About

With a 2:1 degree in Economics from Reading (2009) I have been tutoring for over 10 years now. Having started with just one student, I have gone on to teach over 50 students (from multiple websites) across the Reading, Marlow, Wokingham and Maidenhead areas.

Unlike other tutors, I only specialise in the subject I am qualified in and so only offer Economics tuition, meaning I`m up to date with the latest areas and syllabus requirements. I have taught students across Edexcel, OCR & AQA and had very good success with my students as my feedback shows.

Students come to me with different needs that range from:

  • Wanting to gain those extra few marks to reach a top grade

  • Struggling with the basic concepts and needing intensive support

  • Generally, a good understanding, but wanting to brush on a few areas

  • Understanding the topics, but struggling with exam technique

  • Lacking confidence and facing exam re-sits

Whatever the goal, I have never met a student whom I haven't been able to help improve.

Reviews from First Tutors

4.9 across 27 reviews

Imported from Andrew's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

    My daughter likes the fact that they are student ied and she can ask about any topic that needs addressing. Also Andrew explains difficult and theoretical concepts clearly so that she understands them and makes the subject interesting by using real world examples.

    We're so grateful for our daughter's economics tutor. Thanks to his expert guidance, she achieved an A* in her A Level mock exams. He helped her truly understand complex concepts with a patient, tailored approach. His dedication and encouragement boosted her confidence, and we highly recommend him for any student needing support in economics.

    Many thanks Jonathan, it’s been a real pleasure working with Amy and seeing her confidence grow!

    Andrew has tutored my daughter for her Economics A Level. Andrew is flexible in his approach, seeking to improve on her weak points in the subject. In short, my daughter and I believe Andrew has supported her to achieve an improved A Level grade.

    Andrew was an excellent teacher. He gave me the confidence I needed to realise I knew more than I thought. He was patient and kind, and extremely knowledgeable in his subject. I am now on target to get my A" in Economics, thank you so much Andrew, I really appreciate your time.

    Andrew replied

    Thank you so much Cian! Appreciate the kind words but as you say you knew it already, just needed the confidence. You know where I am if you need me!

    My son has recently started A-level economics tuition with Andrew and is finding the sessions really useful. He had been frustrated when his school teachers didn't have time to explain the more difficult concepts to him, so it has been very helpful to have Andrew take the time to explain them, which he does really clearly. He is feeling more confident now about Economics, the weakest of his three A-levels. He finds Andrew very approachable and I would definitely recommend him.

    Andrew replied

    Many thanks Clare, always great to hear when student confidence improves!

    My daughter has had four A' Level Economics online lessons with Andrew and we are very impressed. She says: he explains everything very clearly and she understands it as soon as he has explained it. He has helped her with some topics she was struggling with at college. He is an excellent teacher, very easy going with a friendly and approachable manner and at the same time he is professional, punctual and excellent at responding to questions. I would highly recommend Andrew.

    In a short period of time Andrew has boosted my son's confidence in economics by explaining topics that were not given enough time in school. Virtual online lessons are working well. There's no time wasted getting settled and the sessions are significantly more effective than the online schooling during COVID lock-downs as the tutoring is 1 to 1. We look forward to working with Andrew on exam technique as the tests approach. Thanks Andrew!

    My son has had several sessions with Andrew ahead of his year 12 end of year Economics A level exam. Andrew has an engaging and enthusiastic style of tutoring and his explanations are very clear. In just a few sessions Andrew has helped my son consolidate his understanding of the key topics in the subject. We’re really grateful for his help and would thoroughly recommend Andrew.

    Andrew tutored my son for A level Economics (Edexcel). He was flexible and explained complex topics in great detail. My son gained skills for essay writing and achieved higher marks after only a few sessions. We would have continued with Andrew if the national coronavirus emergency had not struck. I would highly recommend him.
