions he had with Ian. Hopefully the fruits of his efforts are shown through his results.

We have been very pleased with Ian"s tuition of Edward, we will be better placed to give feedback when he gets his exam results !

I found the lessons very helpful

Ian has really helped improve my confidence when writing essay and long answer questions. He gives really thorough feedback which I have found extremely helpful. Would recommend as and an A-Level economics tutor!

My daughter has had Ian as a tutor for a couple of months and has already seen significant improvements in both her essay writing and her understanding of the content. Her redrafts of previous essays have already shown her grades increase from a C to a B/A.

This is very professional, stimulating tuition in A-level Economics. As a result, my son not only has made impressive progress in his Economics, but also has been inspired to notice and analyse real life case studies or events relating to various studied topics. I like the approach and teaching methods used and the tutor-student trust and rapport that have developed. My son always comes home after the lessons eager to tell about the new things he learned and looking forward to the next class.

Ian was extremely accommodating and helpful to my son who is struggling with A Level Business Studies. In a few short lessons Ian clearly explained some key areas which have given my son the tools to push forward with more confidence and motivation. We will definitely continue to seek Ian’s assistance.

Ian's help for A2 economics has been great. The sessions are well planned and covers a range from detailed notes to going through past exam questions. Using skype has also been an easy method of communication!

Ian is an excellent Tutor. I was really struggling with Economics and Ian has encouraged me and developed my knowledge and exam skills loads.

My son seems to be finding it really useful - concise notes and good summaries of the topics studied so far - He is getting a lot from the sessions. Set up has been straightforward

Many thanks

Ian has done wonders for my son's confidence in economics & he has made great strides in the subject. Ian is reliable, efficient & explains the topics clearly. We would definitely recommend Ian to others looking for a tutor.

Over the last year Ian has provide my son, Guy, with a weekly on line session to support his goal of attaining a good (A or B) grade in A level economics which, hopefully, he will achieve in August. The support provided has been truly excellent and effective, Ian is clearly at the forefront of his subject, the A level exam system and has been able to address Guys weaknesses in the subject. Its worth noting that Guy found the online delivery as effective (arguably more effective) than face to face tuition.

Ian has helped my daughter immensely. She was lacking in confidence, her interest in Economics was low and she had little idea about the new marks scheme. Ian worked his way slowly, improving her knowledge and giving her the confidence to score well. I would recommend him highly.

Very helpful for going through exam questions and any help you may need with other areas, topic knowledge is second to none. Definitely recommended.

Ian has really helped with me structuring my essays; he has taught me how to do the chains of reasoning, giving my answers a logical sequence.

Ian has provided good guidance to my daughter's Economic subject. She has improved her understanding in the concepts and technics.

Ian stepped in to completely take over my son's entire AS economics teaching as my son left school (his own choice, disillusioned with the education system) during his AS year, 6 months before his exams.

It was a potentially daunting task he took on brilliantly. He is friendly, organised, extremely knowledgeable and above all tailors his teaching precisely to each individual and their needs. We have obviously not got the AS results yet but would be very surprised if it as not a A or A star. Perhaps more important than the final grade itself, Ian has enthused a bright, but rather disillusioned, young person with the subject of economics. Once his least favourite A level, my son is now planning to include some economics at degree level.

We cannot recommend Ian highly enough and know we were very very lucky to have him on board in such a testing situation.

Jonny has had one lesson so far and found it extremely useful. Jonny made a list of areas he wanted to go over and Ian explained everything very well, Jonny is now feeling optimistic about his Economics!

Alison (mother)

Over the past 3 months Ian has been tutoring my son in Business Studies AS Level. Jake's confidence and comprehension of the subject have turned around in this time and he has felt much better prepared for his exam. He found Ian very easy to work with and great at explaining complicated topics which he now understands. I would highly recommend Ian as a tutor.

Great tutor. Very good at teaching concepts. My son is really enjoying the lessons and having a lot of light bulb moments.

Thank u very much Ian for helping my son Karim … he got a high B at his A level … from E at his mocks… I recomend Ian for anybody who is looking for a reliable tutor.

I had Ian as a tutor for three months as I was retaking an a level economics module. My previous grade for the module was a D, and my retake grade, after Ian's help, was an A* at 93%. Ian is a great tutor, helps build confidence, very patient and really prepares you for exams. I highly recommend him!

We would highly recommend Ian. Our son James was told at school that he was looking at a grade D. With Ian's guidance, expert teaching and enthusiasm James' confidence and knowledge grew and he was awarded a grade B. James is now going to his first choice university which would not have been possible with a grade D in Economics. Thank you Ian.

My son Finn who is studying for his AS Economics has found Ian's tuition most helpful. Finn felt he needed guidance in exam technique and support especially in answering the high mark questions This,Ian kindly helped him with effectively. Ian is a kind, prompt efficient tutor. Finn is delighted to have made contact with him, feeling a lot more confident and well equipped for the coming Exam.Thank you Ian from Finn's Mum.

Ian is tutoring my daughter in Year 2 of A level Economics. She has really benefitted from and enjoys the one to one teaching. Each week she is able to choose what she wants to focus on and this in turn has improved her understanding of what is being taught at school and this has led to her getting more out of lessons at school – a win win situation. As a parent I find Ian a very nice and extremely reliable person, as well as someone who communicates well. He has a genuine enthusiasm for wanting to help my daughter achieve a top grade in her Economics A level and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Ian tutored my son Benji for A2 Economics revision.

For about 4 weeks leading up to the A2 exams Ian supported Benji with revision and past papers practice. It turned out that Benji had a number of gaps in his knowledge so Ian covered quite lot of the syllabus in much more detail. Ian was very supportive and flexible and was able to cram a lot of hours in during this period which was definitely needed.

Sessions were a combination of face-to-face and Skype which reduced the amount of driving. Overall Ian's tutoring was very helpful and made a huge difference to Benji's understanding and performance in Economics. We now look forward to his results. We would definitely recommend Ian.

Would recommend Ian. Very organised and has really helped my daughter improve in her understanding and performance in Economics. He has addressed all the areas she was finding difficult and has worked on exam technique with her.
