Economics, Business & Finance with a UCL PhD | A Level, IB and University

From 178 C$ /h

I have been tutoring Economics, Business and Finance for 20 years, from GCSE and A Level to undergraduate and postgraduate level.

My background: PhD in Economics (UCL), MPhil in Management with Distinction (University of Cambridge, Judge Business School), MSc with Distinction (University of Oxford) and a First Class BA in Economics and Business (UCL). I taught undergraduate economics at UCL and Queen Mary, University of London, and I am an OCR A Level examiner.

What I cover
• A Level, IB (SL and HL) and GCSE Economics and Business
• University Economics: microeconomics, macroeconomics, industrial economics, financial institutions
• Finance and accounting at undergraduate and postgraduate level
• Guidance on essays, coursework, IB Internal Assessments, Extended Essays and dissertations
• University applications: personal statements and Oxbridge interview preparation

How I work
The first session is diagnostic. I look at your recent marked work or a past paper to see where marks are being lost. For strong students, the gap is usually exam technique rather than knowledge: building a full chain of analysis, evaluating properly and reaching a clear judgement. From there we set a plan around your exam dates.

Lessons are online, one to one, and built around your own syllabus and materials.

Send me a message through Apprentus with your level, exam board and what you would like to work on.

About Me

I am an economist and tutor with 20 years of experience teaching Economics, Business and Finance, from GCSE and A Level to postgraduate level.

My lessons are calm, structured and built around the student. I start by finding out exactly where marks are being lost, then we work on that directly, using your own syllabus, past papers and marked work. I explain ideas clearly and in more than one way, and I expect students to do the thinking, so they leave each session able to apply what we covered on their own.

I enjoy working with motivated students who want to move from a good grade to a top one, and with students who have lost confidence and need a clear plan. I also work with university students on essays, dissertations and exam preparation.

Lessons are online. Send me a message through Apprentus with your level and what you would like to work on.

Finance & Accounting Tutor | University, Masters and A Level | Cambridge MPhil, UCL PhD

178 C$ /h

I have 20 years of experience tutoring Economics, Business and Finance, and I teach finance from A Level through to Masters level.

My finance background: MPhil in Management with Distinction from the University of Cambridge (Judge Business School), where I studied Accounting and Finance, Financial Reporting, Capital Markets and Strategic Valuation. I also hold a PhD in Economics from UCL, and I taught Financial Institutions to undergraduates at Queen Mary, University of London. I have also worked in equity research and asset management, so I can show how the theory is used in practice.

What I cover
• Corporate finance: time value of money, NPV and IRR, cost of capital, capital structure, dividend policy
• Valuation: DCF, multiples, company analysis
• Financial reporting and accounting: financial statements, ratio analysis, cash flow
• Capital markets, portfolio theory, CAPM, bonds and derivatives basics
• Banking, money and financial institutions
• The finance units of A Level Business and IB Business Management
• Guidance on finance essays, coursework and dissertations
• Interview preparation for finance and consulting roles, including case studies and numerical tests

How I work
We start with your course outline and recent work to see where you are losing marks or getting stuck. Many students can follow the formulas but struggle to decide which method to use or how to interpret the result. We work on that directly, using your own problem sets and past papers.

Lessons are online and one to one. Send me a message through Apprentus with your course, level and what you would like to work on.

I specialized in tutoring Microeconomics and Macroeconomics for students in IB and AP programs. I have students from various high schools in Turkey and besides that I also teach AP Microeconomics&Macroeconomics at a high school in Istanbul. I have a PhD in economics from Georgetown University and I have worked as an Associate Professor of Economics and Finance in various universities in Turkey.
With 10 years of experience as a Professor of Economics I do not let the students memorize the concepts. Instead I ensure that they get the logic and they are able to apply theoretical concepts to real life issues.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I am a professional professor of economics in Poland since 2005. I teach Economics HL and SL in the IB program in one of the best schools in Warsaw since 2013. I can explain your doubts and help you with the Internal Assessments. I don't speak Spanish, I only speak English.
I graduated from Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie (Warsaw School of Economics) and have completed all the necessary trainings for the previous and current syllabus.
All the classes are based on what you need to know for your final IB exam, but I explain it in an unconventional way so that you understand better. I adjust the methodology to each my student. I have a lot of experience teaching groups and individuals. All my students always get good grades on Internal Assessments and final exams.

► EXPERT BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS TUTOR FROM SWITZERLAND
► IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUPPORT

I completed my Master’s degree in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, where my academic background strongly combined business, finance, economics, mathematics, analytical thinking and problem-solving. This technical and business-oriented foundation shaped the way I teach today: clearly, logically and with a strong focus on real understanding.

For many years, I have successfully supported students in Business Studies, Accounting, Finance and Economics. As a tutor from Switzerland, I bring a structured, patient and highly individual teaching style to students who want to improve their grades, prepare for important exams and build real confidence in business-related subjects.

