Francis

I am a graduate of New College Oxford where I studied Politics Economics and Philosophy obtaining my Class 2/1 BA (hons) degree in 1975-79. I also completed an Master of Philosophy dissertation - History and Economics - at the London School of Economics (part time) in 1985. My teaching qualification, PGCE, was completed a year after I came down from Oxford in 1980.

I have been teaching economics since 1980 in both the private and state sectors and have broad experience of both A-level and IB Diploma courses. I was also an assistant examiner in Economics A-level for the old AEB (Associated Examining Board) during the 1980s. I am now semi-retired but looking for part time tutoring work, which I have been engaged in since the millennium. This has usually consisted evening work, and sometimes daytime tuition, in the South West London / North East Surrey area.

I teach all the boards and all levels of ability and am willing to travel up to 10 miles outside of my home area, which is Wallington in Surrey without additional travel fees. Anything further requires a £3 fee.

Availability: Evenings - 5 nights a week. Some weekends, week-days 12 to 2.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: 30+ years teaching in colleges of Further Education, Sixth form colleges and private schools, sixth form only. Teaching A-level, GCSE, and IB Diploma economics. Writing (including book reviews) on economic/political themes below
