Blackwood Economics Tutors and Blackwood Economics Tuition

Personal Description:
- I am currently working as a full time tutor after completing my Masters Degree in Social Policy at LSE. Before this, I was studying a BA in History at UCL. I am absolutely passionate about education and helping students to achieve their full potential. I take a personalised approach that caters directly to the individual. I have been tutoring for 5 years.

Teaching Experience:
- I have held various posts at my school like History Buddy, Maths Support Club. Through doing this I feel I have gained a sense of nurturing and helping people, which I feel would be beneficial in a tuition role.

Tutoring Approach:
First and foremost I hope to instil an appreciation of the subject in the student. I am able to explore the syllabus in a fun way. This can be particularly important if they have had a negative experience thus far with their own teachers. I feel able to relate to students as I have in all likelihood recently experienced similar problems myself and could thus be more accessible than a parent or teacher.
I am able to provide an interesting, insightful and dynamic way of learning.

I have extensive experience mentoring colleagues at work, and I use the same structured, clear approach to help students succeed.

I specialise in complex, exam-heavy topics where students often lose marks, including cash flow statements, corrections of errors, final accounts with adjustments, partnership accounts, accounting ratios, budgeting, and variance analysis and Economics concepts. My lessons are tailored to student pace and focus on exam technique, understanding, and confidence.

Calm, structured, and supportive

Teaching Experience:
I have extensive experience mentoring and guiding students, both in professional and educational settings. I have also mentored colleagues at work, helping them understand complex accounting and business concepts, apply them in practical situations, and develop confidence in their skills.

More recently, I have transitioned to online tutoring, preparing structured lessons for A-Level Accounting and Business Studies and Economics I focus on high-demand and challenging topics such as cash flow statements, corrections of errors, partnership accounts, final accounts with adjustments, ratios, budgeting, and variance analysis and complex economics concepts.

My online teaching approach is student-focused, calm, and structured. I use step-by-step explanations, worked examples, and exam-style questions. I also tailor lessons to the student's pace and learning style, ensuring they understand concepts deeply rather than memorising.

I have successfully helped students gain confidence, improve their grades, and perform well in exams, all through one-to-one online sessions using video calls, screen sharing, and digital practice materials.

Tutoring Approach:
Student-Centered & Individualized
I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to their pace, understanding, and goals. I start by identifying strengths and areas for improvement, then structure lessons accordingly.

Focus on Complex & High-Demand Topics
I specialize in challenging A-Level topics, including cash flow statements, partnership accounts, corrections of errors, accounting ratios, budgeting, variance analysis, business strategy, SWOT/PEST analysis, and exam case studies. I break down complex topics into step-by-step, manageable parts so students gain confidence and clarity.

Exam-Focused & Results-Oriented
My lessons are designed to build both understanding and exam skills. I provide worked examples, practice questions, and exam-style problems to ensure students can apply concepts under exam conditions.

Interactive & Practical
I use real-world examples, scenario-based questions, and discussions to make lessons engaging and relevant. Students not only learn theory but also how to apply it in practical and exam contexts.

Calm, Structured, and Supportive
I create a patient, encouraging learning environment. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, building confidence and independence.

Mentorship Beyond Tutoring
Drawing on my FCCA qualification, 15+ years post-qualification experience, and B.Ed, I mentor students to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and strategic understanding - skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Personal Description:
I am an exam-focused Modern Studies, History and Politics tutor. I currently offer online tuition. My original degree was in Economics & Politics and I have always loved History.

The Scottish Higher exams in these subjects are skills based, so I aim to prepare students to allow them to fulfil their potential in the exams.

Teaching Experience:
I have recently provided tutoring for the Scottish Higher exams in Modern Studies, History and Politics.

So far, all of the students I have tutored have improved on their mock exam results and over 95% have achieved A grades at Higher in History and Modern Studies.

Early in my career, I trained and worked for 3 years as a Teacher of English as a Foreign language, both abroad and in the UK.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe exam technique is vital in the subjects I tutor and can make a real difference to grades achieved. Consequently I ensure that my students are completely familiar with what is required in the exam and my focus is on helping them to reproduce their knowledge under exam conditions in order to gain the most marks.

I also specialise in preparing Higher students for the Course Work Assignment which is now a part of the Higher History and Modern Studies exams.

Personal Description:
I want my lessons to be fun and useful. All my learners build their confidence very quickly. I tailor my tutoring on how you wish to learn and I teach in a style that you ask for to create a truly personalised approach. To add value, I use fun and personalised assessment for learning techniques with a focus on your starting points. Last year, I really enjoyed working with several students that received either A*, A, B or C. Their references and reviews are available on request.

We can set targets together around your requests with a focus on what helps you feel more confident.

My sessions will be fun and improve learning and motivation.

I have two children aged 10 and 14. I have an updated Enhanced DBS Certificate. I can supply feedback from my past and current tutees.

I believe that I can add at least two higher grade boundaries to your present results. My current tutees have all added at least one higher grade boundary with some adding 3 boundaries. All of them have improved by at least 2 grades within 3 months with a weekly session.

