Information about Barnaby
Experienced tutor and official examiner.
Big improvements are often made with small steps and students will go far once they realise that a little bit more effort every day makes a huge difference over a year. This is the attitude I try to encourage in all my tutees as regular effort quickly removes the stress.
I am an official examiner for A level economics and I know what the examiners want to see. I teach good technique which is focused on achieving all of the assessment objectives which are necessary for a high grade.
I have taught students of all abilities. Not everyone can finish with an A* but, in my experience, *every* student can make big improvements with a bit of focus and encouragement.
Availability: Mondays to Fridays. Please just ask and let me know a few times which would work for you and I`ll get back to you. I generally don`t offer appointments on weekends (sorry) but as we get closer to the exams, I tend to be a bit more flexible about this.
Willing to travel: 1 miles
Experience: Tutor, teacher, and official examiner.
I have tutored economics for many years and have also taught it at a private 6th form tutorial college for three years. I also taught the GCSE history class at a small independent school for a couple of years, back when I tutored history.
My work as an official examiner in A level economics has given me an invaluable insight into what the examiners want to see as well as the most common errors that students can make.
DBS Check: Yes

Barnaby has now completed three sessions with my son who had just completed his Economics mock when starting. Already his confidence and work are showing signs of improvement and he feels very optimistic he will gain the grade he needs to secure his uni place. Barnaby has shown friendliness, flexibility and high level of competence and I`d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.
Tutors Response :
Thank you, Simon. That`s very kind of you to say.

Barnaby has been a great tutor these past few months. Always prompt and polite, he pitched his lessons perfectly. He has a very calm and reassuring manner and has helped my son enormously with his history GCSE. I would definitely recommend Barnaby.
