Tutor Profile

Conor

Private Maths and Economics Tutor in London

Hello, I'm Conor. I am a full-time teacher of Mathematics and Economics at an OFSTED Outstanding secondary school in South London, where I have been recognised as an Outstanding teacher. I currently lead the Business and Economics department and oversee Economics across 20 schools within our trust, helping to shape the education of over 1,000 students.

I graduated from the University of Exeter with a degree in Economics and Finance before completing a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. Prior to teaching, I worked in investment banking and corporate finance, giving me valuable real-world experience that I bring into my lessons. I achieved A* grades in both Economics and Business at A Level and have now spent over a decade helping students achieve their academic goals through tutoring.

Whether you're looking for support with GCSE or A-Level Maths, Economics or Business, my aim is simple: to build confidence, develop understanding and help students achieve the very best grades they are capable of.

Teaching Experience

I have over ten years of tutoring experience alongside my classroom teaching career, working with students of all abilities from those needing to build confidence through to those aiming for the highest grades. As a Head of Department and Trust-wide Economics Lead, I spend every day thinking about how students learn most effectively and how to help them achieve excellent outcomes.

Many of my students go on to exceed their predicted grades, with improvements of two grades being common. I have helped students move from E grades to A grades, and from struggling with core concepts to becoming confident and independent learners. My experience as a classroom teacher allows me to quickly identify misconceptions and target the areas that will make the biggest difference to progress.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring style is calm, supportive and highly focused on results. I believe students perform best when they genuinely understand a topic rather than simply memorising methods. One of the most rewarding things I hear is, "It finally makes sense now!" and helping students reach those lightbulb moments is something I genuinely enjoy.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual student. Some need support filling knowledge gaps, whilst others need help refining exam technique and maximising marks. Alongside building subject knowledge, I place a strong emphasis on exam skills, confidence and applying learning to real-world situations, helping students not only improve their grades but also develop a deeper understanding of the subject.

Conor was an excellent tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with A-Level Economics. His tuition helped her progress from a C to an A by the end of Year 13, despite significant barriers to her learning. I would highly recommend Conor as an Economics tutor.

Conor has tutored my daughter for her A-Level in Economics as she retook the exams this year. He has been amazing through the entire process and has really helped her improved her abilities in a short period of time. She started with a C grade and ended with a B, just one point below an A grade. We are very grateful for his excellent support. Highly recommended!

I have had Conor tutor me for my GCSE Maths and, more recently, AS Economics. I can say that I wouldn’t have been able to pass Maths without him. The transition to help me during Year 12 for Economics to online rather than face to face tuition has worked very well. Thanks so much, Conor!

Conor recently began tutoring my daughter Matilda in Economics. She was lacking in confidence with some key microeconomic concepts but his friendly, calm and encouraging approach has really helped her to improve. He has been a very adaptable tutor during the pandemic and worked to accommodate Matilda's sessions online and the quality of his sessions remains outstanding despite these changes. Conor's professionalism and commitment in seeing his pupils succeed is second to none and Matilda looks forward to the sessions every week. Strongly recommend!

Conor is an excellent tutor and has tutored my daughter for the past 12 months. He has a caring, thoughtful approach combined with a strong ability to convey key ideas exceptionally well. I cannot recommend him more highly. He is extremely professional and an outstanding tutor.
