Paul

Fully qualified and experienced (25 years+) teacher and tutor of all Economics, Business and Finance subjects with clear evidence of current success. I have over 15 recent parental and student reviews stating that I will support all tutees in a clear , fun and motivational way linked to exam and life success. Experience has taught me that building confidence and trust is key to succesful tutoring. As a parent I have also expereinced two children going through GCSE,A Levels and degrees.

Teaching Experience

I really want you to enjoy my sessions and also find that extra confidence to achieve. I tailor my tutoring around how you wish to learn, by setting targets and teaching in a style that you ask for to create a truly personalised approach. To add value, I use fun and interactive activities linked to the exam questions.

To help create the very best experience for each session, I use personalised assessment for learning techniques with a focus on your starting points. Last year I enjoyed working with several excellent students that received either A*, A, B or C at A level and 6-9 at GCSE. Recent results have moved all my learners at least one grade boundary after 5 hours of tuition.

I have over 15 recent 100% reviews, some are in the process of being added, from a previous site, First Tutors, that sadly close in May 26. Please see the bottom of this page * I have taught all the main exam boards, and my resources are updated for today`s business world. Currently I am supporting students with Economics, Business Studies, Accountancy and Politics plus Human Geography and Business English.

We can work on targets and follow accelerated learner techniques to meet exam-based demands with a professional but fun style. I have learned that building confidence and trust is key to success and enjoyment. I hold a Enhanced DBS certificate that has yearly ongoing checks.

I am a fully qualified teacher with 25 years experience at GCSE and A level (14- to 19-year-olds) and IB, working in the UK and abroad. My previous roles as a teacher trainer, secondary school teacher and a tutor for special and gifted learners. I also have further experience as a GCSE and A Level examiner. As a teacher I was also a staff coach and trainer for a full range of courses offered in the post 16 sector. I gained Employer of the Year in 2010 and in 2011 a Career Academy Honorary Alumni for outstanding contribution to Financial Service links between employers and young professional I believe that I can add at least two higher grade boundaries to your present results and learning. Recent results have moved all my learners at least one grade boundary after 5 hours tuition. Last year I worked with students that increased their mock grades by at least 3 grades after 5 weekly sessions with some gaining A and A*in the final exams. I use face to face and Teams and other online interactive apps to enhance grades and learning over the last year. I currently have customers that regularly use the online sessions and find them interesting and improve their grades at a fast pace. I hope I can help in whatever format you wish to use. I have two children that have studied A Levels and a degree.

Sean - May 2026 Paul is attentive, patient and extremely friendly. Lessons were tailored to tackle my weaknesses in economics and business studies, were catered for my learning style, and Paul was always more than happy to mark my answer attempts and answer any questions promptly outside of tutor times, giving useful feedback on each. He is quick to identify where marks are being dropped in answers, and with useful pointers that were easy to remember throughout my studies, I was able to reach the top band of marks consistently in my answers, and my understanding of economics and business studies began to click soon after my first few sessions. I’d highly recommend using Paul as your tutor for the subjects he offers support for, his sessions and support will absolutely increase the grades of any tutee and bring out their maximum potential, regardless of their current ability.

Mina - May 2026 We are extremely grateful for the outstanding support and guidance provided by Paul. Their knowledge of Business Studies is exceptional, and they explain complex concepts in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. My son has gained not only a stronger understanding of the subject but also greater confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Their patience, professionalism, and dedication to student success truly stand out. I highly recommend them to any student looking for high-quality business tutoring. “Thank you, Paul,'

Paul D- parent- May 2026

Paul has been an excellent tutor for my son, supporting him in both Economics and Business Studies in preparation for his A Levels. From the outset, he built a strong rapport and created a relaxed but focused learning environment, which really helped engagement. His knowledge of the subjects and, crucially, the exam process was invaluable. He provided clear guidance using past papers, reinforced key content effectively, and shared practical exam techniques that made a real difference. Most importantly, Paul significantly boosted my son’s confidence going into the exams. He felt well prepared and much more assured in his approach thanks to Paul’s support. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and personable tutor.

Sarah - parent Great tutor for my son. Tailored the sessions to suit his learning style and massively increased his confidence in Economics as well as his grade. Would highly recommend. October 25.

Rehana- 2025 My son is neurodiverse and finding suitable tutors has always been a challenge. Paul is an excellent tutor who is passionate about helping his students. He builds their confidence and understanding of the subject and helps develop strategies and practice in answering exam questions. He gives plenty of resources to help and marks homework. He has a positive approach, evaluates progress and gives ongoing feedback. My son was predicted a grade D in A level Economics and attained a grade B thanks to Paul’s tutoring support. I would highly recommended Paul. (August 24)

Ruby - 2025 Paul helped me achieve an A* at A level economics. His lessons were very interactive and allowed me to engage in a creative way, helping me remember concepts more easily. He also focused on getting me very confident with the exam technique, helping me achieve such an amazing grade. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Owen - 2024 I had Paul guiding me throughout my second year of college. I was predicted to fail my exams after year 1 so knew that I needed extra support. Paul made economics, as a whole, much easier to understand and broke it down perfectly, relating topics to things that interested me like sport. This helped me pick up knowledge much quicker than normal which helped me achieve the grades I needed for Uni. I would definitely recommend Paul’s services if you need an extra boost for economics! (Dec 2024)

Lukas- 2019/20 Paul tutored me in Economics for my A-levels for the best part of a year and was great. Really clear in his explanations, listened to the things I specifically wanted to work on and kept every session really engaging. Would recommend to anyone considering Paul as a tutor.

Tutoring Approach

Experience has taught me that building confidence and trust is key. We can work from your own starting point and develop fun and relevant ways of learning to meet your own needs.. I tailor my tutoring on how you wish to learn by teaching in a style that you ask for to create a truly personalised approach. To add value, I use fun and personalised assessment for learning techniques with a focus on your starting points, setting targets and marking work as we progress.

Paul is an excellent tutor, he explains the topics really well and he set targets for my son. My son has missed a lot due to sickness but he is catching up really fast with Paul’s help. Paul also send feedback to myself which help me understand where he is at. I would definitely recommend Paul.
