I am passionate about teaching Maths because I enjoy helping students see that Maths is not something that is impossible but with help even the most complex topics can be broken down simply. It is especially nice when students come back to you with better results more confidence and a big smile. I can teach Mathematics for A-Levels and below. Big fan of football, cricket (which I play competitively for a club in the Surrey Leagues), video games and recently F1 I would like to preferably tutor students in secondary school, however I am open for Primary school students as well.

📘 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.

Preferred Student Age Groups Am happy to tutor primary/ GCSE/ A-Level, as well as students or adults who have English as a Second Language. About me I love to travel, explore new places and meet people from different cultures. I spent ten years living in Athens, Greece where I worked as a private tutor: teaching TEFL to a wide variety of people - from complete beginners to students wishing to take Cambridge Proficiency exams in order to access UK universities. I have a BA Hons degree in Modern Languages: English/French with a module in Classical Greek Language and Literature. I believe in stress-free lessons , and learning in a relaxed setting. As a tutor I am not there to add pressure, but to help take pressure off. In terms of hobbies, I love reading, writing stories, and watching Turkish TV dramas. I am also a huge tennis fan. Last, but not least, I enjoy all forms of sugar - especially cake! Aside from my degree, I am qualified to teach TEFL. I really enjoy working with those who don't have English as a first language. It's a thrill to help them improve their speaking and listening - as well as reading and writing skills. It's wonderful to see them grow in confidence when expressing themselves in English. Furthermore, I am qualified to do proofreading. This fits in well with teaching English. I also have a certificate in Counselling Skills.
