Deciding to engage the services of an Economics tutor is the crucial first step in supporting your child’s educational journey in the subject. Equally important, however, is choosing the best Economics tutor for your child.

We often put a great deal of time and energy into researching the best hotel for our next holiday. With something far more significant at stake, a child’s educational success, surely identifying the best Economics tutor should be given even more attention? There are, in fact, many similarities between identifying the perfect hotel and the perfect tutor.

Expertise

You want to be certain that your tutor has the background and ability to deliver success for your child. You should be considering their own educational background. Do they actually have a degree in Economics? Is it from a respected institution, such as Oxbridge? The best Economics tutors will have built up years of experience teaching pupils, giving them a mastery of delivering the subject in an engaging and effective manner. Top Economics tutors will also have spent time as examiners for public examination boards so they have the in-depth understanding of what is required to score top marks.

Reputation and a proven track record of success

You must be able to trust your tutor. An excellent Economics tutor will be able to demonstrate a track record of success. They must be able to point to the reviews from satisfied clients. There is nothing more powerful than a personal recommendation so if people you know and trust have had an excellent experience then this is the way to go.

A personal experience

Every child is unique. They have their own personality, their own learning style, their own needs. Will your Economics tutor be able to recognise this and then adjust to it? The best tutors will devote the time to understanding your child, allowing them to prepare and deliver a bespoke offering that will build confidence and deliver excellence. Does your Economics tutor know the precise details of the specific exam board your child is studying and are they adapting their teaching to it?

Communication and professionalism

Will your Economics tutor provide regular, comprehensive feedback in a timely manner? The best tutors will provide prompt and proactive communication that is personal to you. Your tutor must be able to devote the time to build a productive relationship with you and your child.

Location and convenience

If you are in London, does your Economics tutor have the capacity to visit in person? Many students prefer to work with a tutor in person and you should not compromise on this if it is what your child needs. Others prefer the convenience of learning online, and your tutor must be able to provide a seamless and equally engaging experience in this method too. Your child will have a busy schedule – is your Economics tutor willing to be flexible to fit in with them and to support them when they need it?

Specialism

The best Economics tutors are specialists in their field. It is not an easy subject and requires real knowledge and experience. Consider whether your Economics tutor is attempting to cater to everyone or if they recognise that to be a master requires specialism.

An Economics tutor can make all the difference to the success and enjoyment your child experiences in the subject. Putting the time into identifying the best Economics tutor for them is time well spent.
