I am an Economics and Business Teacher currently residing in Norwich, Norfolk. Prior to completing my degree. I have taken a series of research projects in connection to my multitude of interests in relation to Economics, which include my dissertation entitled: "Did the London 2012 Olympic Games Aid the UK's Economic Recovery Through Improved Employment?"; my work with Dr Ken Dubin on "Fiscal Federalism and the Sustainability of the Welfare State" as well as my research with Dr Jacek Brant and Dr Farid Panjwani entitled, "Student Teachers' Perception of Poverty and its Link With Student Attainment." I am a current OCR examiner with experience in Edexcel Business and AQA Economics.

Tutoring Experience

An International School in Dubai

Private tutor for 2 years, having overseen the successful transition of 3 students all of whom improved their grades by at least 1 i.e. C to B

Tutoring Approach

I believe in the use of exam papers to develop exam technique. So often great students have a good understanding of their subject but are unsure what exactly the question is asking of them. Through this practise we can work together to improve any subject knowledge weaknesses and maximise their potential in exams.
