Tutor Profile

Ranulph

Private Business Related and Economics Tutor in Exeter

I am a father of four and a fully qualified teacher turned full-time private tutor with Enhanced DBS Clearance. I am an enthusiastic tutor who has an excellent track record in helping students achieve, or exceed, their target grades. Finally, I have fibre broadband for an excellent online experience.

Teaching Experience

I have 4 years experience as an AQA A-level Economics examiner. I am also a fully qualified teacher and have taught and tutored both children and adults since 2011. My specialisms are A-level Economics and Business Studies but I have also prepared candidates for Oxbridge entry. I also taught many tutees with various SEND needs.

I have tutored both the domestic and international exam boards for many years including: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, EDUQAS, WJEC, CIE, International Edexcel, IB, Pre-U and SEB.

I have tutored online for over 4500 hours and find that for Economics and Business Studies it is as good as in person, if not better, since it is much easier to send model paragraphs and diagrams.

Tutoring Approach

I endeavour to make sure my students feel as comfortable as possible and encourage them to ask questions because asking questions is the best way to learn. My sessions are always tailored to the students' individual requirements and are focused around the specific requirements of the exam. Parents often remark that their child is much more confident with the subject following sessions with me.

Ranulph is an excellent tutor. Very organised and professional. He is very clear at explaining concepts and has a very good understanding of exam technique. Highly recommended.

Ranulph has tutored my son Stewart on Edexcel A level Economics for the past 4 months. Stewart loves studying Economics so it was unfortunate when we realised that the quality of the Economics teaching and departmental support rather weak at his school. Fortunately we found Ranulph who has given invaluable support and guidance to Stewart. During his sessions Ranulph has developed Stewarts understanding, focused him on Exam technique and boosted his confidence to the point that he now feels fully prepared for his forthcoming Exams.After each session whether it be face to face or via SKYPE , Stewart always comments on how very beneficial and helpful he has found them to be. Both Stewart and myself would highly recommend Ranulph.

From the minute I contacted Ranulph he has been very quick to respond and has been very helpful and professional in his dealings with both me and my daughter. We exchanged a series of emails where Ranulph set out his services etc. He was happy for me to attend the first session and was very flexible in terms of lesson venues/dates etc. The work set has been at a good pace for my daughter with Ranulph working with her to identify gaps in her knowledge across the syllabus. Homework has also been set to ensure understanding and gets the most out of the tutoring sessions. Yet to complete the exam but my daughter is a lot happier and more confident with her subject knowledge in Economics - this has been validated by her form tutor at school who has noticed big strides in the level of her work. I would definitely recommend Ranulph to anybody that needs help with their studies. Thanks Ranulph.