My lessons are designed for students who want more than just memorizing definitions and formulas. I focus on understanding business concepts, applying financial logic, interpreting economic relationships and solving accounting problems step by step.

► EXAM PREPARATION & ACADEMIC SUPPORT

► IGCSE BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING & ECONOMICS
I help students build a strong foundation in business concepts, financial calculations and economic thinking. My lessons include clear theory explanations, topic-by-topic revision and exam-style practice to prepare students confidently for their assessments.

► A-LEVEL BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, ECONOMICS & FINANCE
A-Level subjects require strong analytical thinking, clear written arguments and confident application of theory to real business situations. I support students with structured revision, essay technique, calculation practice, case-study analysis and preparation for demanding exams.

► INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE — IB BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & ECONOMICS
I provide structured support for IB students, focusing on deep understanding, strong terminology, analytical writing and exam technique. Students learn how to explain concepts clearly, analyse case studies, evaluate decisions and structure high-quality answers.

► INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAMMES
I support students following international, bilingual and private school curricula in Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, Finance, Commerce and Management. Since every school can have different expectations, I adapt my teaching to the student’s syllabus, textbook, teacher requirements and exam format.

► UNIVERSITY & FOUNDATION COURSES
For older students, I offer support in Accounting, Corporate Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Financial Management, Statistics and quantitative business modules. I help students understand difficult theory, solve assignments, prepare for exams and develop strong analytical skills.

► HOW I TEACH

► I FOCUS ON REAL UNDERSTANDING, NOT MEMORISATION.
I explain business, accounting and economic concepts step by step so students understand the logic behind the theory and can apply it confidently in exams.

► I CONNECT THEORY WITH REAL BUSINESS EXAMPLES.
Business and economics become easier when students can see how concepts work in real life. I use practical examples to make topics clear, relevant and memorable.

► I SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CALCULATIONS.
In Accounting and Finance, I break calculations into clear steps so students understand what is given, which formula is needed and how to reach the final answer correctly.

► I TRAIN EXAM TECHNIQUE CAREFULLY.
Students learn how to structure answers, use key terminology, analyse case studies, justify decisions and manage time under exam conditions.

► I ADAPT EVERY LESSON TO THE STUDENT.
Every student learns differently, so I adjust my explanations, pace, examples and practice questions to match the student’s exact level and goals.

► YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS

Over the years, I have successfully supported students from prestigious schools and demanding academic programmes, helping them strengthen their understanding, master exam techniques and achieve excellent progress in Business Studies, Accounting, Finance and Economics.

► ONLINE LESSONS

► Interactive whiteboard
► Clear digital notes
► Personalised exercises
► Exam-style practice
► Flexible lesson structure

Online lessons are structured, personal and highly effective. Students can ask questions directly, follow every step in real time and review the materials after the lesson.

I offer accounting courses for secondary school students, particularly in vocational training, as well as for first-year bachelor's students at university or college.

The objective is to help the pupil or student understand accounting logic, master important entries and know how to solve exercises in a structured way, whether for a quiz, an exam, a qualification or a refresher course.

I primarily support pupils and students who wish to review the basics, better understand accounting mechanisms and practice on typical exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Basics of accounting:
debit/credit, asset and liability accounts, expenses and revenues, chart of accounts, account logic, supporting documents and reading statements.

• Journal and accounting entries:
recording of current operations, purchases, sales, payments, receipts, VAT, customer and supplier accounts, entries with or without discount.

• VAT and commercial transactions:
VAT to be recovered, VAT to be paid, purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes, trade discounts, rebates, incidental expenses and calculations related to commercial transactions.

• Depreciation:
straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, depreciation schedules, depreciation charges, net book value and year-end entries.

• Provisions and adjustments:
provisions, deferred charges, accrued income, charges to be allocated, deferred income, inventory entries and year-end adjustments.

• Balance sheet and income statement:
construction of the balance sheet, assets/liabilities, equity, debts, expenses, revenues, profit or loss for the year, link between the income statement and the balance sheet.

• Basic financial analysis:
working capital, working capital requirement (WCR), net cash, simple ratios, reading and interpretation of financial statements.

• Cash flow:
operating cash flow, investment cash flow, financing cash flow, distinction between accounting profit and cash flow.

• Exam/qualification preparation:
Typical exercises, past quizzes, exams, case studies, problem-solving methods, guided correction and identification of common errors.

I can also help with economics depending on the level and program, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomics: supply and demand, elasticities, costs, competition, market, growth, inflation, economic policy and basic models.

Method of working :

1. We identify the chapters that pose a problem;
2. I will re-explain the accounting logic with simple examples;
3. We redo the exercises step by step;
4. I show how to recognize the type of writing or calculation required;
5. We construct a clear method so that the student can do it on their own.

I do not limit myself to giving a correction: I explain the reasoning behind each writing and each calculation so that the subject becomes more logical and less mechanical.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I also have a degree from Solvay/ULB and professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte, which allows me to explain accounting with an approach that is academic, university-level, and practical.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.
