Ian - Bicester tutor






Information About Ian:


Personal Description:

I am a fully qualified and very experienced international teacher of Economics, an experienced A Level Economics examiner, and experienced in advising students for UCAS applications.
I obtained a B.A. (Hons) 2: 1 in Economic History at Sheffield University in 1971, and completed my PGCSE teaching qualification at Leeds University in 1972. My specialist teaching subjects being Economics and History.
. In 1986 I received a Distinction for a Diploma in Education from the University of London; and in 1988 completed an M.A with Distinction. In both cases the theme was Economics of Education.
I am now retired from full time teaching but wish to remain involved as a tutor of Economics. - in person if possible,.or online.



Teaching Experience:

I taught A Level Economics for more than 20 years in England, achieving a lot of very good results , before spending over ten years working outside the UK in Latvia, Czech Republic , and India.
So I have a rich and varied experience of teaching the subject, having spent the past ten years teaching Economics at Kings Oxford - an international school with students from all over the world.



Tutoring Approach:

My first contact with a student is to establish exactly what help they need - for example which area of knowledge do they need to develop further; what help do they need in producing effective answers to questions. I expect a student to ask me questions , respond to my advice and build from it by making effective use of their time outside tutorials. They will discover a knowledgeable, experienced tutor with empathy and an understanding of the pressure a student may be following, and the most appropriate help they will need.
