I'm a dedicated and patient tutor with a strong passion for helping students build confidence and achieve academic success. I have achieved high grades in both GCSEs and A-levels, and have worked with a range of students. Whether a student needs help preparing for exams, catching up in class, or wants to get ahead, I focus on creating a positive and supportive learning environment. My goal is to help students improve their grades while also inspiring curiosity and helping them form strategies for success. I have completed both my GCSEs and A-Levels in the UK, achieving strong results across a range of academic subjects. At GCSE level, I studied core subjects including English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, and the Sciences, along with Citizenship, Geography, French and RE, which gave me a well-rounded academic foundation. For A-Levels, I chose to pursue Biology, English Literature and Politics, which not only deepened my subject knowledge but also developed my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am looking forward to studying law at university in October.

📘 Economics Tutor Introduction Hi, I’m Jay, an Economics graduate from The Open University, specialising in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and applied economics. I offer tutoring for students at GCSE, A-Level, and university level, with hands-on experience across major exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. My lessons are structured, engaging, and always tailored to the individual needs of each student. I typically begin with a quick recap to reinforce past learning, then move into clear explanations of new concepts, followed by interactive examples, discussions, and exam-style practice questions. I also tie in current economic events and trends to help students see how theory applies in the real world — making lessons more relevant, thought-provoking, and practical. I enjoy tutoring because I’m passionate about making economics understandable and accessible. What motivates me most is seeing students gain confidence, improve their grades, and begin to genuinely enjoy a subject they may have once found difficult or intimidating. Helping them unlock their potential and develop a stronger academic mindset is incredibly rewarding. My teaching style is friendly, patient, and focused on building long-term understanding, not just short-term results. I encourage active participation, independent thinking, and a safe space to ask questions and explore ideas without fear of being wrong. Whether you’re preparing for important exams, aiming for top grades, or just looking to improve your understanding, I’m here to help you succeed — and maybe even learn to love economics along the way. I hold a degree in Economics from The Open University and several industry-recognised certifications in Data Analysis. I bring both academic rigour and practical, hands-on experience to every session. My background spans microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the full quantitative toolkit.

I have worked as a lecturer at De Montfort University for over 15 years. I hold a PGCE in further Education, an MA in English Language Teaching, and a BA honours in English. I taught English for Academic Purposes at university. This enabled me to develop various teaching approaches at different levels of English usage. I have also taught KS3-KS5 in the UK and abroad during which I have been observed several times and demonstrated that I was outstanding. I have used various teaching aids ranging from pictures, flash cards, to a variety of IT techniques. I have also used peer interaction and assessment to develop learners. Teaching at university enabled me to teach presentation skills. This has enabled me to do the same during training, coaching and mentoring sessions with colleagues. I have mentored a number of tutors. In my experience as a university lecturer I have used a variety of online platforms to teach students during the Covid-19 pandemic. I began my journey into English in 2002 when I did a BA (hons) in English at Demontfort university. Following this I did an MA in Children’s Literature in 2005 due to my immense love of reading. However, it was only when I landed a job at a resources centre that I decided to specialize in teaching and so I did a PGCE in education and an MA in English language teaching both in 2007-2009. I absolutely love teaching since then - as cliche as it sounds it is truly my passion and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I love my students and to see them excel truly makes me content. I’ve been told that I have a gift for building a rapport with learners and I to feel this is something that comes naturally to me because as a student I myself struggled with being misunderstood and branded as a ‘bad student’. I feel as a result I can relate to students and their struggles more easily. I’m also very patient and an excellent listener.
