Dr Nicky Grant is a Cambridge PhD economist with over 12 years of university lecturing experience at the University of St Andrews and University of Manchester. He offers expert online economics tuition at all levels from GCSE through to postgraduate, covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, mathematical economics, and econometric statistics.

Can Dr Nicky Grant help with A Level Economics?

Yes. Dr Grant tutors A Level Economics covering microeconomics (markets, firms, price mechanism), macroeconomics (GDP, inflation, monetary and fiscal policy), and quantitative economics (data interpretation, index numbers, macroeconomic model evaluation). Sessions are tailored to the specific exam board. AQA, Edexcel, or OCR.

Does Dr Nicky Grant tutor statistics?

Yes. Statistics tuition covers probability, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, regression analysis, and statistical inference, both at A Level and at university level. For more advanced econometric statistics (OLS, GMM, time series), see the dedicated econometrics tutor page.

What is the difference between economics and econometrics tutoring?

Economics tuition covers the theory and principles of economic behaviour, supply and demand, game theory, macroeconomic models, welfare economics. Econometrics tuition focuses on the statistical methods used to test and estimate economic models. OLS regression, instrumental variables, time series analysis. Dr Grant offers expert tuition in both, and many students need elements of each.

Can I get help with my economics or statistics dissertation?

Yes. Sessions develop the understanding of economic theory, quantitative methods, and analytical reasoning that dissertation work calls on. The goal is that students can engage confidently with their own data and methodology, and explain their choices independently. The free initial consultation identifies exactly where to focus.

Why Dr Grant

The advantage of
genuine expertise

Cambridge economist, not just a tutor

A Cambridge BA, MPhil and PhD in Economics. Dr Grant uses economic theory and statistical methods daily in research. The depth of understanding this produces changes how difficult material can be explained.

Designed economics modules from scratch

At Manchester and St Andrews, Dr Grant designed and led entire economics curricula, not just delivered lectures. He knows what is tested, what is misunderstood, and where students reliably lose marks.

Economics and statistics as one subject

Most tutors handle either economics theory or statistics. Dr Grant handles both, and, crucially, understands how they connect. Statistical methods only make sense once you understand what economic question they are answering.

Every level, genuinely

GCSE economics revision, A Level essay technique, undergraduate micro exams, postgraduate statistics coursework. All are accommodated. The free consultation establishes what is actually needed and builds the plan from there.

Questions

Economics & statistics tuition FAQ

I need help with A Level Economics, can you help?

Yes. A Level Economics sessions cover both micro and macro, tailored to your specific exam board. Typical focus areas are exam technique (especially extended writing and data response), applying economic theory to real-world contexts, and past paper practice. The free consultation establishes which board you are on and what is holding your grade back.

I'm struggling with statistics at university, is this different from econometrics?

Mathematical statistics and econometrics overlap substantially. Hypothesis testing, OLS regression, confidence intervals, and distributional theory are all covered in both. For introductory and intermediate statistics, sessions here are exactly right. For more specialised econometric methods (GMM, time series, IV), see the dedicated econometrics page.

I have an economics exam next week, is there time to help?

Yes, intensive exam preparation is one of the most common requests. Get in touch immediately. Sessions can run daily if needed in the days before an exam, focusing on the highest-yield topics and exam technique rather than comprehensive coverage.
