Finn - Douglas tutor
Information About Finn:
Personal Description:
I'm a full-time Economics tutor and an examiner for A-Level and GCSE Economics with Edexcel and WJEC.
I graduated with a First in Economics and then worked for the United Nations in Bangkok on Sustainable Development. That job showed me how much clear thinking and clear writing matter, and they are what an Economics paper rewards most. Most of my teaching focuses on this, together with the content.
In 2026, 32 of the 37 students who reported their results achieved an A* or A. I teach A-Level, IB and GCSE students in the UK and internationally.
Teaching Experience:
Nearly 2,000 hours of one-to-one teaching over 5+ years
Appointed examiner for Edexcel and WJEC
Students at leading UK boarding schools and at international schools in Singapore, Hong Kong, China and the UAE
In-person teaching in China, Nepal and Thailand
2026 results
Of 37 students who reported results, 18 achieved an A* and 14 an A. Every student met their offer from their first-choice university. Five did better than expected and used Clearing to move up to a higher-ranked university.
One student started with me two weeks before their exams, having never written a 25-mark answer. They finished with a high A* and start at Warwick this September.
Tutoring Approach:
I teach what the examiner rewards. Most lost marks are not lost on content. They are lost on a command word that was not answered, analysis that stops one step short, or evaluation that is only a list. I see these errors every marking season, so I find them in a student's work quickly and fix them.
I teach the argument, not just the topic. Every lesson combines content and exam technique. Students learn how to build a chain of reasoning, support it with evidence, and reach a judgement. This skill decides the top grades.
I make it enjoyable. Lessons are interactive and fast-paced. A student who enjoys Economics works harder at it, and confident students write better answers.
I specialise in students who think in a second language. Many of my students sit an English-language exam in their second language. After years of work and teaching across Asia, I know exactly where they lose marks and how to fix it.
Parents always know where things stand. You get an update each half term and a full report each term.
