Economics & Maths

Education background highlights: 1st Class BSc Politics & Economics from LSE. A*A*A at A-Level (Maths, Economics & History), and 12 A*s at GCSE Level (including Further Maths).

Brief self-introduction: Extensive GCSE and A-Level tutoring experience in a range of subjects including Maths, Economics, Physics, Chemistry & Biology. TEFL certificate. Wide range of work experience across Strategy Consulting, Government, and Journalism sectors.

Tutor’s skills: Has a knack for using creative explanations to help students break down complicated concepts that they have been struggling with.

Teaching style: My teaching style is friendly and flexible. The subjects that I teach are all about problem solving, so my focus is on helping students develop tools to crack these problems themselves. I focus on areas that students struggle with as those are usually the points of worry and frustration for them. I have been told by students and parents in the past that I have a unique ability to explain concepts in a novel way that has helped students understand topics that they have always struggled with. I also recognise the importance of cementing your learning by doing plenty of practice questions and mock papers so that students are primed to ace their exams.

Testimonials:
"Dear Mr. Alan, I am incredibly grateful for your guidance and teaching over the past few months, especially for covering a condensed version of first-year A-Level economics within such a short period of time. Accomplishing this task felt almost impossible, but through your thorough support and coaching this ultimately became achievable. Your final lesson on exam structure & technique right before the entrance exams was also particularly helpful—I’m certain it was the factor that got me over the line!"
