David

I am a qualified, retired teacher who went into teaching after a 28-year career in mainly senior management roles in SMEs. I taught full time for 8 years and part-time for 4 years, but have recently switched to self-employment in my retirement offering instruction and tuition to private students. With over 500 hours of private tuition under my belt, I am one of the most experienced Economics and Business tutors around. I try to keep my fees at a reasonable level, because I really enjoy tutoring, and am therefore reluctant to travel, even locally, and prefer to tutor online. Fees advertised are for online tutoring and will be more for travelling to students.

Tutoring Experience

As a teacher, I taught for 12 years teaching predominantly A’ Level Economics, A’ Level Business and GCSE Business, with some A’ Level Law. As a tutor too, I have very wide experience, particularly in A’ Level Economics and have tutored all of the main examining board syllabuses including: AQA, Edexcel specification A and B, OCR and WJEC. In A’ Level Business I have tutored AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. I have taught just a single student for A’ Level Law.

Tutoring Approach

Most importantly, I want to give you confidence in the subject I am tutoring you in, and I pride myself in being able to do that. As a previously practising teacher I have a range of techniques available and keep my teaching resources up to date. My tutorials are driven by you, the student, and I generally expect you to guide my teaching by having a range of topics which you wish to cover in any given tutorial. If you want me to choose topics for the tutorials, then I am happy to do that too. I am willing to cover topics that have already been covered in school lessons, or topics that are about to be so. I can and do give homework in the form of exam questions or essays, but this is generally towards test or exam dates and I guarantee to return it to you, marked, at the next tutorial.
