The greatest benefit of studying with a tutor is personalised attention to your needs. After talking to you and assessing your performance with various tasks, they can identify the areas you are struggling with. The key to your success is to address these weaknesses.
Your tutor may, for example, clarify economic concepts where your understanding is not sufficient, provide practice with calculations, or focus on improving your data analysis. All of these aspects are integral parts of both your coursework and assessment, and it is vital to get the hang of them. It is impossible to achieve the same support in the traditional classroom setting, especially if you feel you are falling behind.
What’s even more important, a private tutor always considers your style when designing their lessons. For instance, if they notice you learn better when you are actively involved in discussions, they will encourage dialogue and help you explore concepts collaboratively. Along with this, they rely on various additional materials (such as case studies, visual aids, real-world examples, articles from specialised magazines, etc.) to make the material more relatable. If some concepts don’t click right away, the tutor can suggest a different perspective or approach until everything becomes clear.
When it comes to improving exam performance, a tutor’s assistance is also invaluable. Often, it is not the lack of knowledge that prevents you from getting a desired grade, but the lack of experience with the exam format. Luckily, our A-Level Economics tutors are here to help you understand the assessment format, frequent topics, types of questions, time and mark allocations, etc. What’s even more important, many of our tutors are actual examiners who know the assessment process inside out. They can guide you through it and teach how to meet examiners’ expectations.
