I have been teaching Economics, Statistics and Econometrics since I was in college. After leaving college, I became a full-time professional tutor. I have worked with students who were complete beginners, as well as those who were facing challenges in mastering advanced topics.
I completely understand the initial struggle in decoding the concepts and formulas. I am adept in breaking down these concepts so that students can understand them. I use simple examples so that students can make sense of these topics. I don't encourage memorization and simply recalling the formulas, instead, I focus on the 'why' and 'how'.
I understand that every student has a different way of understanding things. Some students understand the concepts when explained through analogies, others when shown mathematical foundation behind them. I modify my teaching methodology depending on what the student is comfortable with.
I passionately believe in students achieving their potential and enjoy the role of personal tutoring to further aid students learning. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Business and Economics (2:1) and have worked for a number of large organisations offering a variety of depth and experience. Online tutoring is about helping students form around the world to access education via the platform of the internet, to help them succeed at their studies. Firstly, I like to make an initial meeting to understand the needs and objectives of the personal tutoring before developing a detailed plan of the outline of personal tutoring support. I am keen to ensure that both parents and students alike are happy with the service and will accommodate additional requests. I like to ensure that the learner is both enthused and engaged in the tutoring sessions and have a range of resources and assessment techniques.

Joe has three years’ experience teaching a first-year economics course at a top 10 UK university, and in 2019 was the lecturer of a third-year labour economics course. He has tutored many satisfied students at prestigious UK and overseas universities over the last five years.
Joe is a published economist and has been invited to talk about his research by universities across Europe. He has provided econometrics consultancy to UK government departments. Joe holds Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy reflecting his commitment to delivering teaching excellence.
Joe adopts a student centric approach to tutoring. He takes time understand what specific topics or concepts the student is finding difficult and aims to provide a specific solution as well as a broader understanding of the topic and how it fits into the subject in question. He aims to highlight links between concepts within a subject to maximise student understanding.
Over the past 15 years, I have been helping students with their studies in Economics, Finance, Statistics, and other Business-related subjects, primarily at the university level. Moreover, I have had extensive experience in thesis writing and assignment supervision, research guidance as well as academic writing. During this time, my zeal, in-depth knowledge and overall tutoring skills have enabled me to develop a good reputation, thus having a consistent and loyal base of students on a weekly basis.

I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the Economics department at the School of Business and Economics in Loughborough University, supporting undergraduate-level first-year modules namely Principles of Macroeconomics and Quantitative Economics.
The modules I support are mainly classroom-based tutorials, with 20 students per class, and generally focused around problem-based question sets.
Some details of my previous experience:
Tutor for Principles of Macroeconomics (Academic year 2016/17). Responsible for teaching six tutorial groups of around 20 students per group. Total teaching load of 40 hours.
Tutor for Principles of Macroeconomics and Quantitative Economics (Academic Year 2017/18). Responsible for teaching ten tutorial groups of around 20 students per group. Total teaching load of 80 hours.
I have been teaching A level Business and Economics for the past 19 years. I worked at a boarding school with some overseas students, so I have worked a lot with pupils who speak English as a second language. There was also a wide ability range, so I supported the most able students to apply to read Economics at Oxbridge, whilst also helping other students with less ambitious objectives. It has always been my belief that all students deserve the opportunity to fulfil their potential. I have been an A level examiner for AQA Business and Economics in the past.
We all learn at our best when we feel supported as well as challenged. I understand how examiners award marks and I enjoy showing students how they can use their subject knowledge to best advantage to acquire the available marks. Modern technology has revolutionised online tutoring and my tuition sessions are very interactive and show that learning can be fun!
I have been tutoring Economics at my university since the start of 2017. As my students come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, I have learned to explain concepts in multiple ways, to help each student understand the concepts in a way that makes sense and is relevant to them. In 2019, I was promoted to Head Tutor for Economics at my university.
I also have experience marking university-level economics tests and assignments and can assist students in refining their answering techniques, as well as with the examined content.
