Credentials for parents & applicants
A clear summary for parents and sixth-form students of the teaching experience, admissions track record and safeguarding behind the tuition, plus the academic background that supports it.
A-Level & admissions teaching
Extensive A-Level and TMUA tuition across OCR and Edexcel (other boards by request), focused on exam technique, the topics that cost marks, and a clear plan from a student's current grade to their target grade.
Structured preparation across both TMUA papers, mathematical reasoning, logic, proof-style thinking and working accurately at speed, with careful diagnosis of weaker areas and targeted practice between sessions.
Support for 100+ applicants to Oxbridge and other highly selective universities: mock interviews, written feedback, personal-statement review and mathematically precise economic reasoning.
Safeguarding & trust
Full Enhanced DBS certificate on the DBS Update Service (November 2025), available for verification by parents and schools on request.
Safeguarding courses completed with the National College, with experience working in a secondary school.
Structured one-to-one online sessions with a shared whiteboard and a short plan after each meeting, so parents and students always know the next step.
Academic background
The same person teaching A-Level and preparing applicants is a Cambridge-trained economist and former university lecturer. For Oxbridge Economics applicants in particular, this means first-hand experience of Cambridge study and admissions, not second-hand advice.
BA (First Class Honours, ranked second in the year group), MPhil and PhD in Economics, all at the University of Cambridge.
Teaching supervisor at the University of Cambridge (2009 to 2012), giving small-group supervisions in microeconomics and econometrics, direct insight into how Cambridge teaches and assesses.
Former lecturer in economics and econometrics at the University of Manchester and the University of St Andrews, so explanations are pitched precisely and accurately.
