Alright, budding economists, let's dive into the mystical world of supply and demand curves, monetary policies, and the invisible hand! As a recent graduate from the London School of Economics with a BSc in Economics and an undergraduate-level Economics tutor, I assure you, you're in good hands. Below is a comprehensive guide to A-Level Economics and the benefits of A-Level Economics tutoring.
Why You Need an A-Level Economics Tutor
Let's face it, understanding Economics is one thing, but applying it is another. You might find supply and demand easy, but when you're asked to apply this to the oil crisis, you could be left scratching your head. In my experience, one-on-one tutoring is essential at this point to learn how to translate your thought processes onto paper.
Personalised Learning
One of the challenges with A-Level Economics is the diverse knowledge levels in a classroom. Some students have a preexisting interest in Economics and the financial sector, which helps tremendously, while others might not have understood it well before taking the course. I was definitely in the latter camp, so hang in there.
With an A-Level Economics tutor, you get a tailored experience that isn't possible in a 30-to-1 classroom setting. Your tutor will cater to your specific needs, ensuring you understand every part of the curriculum.
Flexible Scheduling
Our tutors understand that students have busy schedules. You can check the availability of a tutor before booking a session, allowing you to choose a time that fits your schedule and minimizes the need for rescheduling.
Exam Strategy
Oh no, the dreaded multiple-choice questions. The questions where all four answers could be right, and you're asked which is most likely. These are designed to trick you. Luckily, our tutors have been through this process and excelled. All our tutors have scored A or A* in their A-Level Economics exams, so they know how to tackle these questions and get full marks.
What to Expect from an A-Level Economics Tutor at The Degree Gap

- Progress Tracking: Keep tabs on your progress with regular feedback and progress reports. Over time, your tutor will build a detailed report on your development. For parents, this offers complete peace of mind. We provide honest feedback on the student's progress to help build an accurate picture of which universities or courses to apply for.
How to Make the Most of Your Tutoring Sessions
To maximise the effectiveness of your classes, we suggest a few things:
- Come Prepared: Bring your questions, your homework, and an open mind. The more you engage, the more you’ll learn. Plus, tutors love proactive students.
- Be Open: If you struggle with Monetary Policy, be honest with your tutor. Remember, they are trained to meet you with empathy and understanding.
- Practice, Practice, Practice: Economics isn't just theory; it's about applying it. As an A-Level Economics student, take an active interest in world markets, monetary policy, and the stock market. Try to apply classroom knowledge to the news around you—trust me, it’s easily done!
Final Thoughts
Cracking the code with an A-Level Economics tutor is the ultimate cheat code to getting into a top Economics university.
