Information about David
I am a qualified teacher who went into teaching after a 28-year career in mainly senior management roles in SMEs. I taught full time for 8 years and part-time for 4 years, but have recently switched to self-employment offering instruction and tuition to private students. With over 500 hours of private tuition under my belt, I am one of the most experienced Economics and Business tutors around. Whilst the Covid situation continues I would be reluctant to travel to private homes, but will do once an effective vaccine is in place.
You will see that I have a one star review, which I have asked TutorHunt to remove as it is unreasonable, inaccurate and unfair. I had one lesson with this student who asked me to prepare a topic which I did and delivered it. Following this lesson she booked four subsequent lessons, did not turn up to the first two without informing me and was then surprised and annoyed to be charged even though I was prepared and waiting online. The `revenge` for my apparent unreasonableness is a one star review!
Availability: I have good availability on Monday, Thursday and Friday evenings, but none on Tuedays or Wednesdays at present.
Willing to travel: 12 miles
Experience: As a teacher, I taught for 12 years teaching predominantly A’ Level Economics, A’ Level Business and GCSE Business, with some A’ Level Law. As a tutor too, I have very wide experience, particularly in A’ Level Economics and have tutored all of the main examining board syllabuses including: AQA, Edexcel specification A and B, OCR and WJEC. In A’ Level Business I have tutored AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. I have taught just a single student for A’ Level Law.
Most importantly, I want to give you, (or your son/daughter) confidence in the subject I am tutoring you in and I pride myself in being able to do that. As a previously practising teacher I have a range of techniques available and keep my teaching resources up to date. My tutorials are driven by you, the student, and I generally expect you to guide my teaching by having a range of topics which you wish to cover in any given tutorial. If you want me to choose topics for the tutorials, then I am happy to do that too. I am willing to cover topics that have already been covered in school lessons, or topics that are about to be so. I can and do give homework in the form of exam questions or essays, but this is generally towards test or exam dates and I guarantee to return it to you, marked, at the next tutorial.
DBS Check: Yes

Unfortunately, the experience I had with David was a disappointment. Before starting the lesson, I was clear that I wanted one lesson for my end-of-year exam however, I was put down for 4 bookings and £50 was taken out of my parent`s account even though I didn`t book the lesson let alone attend. During the lesson he was not prepared for the lesson, it was a waste of time. I wanted to learn in-depth topics about macroeconomics, but he didn`t even know the key terms of macroeconomics, for example, he forgot what one of the key terms was and I had to remind him it was economic growth. It wasn`t very helpful, in fact, he just taught me what I already knew, it was a lot of waffling, he was struggling to provide clear analysis and evaluation of macroeconomics or definitions, and no diagrams were shown for the topic, no use of knowledge to use for the exam such as real-life facts. He didn`t relate the topics to A01, A02, and A03 or the specification. No exam tips were provided to reach high grades and no power points were used in the lesson or for me to keep. I was struggling with economics and David did not make it any better, it was just a waste of time!
