Bogdan

I am an experienced Economics teacher and former Head of Economics at Winchester College, where I led a high-performing department to consistently exceptional results year-on-year with one of the highest Value Added scores across all subjects. Throughout my nine years teaching, I have delivered outstanding A.A results that have always exceeded the national average and my own school`s average. With an MSc in Behavioural & Economic Science (Distinction) from Warwick, an MA in Economics (First Class Honours) from Aberdeen, and experience as an examiner for both AQA and Edexcel, I bring deep subject expertise and insider knowledge of how mark schemes are used to evaluate work and what examiners are looking for in top-grade responses.

Availability: I am currently available for online tutoring sessions on weekday evenings. Please contact me to discuss your needs and arrange a suitable time.

Experience: Departments I have led have achieved either the highest or second highest Value Added in the Sixth Form every year. I attribute these results to establishing a culture of high expectations and intellectual curiosity. Pupils engage deeply with Economics. My aim has always been to foster genuine love of Economics in each pupil, motivating them to invest their time in the subject, which in turn translates into high attainment. As an examiner for both AQA and Edexcel, I have been able to make use of my detailed knowledge of the exam board to inform preparation of pupils for final exams and ensure they can translate their understanding into strong results.

Throughout my career I have worked extensively with students with a range of SEND conditions, including: dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and ASD. I have accumulated substantial training, and I have a lot of experience in differentiating lessons to meet the needs of SEND pupils. This is something I have also supported colleagues with over the years, both experienced teachers and Early Career Teachers.

Over the years, I have developed extensive experience supporting UCAS applications for Economics and related degrees, as well as preparing pupils for admissions tests including the TSA, and more recently, TARA. In schools I have served, I have been responsible for preparing Oxbridge Economics applicants. I believe in tailoring a bespoke programme for each pupil, reflecting their interests and needs. This will involve discussing chosen readings, giving feedback on their personal statement, conducting mock interviews, and preparing for admissions tests. With this approach, I have helped pupils secure offers from Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Chicago, Stanford and Yale.
