Award-winning LSE class teacher with ~10,000 hours experience in economics tuition in London

Methodology

Winner of the LSE Teacher Award for "excellent teaching" and "outstanding student feedback", A-Level Examiner for AQA & Edexcel, and Forbes 30 Under 30 for my work in education.

After dropping out of school at 16, I achieved 4 A*s in my self-studied A Levels and won the Harvard Prize, scoring 98.2% (highest in the year), and got into LSE and Cambridge.

I graduated from LSE with the highest mark out of 1400+ students, winning the Economics Examiner Prize and the Rishi Madlani Award. I also got the highest mark for Public, Industrial and Macroeconomics.

Over the last 8 years, I have taught 200+ students privately and at LSE, helped 3000+ students through my online courses, and accrued ~10,000 hours of teaching experience.

My approach to tutoring is results-driven and grounded in the cognitive science behind how students really learn. We'll use a full suite of learning techniques - from mastery learning to spaced repetition, Socratic questioning, generation, the testing effect, active recall, mnemonics and more.

But it all starts with reverse engineering your exam. Once we understand the mechanics of your exam, scoring 100% is no more difficult than following a few well-practised steps.

Rates

Rate for online lessons : £95/h

Details

My rates are as follows:

One hour: £120/hour
5 hour package: £100/hour (£500 paid in advance)
10 hour package: £95/hour (£950 paid in advance)

University tutoring requires an enormous preparation effort (reviewing past papers, lectures, problem sets, structuring curriculum etc.) It's therefore difficult to offer one-off lessons at competitive rates but depending on your curriculum I'm always open to negotiating - all depends on your course.

Gina

Perfect! Andrew was a great teacher that helped me improve my essay and economics knowledge. Overall he is a great teacher that I would highly recommend.

Andrew's response

Gina was a wonderful student - her existing econ knowledge was very impressive and glad I could help her improve her essay-writing skills.

Nacho

Perfect! Andrew is an amazing teacher with a deep knowledge of economics. Together we created a comprehensive series of 1st class model answers and extremely detailed notes, spanning my entire course curriculum (lectures, tutorials and even the academic readings). Needless to say, the exam was a breeze!

3 years ago I was working on minimum wage at B&Q after dropping out of school with two U grades. Andrew told me to quit and follow my passion – videography. Over the next 3 years he showed me step-by-step how to turn this passion into a successful videography and social media business, now working with JD Sports & Red Bull on 6-figure contracts. It’s just crazy to think where I started. Andrew completely changed my life.

Atiqa

Extremely happy with my progression in economics. I was recommended by a fellow student. Within 6 months my mock grade in 6 th form when from a B/C TO A/A* in 7th form. My concerns regarding theory and application in exams has been successfully addressed! Really recommend!!

Rupi

Andrew was a fantastic tutor for both myself and my sister whom he tutored for a second year microeconomics course at the LSE. We both found him to not only display a passion for the subject itself, but he displayed a key understanding of different learning requirements and was able to tailor his lessons and adjust accordingly to specific learning approaches something I have not found very common. I would highly recommend Andrew as a teacher as well as his teaching methods, and explanations which were a lot more simplified than those offered by the university itself. Thanks for being such a great tutor Andrew!

Tiffany

Andrew is always ready to invest himself to ensure his students achieve their goals. He uses the best and most effective learning techniques to ensure that by the end of the lesson you feel confident and ready to go. In just 2 lessons with Andrew, I went from 0 to 100 and now have a detailed study plan to help me with the next two years at university.

Interview with Andrew

QUESTION 01 | 07

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

Andrew — When I was 17! I started helping my friends and younger students who couldn't understand maths and economics the way schools teach it. I made it intuitive, using current real world examples, and after seeing the results I was inspired to continue and become the best teacher possible.

QUESTION 02 | 07

Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

Andrew — I teach Maths, Economics and Entrepreneurship. I love helping students see the intuition behind academic theories and help wannabe entrepreneurs get off the ground and start the company they've always wanted to build.

QUESTION 03 | 07

Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

Andrew — I had a lecturer at LSE who taught me about Socratic teaching: instead of telling students that X is the answer, you ask students subtle questions to get them to work out the answer themselves until finally they reach this wonderful "Aha!" moment.

QUESTION 04 | 07

What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

Andrew — Patience, a deep understanding of cognitive science, the ability to rapidly deconstruct a syllabus and reverse engineer an exam, clarity of communication, and great interpersonal skills.

QUESTION 05 | 07

What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

Andrew — With economics, I started off terribly. I didn't get any of the intuition - I just saw lines on a graph and big words. But when I got to see what's behind all the fancy academic pretense, I found a beautiful subject able to capture and model complex human behaviour with immense simplicity.

QUESTION 06 | 07

Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

Andrew — I have a passion for learning. I've learned chess, portrait art, boxing, chess boxing (yes, this is a real thing!), several languages like Spanish and Tamil; I'm now learning the piano, music production, starting my own podcast - I just love learning new skills.

QUESTION 07 | 07

What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?

Andrew — 10,000 hours of experience as an award-winning teacher at LSE and private tutor for almost 10 years now! Above that, for whatever reason, I just really care about helping students do well - you'd think I cared more about the exam than they did. And I just love doing things the best way possible - finding optimal revision strategies, solving problems, "hacking" exams - I just love it!