Teaching Experience:
I am a fully qualified teacher with 20 years experience at GCSE and A level (14 to 19 year olds), working in the UK and abroad. In addition, I have experience in financial guidance plus 3 years management of learning and assessment success in a quality standards role . I have previous roles as a teacher trainer, secondary school teacher and a tutor for special and gifted learners. I also have further experience as a GCSE and A Level examiner. All my resources are updated to meet any of the awarding body exams.

I was also a staff coach and teacher trainer for a full range of courses offered in the post 16 sector. I gained Employer of the Year in 2010 and in 2011 a Career Academy Honorary Alumni for outstanding contribution to Financial Service links between employers and young professionals.

Tutoring Approach:

Personal Description:
I am a highly experienced and dedicated teacher with a genuine passion for helping students achieve their full potential. As a Director of Learning for Year 13 and an examiner, I bring a deep understanding of what exam boards are looking for and how to help students succeed.

I currently mark for the following exam boards:

AQA: A Level and GCSE Economics (Paper 1 and Paper 2)

Edexcel / Pearson: A Level and GCSE Economics and Business Studies

My approach focuses on building confidence and clarity in both Business and Economics. I support students by strengthening their exam technique, using past paper practice, model answers, and practical tips to help them understand how to structure their responses and reach top grades.

Every student learns differently, and my aim is to make learning engaging, focused, and rewarding.

Teaching Experience:
With many years of experience teaching in both inner and outer London schools, I have taught Business Studies and Economics across GCSE, A Level, and BTEC courses. I'm passionate about helping students understand key concepts and apply them effectively in exams.

I have also taught International A Level Business as well as International GCSE Business and Economics, giving me a broad understanding of different exam specifications and global approaches to business education.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching approach combines clear subject knowledge with a strong focus on exam success. As an experienced teacher and examiner, I understand exactly what exam boards look for in high-scoring answers.

I tailor each lesson to meet the individual needs of my students, ensuring they not only understand key concepts in Business and Economics, but can also apply them confidently in exam contexts. Lessons include a mix of explanation, discussion, and practice using past papers, model answers, and examiner feedback.

My goal is to build students' confidence, improve their exam technique, and help them reach or exceed their target grades through structured, supportive, and engaging teaching.

Personal Description:
Another great year with all my tutees gaining the top grades and the university of their choice. I am very proud that my tutees achieve such excellent grades as I am able to improve essay and short answer grades, often considerably, due to my extensive experience at A level.. I am a friendly, very patient and good humoured tutor who is highly professional in my approach to tutoring whether online or one to one. I work hard for my tutees and am always prepared to go the extra mile. My commitment to my students is not just in the tutoring session as I will assess work and give help whenever my tutees ask for it. I have a very extensive understanding of Economics and Business and I keep up with all the latest developments in my subjects. I believe I have warm and friendly personality with a good sense of humour and that I am also a good listener.

Teaching Experience:
I am a qualified, teacher with over thirty five years experience teaching and tutoring Economics and Business. I have worked for all the major examination boards as a moderator, examiner and question setter. I have a great deal of understanding of what GCSE and A level examiners are looking for in awarding top grades. As a result I get a huge satisfaction when my students gain really improved grades, year on year, very frequently exceeding their own targets. The feedback from students, parents and carers is always extremely positive and it is this high praise that makes me want to continue teaching and making the difference.

Tutoring Approach:
I firmly believe that the majority of teachers and schools/colleges do their best to help their students. However, many students have weaknesses especially in their written work. To gain high grades students need to be able to analyse, apply and evaluate their knowledge but those skills are often not developed by their school or college. However, my experience and individually focused sessions can remedy this and as a result my students soon are making far better responses to essay questions, data response and case studies than before they started tuition. As confidence grows I work with my students to help them achieve consistent high grades and a very pleasing final grade.

Personal Description:
Hello, I am a UK qualified teacher and have had a very interesting career in the UK and overseas. I lived in Australia for 2 years where I gained an MBA. I worked in the Middle East for 5 years. For the past few years, I have been an on-line tutor for a Paris school, a Budapest school and many private A level, IB and undergraduate students.

I live in the countryside and enjoy walking my dog across the fields, watching Netflix and generally socialising with friends and family

I am trying to improve my French with Duo Lingo - an on-line resource learning platform. I am also going to learn some Arabic so that I can impress my son-in-law who is from Syria.

Teaching Experience:
My teaching experience has been gained in a wide range of educational establishments, in the UK and overseas. I taught in an international boarding school for many years and taught students for whom English was their second language. I taught business related subjects in the Middle East in the training department of a multi-national oil company. Prior to this I worked in schools and colleges in Wales and England.

More recently, I have been tutoring economics and business on-line, using a variety of platforms including Zoom and MS Teams

I am an Associate Examiner with Edexcel, AQA and Cambridge International

Tutoring Approach:
At our first meeting, I will assess your strengths and weaknesses so that I can draw up an individual learning plan for you. The first 15 minutes are free.

