Information about Simon

I graduated from the LSE with a BSc(Econ) honours degree and worked in the Government Economic Service based in H M Treasury. This means I have real world experience that can bring detail and relevance to your work. As an experienced examiner I know how to help you achieve your best.

I am an experienced teacher of Economics and Business to undergraduate level including A-level, GCSE, BTEC and International qualifications. I have a published textbook on Mathematics for Economics and Business which has been adopted by universities including University College, Dublin.

At A-level, my results secured an ALPS score of ‘’2’ and in the top national quartile for value-added. At GCSE, my results were consistently in the top 3 subjects for progress in the school.

My support includes:
- one to one tuition including face to face and by FaceTime
- exam practice
- deep assessment (rather than just tick and flick marking) to help you improve rapidly;
- personalised support with essays, dissertations and coursework; and
- support with UCAS personal statements.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: Experienced teacher of economics, business and accounting/finance. LSE graduate, worked in H M Treasury and taught for 20 years including examiner for large exam boards. Great results for pupils. I enjoy what I do and teaching, for me, is a privilege.

Simon is a very motivating and great tutor. He absolutely understood my son, his strength and what he needed which meant they established a fantastic rapport. He is able to isolate what is needed and concentrated on those aspects and helped my son`s confidence levels and provided some solid structure to approaching questions, especially the 25 marker questions. I would thoroughly recommend him.

Simon is there when you need him, flexible not only in when he can meet for sessions, but also, and most importantly, in how he delivers and teaches material. He has tremendously helped me, and all I can say, is that if you want the best, he`s the best. Don`t take my word for it though, speak to him yourself, and I promise, you won`t be disappointed.

Simon is very compassionate, intelligent and punctual tutor with thourough knowledge in university Economics as well as ability to transfer it to a boy who had been frightened by his impending exam, in a down to earth manner. My son had a great time with him being enlightened, confirmed, consolidated & strengthened by his teaching. He feels much better now confronting his Economics exam at his uni, which is 2 days away. Thank you so much, Simon!

Excellent tutor for undergraduate studies in Finance/Economics. He has boosted my son’s confidence and taught the tougher modules he struggled with at uni exceptionally well. I would highly recommend as he has both the knowledge and ability to explain and teach difficult concepts really well. Can’t recommend him highly enough.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Simon during the course of my a level business studies. Before starting with Simon I found that I lacked confidence in my business skills and was very pessimistic. Simon completely erased that and allowed me to be more confident and optimistic. His sessions are extremely engaging and enjoyable. Rather than simply giving questions to answer, Simon engages his students in business discussions. Simon helped me to achieve a B grade in my a level business exams which I am pleased with because I was at a D grade before working with him.

He`s incredibly good at breaking down very complicated concepts into an easy-to-understand format and hopefully through his support and my own independent revision can allow me to achieve an A.

Simon is very organised and I enjoyed the conversation with him - I asked him a few questions before our session and he came to the course with prepared answers. He is also very good at spotting where you didn`t understand and patiently explained those parts to you. I would definitely recommend Simon.

Simon is a great tutor! Very friendly and easy to talk to and made it so much easier to write up my personal statement. He helped make my statement sound more professional and made me feel a lot more confident about applying to uni. I wouldn`t have been able to do that without Simon`s help. Would definitely recommend for anyone struggling to write up their personal statement!

Simon is really really amazing. My sun struggled a lot during his first years of A level Economics. Simon boosted his grades. He went from an U to an A!!!. Now he is at Uni studying Economics! Would highly recommend him to anyone. Simon has variety of teaching methods. He teaches the theories and then explains in depth on how you can apply those theories into real life examples. Again would recommend him to anyone!
