Alexandra

Highly experienced teacher and examiner of Economics and Business with outstanding results and a long track record in relation to student progress. Building a supportive relationship with my students is at the heart of my success and I can tailor sessions according to the needs of each individual and build confidence and excellence in performance. I have been teaching for over 17 years and examining for 10 years and have worked for 2 of the main exam boards. I genuinely take delight in seeing my students flourish from small group or individual tuition.

I bring the world of Economics and Business to life using current news stories and help students to engage with difficult concepts by relating it to the real business environment and the global economy. My track record of strong grades at A level and GCSE links to my strong emphasis on exam preparation and high quality revision programmes which can be tailored to each student. Feedback from previous students is that they found the subject easier and much more enjoyable through the high quality rapport and subject knowledge that I can bring to the tutoring role. Many of my students have also progressed to Oxbridge and top Russell Group Universities and a large percentage of students achieve above their expected grades.

Experience: After gaining a 2:1(Hons) as a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Edinburgh, I have been teaching as a fully qualified teacher in Economics and Business across both Independent schools and outstanding state schools and colleges for 17 years. In addition, I worked as a senior manager in the energy sector for over six years and so I have real experience of the business and economic environment which I believe helps me communicate my subject with concrete examples and hands-on knowledge of the subjects I teach.

I have extensive experience of teaching A Level Economics, A Level Business and GCSE Business and achieving very high grades in comparison to other institutions and examining in all of these areas across different exam boards. My examining experience allows me to signpost students to "quick wins" in their exam technique and helps to promote significant grade improvements; sometimes in a relatively short period of support.

I am a parent of two children who are now in Sixth Form and Higher Education. I believe my parenting experience also really helps me to provide a caring and empathetic tutoring experience in which I can support each student to achieve their greatest potential and adopt a positive mindset.