I find that most students are capable of learning the content of the GCSE or A level syllabus, can remember the main concepts, but struggle to write a coherent A grade essay. If this is your weakness, then I will focus on developing your essay writing skills and I have lots of resources which I use to do this.
I understand that some of the economics and business concepts can be quite complex and some of the diagrams challenging, so I will be very patient with you and will make sure you fully understand every topic in the syllabus. I will stretch and challenge you to make sure that you stay at the top of your game and I will use materials appropriate to your ability.

My main objective is to help students gain confidence and instil in them a 'can do' attitude. This is something that I believe I am good at. I get great job satisfaction when I see my students develop self-confidence and reach their full potential. Economics can be fun and I will always try to make your lesson as interesting, relevant and fun as possible. I look forward to meeting you.

Personal Description:
Please note - for the 2023/24 academic year, I am only offering online lessons.

As a student of mathematics for over 25 years (and counting!), I have dedicated the past five years to making mathematics accessible to secondary students around the world.

After graduating from the University of Birmingham with a 1st Class BSc Hons in Economics, I worked as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant at professional services firm, PwC.

In search of a more fulfilling profession, I made the move into teaching through the Teach First programme in 2018 as a secondary mathematics teacher. Since then, I have taught as a qualified classroom teacher in the UK and as a Head of Department (Mathematics, Science, and Design) in China helping students from the age of 10 to 19 achieve their academic and personal goals.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught Maths as a qualified teacher in UK secondary schools. I then went on to teach Maths, Economics, and Business Management at an international school in China, where I was also Subject Group Leader for Maths, Science, and Design.

Tutoring Approach:
As a tutor, I will:
- arrive to lesson with materials prepared
- highlight areas where the student's understanding is correct
- identify the student's misconceptions
- welcome "why?" and "what if?" questions
- guide the student through worked examples
- give the student opportunities to display their knowledge

I work with the student to ensure they:
- arrive to their lesson equipped and ready to learn
- explain their thought process when solving a problem
- ask the tutor "why?" and "what if?" questions
- organise knowledge by creating meaningful notes

My aim is to:
- guide students to build an understanding of mathematical concepts, rather than relying on merely teaching procedures
- support students with their in-school learning, rather than acting as a replacement for school-based lessons
- help students overcome maths-related anxiety; no topic is considered to be "easy" and the focus is always on making progress
- build a positive tutor-student relationship where students are comfortable making mistakes

Personal Description:
I am a committed, PGCE trained teacher with QTLS who hopes to build on the experience that I have gained through my PGCE and my teaching experience in FE colleges and 6th form schools so far by gaining employment in a new role as a GCSE & A Level Business Studies online tutor, and Homework help. I am an extremely hard working and self-motivated individual. Through my studies and professional work experience, I have developed a substantial skill set, including excellent numeracy, analytical, problem solving, decision-making, team working, the ability to work at own initiative, and utilise interpersonal and communicative abilities to formulate beneficial relationships at all levels. I have a passion to tutor and support students to attain their full potential.

Teaching Experience:
I am a full qualified Business Studies teacher, and I have taught GCSE and A Level Business, Finance, and Accounting in 6th form Schools and colleges in London for 8 years. I have also experience in teaching GCSE Economics as well as BTEC Business (New Syllabus) I have a great passion to teach and I have a very good track record of my previous students who achieved good results. I also have worked with special needs students with different learning disabilities including Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to Tutoring is one on one, each student is unique, with different learning abilities, and prefer different learning styles. There is no one size fits all lesson. One on one is beneficial to students, as a tutor I will have to continually assess each one academically and tailor my lessons to their particular needs. This way each child is able to achieve their full potential.

Small groups tutoring does work in certain situations where students are friends and prefer to learn together as they motivate and learn form each other especially in times of revision. My approach to tutoring will mostly depends on the individual's needs.

Personal Description:
I have been teaching Economics and Business for over 14 years as Head of Economics and Business in three high performing independent schools.

Teaching Experience:
Having retrained as a teacher in 2010 I have been teaching Advanced Level and GCSE Economics and Business. I have experience across all major exam boards: Pearson Edexcel, AQA, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas and International Baccalaureate Organisation.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is very much based upon the needs of the individual. I identify the curriculum areas and exam technique that they wish to develop confidence in and work with tailored practice exercises that meet these goals. I help to deliver much improved exam and very often the confidence they need to approach external examinations with a positive mindset. I am used to working with a range of abilities in my private tutoring ranging from those who are very confident in their understanding but wish to improve exam skills to those who seek much greater clarity of the fundamentals of Economics or Business.

I have a passion for teaching and am particularly familiar with current GCSE and A-Level content and concepts, as I myself have recently studied these specifications in depth.

I aim to create an environment where my students can enjoy the lesson, as well as openly ask questions and improve their knowledge base and exam technique. This has resulted in excellent feedback, which makes me confident in my ability to tutor students of any age or ability.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to focus my teaching on the techniques required to guarantee high marks in difficult questions by using experience I have of past papers and mark schemes after ensuring a solid foundational understanding of the topics. I have lots of good advice, tips and tricks, as well as plenty of resources that I am keen to share with my students!
