About Shrijit

Currently pursuing an MSc in Economics at the University of Birmingham. I have been tutoring students throughout my higher education in India. I attended an international school where I did my Levels. I ranked within the top 5 percentile in the world in Economics A-levels in the Cambridge International Examinations. I have experience in teaching GCSE, A-levels, IBDP and Advanced Placement.

About the lesson

I give online lessons to IGCSE, A-level, CIE AQA and Edexcel Economics, as well as IB and to undergraduate students in economics. My goal is to give you a thorough knowledge, profound understanding of economics and develop the analytical skills required to get a top grade A-LEVEL ECONOMICS AQA / EDEXCEL I have tutored several students sitting both of these exam boards throughout the past few years. I am very familiar with the intricacies of each exam board, both in terms of the content assessed and the relevant exam technique for each exam board. Depending on the student’s initial level and needs, I have provided details below on the kinds of help I have offered and currently offer: 1) Help with understanding content. Whether you are struggling to understand the concepts in class, or want to work on achieving the top grades, I am happy to help explain the economics course concepts. I have worked with students starting anywhere from an E or U grade up to an A or A* grade, and have learnt how to adapt the teaching to students depending on their level and how they like to be taught. I know the course content for both Edexcel and AQA A-level Economics at a detailed level. After the tuition sessions, I am happy to reinforce content learnt with homework, subject to the preferences and time constraints of the student regarding homework. I really enjoy economics and am very willing to share my passion for this subject with you. 2) Help with exam technique. I teach the four key skills for both these exam boards of knowledge, application, analysis and evaluation. I share what it takes to achieve a top mark in each style of question. I can focus sessions on particular skills. For example, what precisely makes a good chain of analysis? What exactly is evaluation, and what are some steps to make your evaluation solid? What are some good examples to reinforce or counter economic theory, to meet the application criterion? For AQA, the strategies for all types of exam questions in papers 1, 2 and 3 can be discussed at length, with a particular focus on 25 mark questions since they make up such a large proportion of the total marks. For Edexcel, it is important to learn not just the marks allocated for each skill in each question, but specifically what is required to achieve top marks for each skill. I try to translate vague mark schemes and teacher guidance into actionable steps. 3) Preparing for mock exams, in-school tests or final exams. In the lead up to a test, I am happy to give content revision sessions covering large parts of the course. I am happy to set practice tests for my students to do outside of tuition time and mark them before our next session. Students typically really benefit from practice tests, once they have learnt the key exam technique skills in the tuition sessions and can put them into practice. I am happy to use past papers or make my own tests, in past paper format or otherwise, to support the student. This has been particularly valuable in the pandemic where schools have set their own stylised exam tests which have not necessarily followed the past paper structure, allowing my students to better prepare themselves for in-school assessments. I try to give detailed feedback on any past papers, practice papers or tests you submit to me, especially where there are lots of improvements to make. Such feedback focuses on actionable steps. 4) Dealing with timed exam conditions. One common issue is running out of time. This could be because the student is overwriting, because of a lack of awareness of time, or needing to learn the content more closely. Where this is a problem, I try to diagnose the reasons for this by looking at samples of work to see whether the student is overwriting and then recommend where they can cut their responses if needed. I can also give the aforementioned practice tests to my students in timed conditions, where the test is sent home via email at the start of a timed period and the answers are emailed back to me at the end of this timed period. I hope this helps students manage time better in the exam. For AQA Economics, being concise on 9 and 15 mark questions and working out how much to write for 25 mark questions is important. For Edexcel Economics, leaving enough time for a solid section C essay, by saving time in section A and by being concise on the early questions in section B in papers 1 and 2 is typically the greatest time-related challenge for students. I am happy to set and mark homework to reinforce learning, adjusted according to how busy the student is. I am happy to give feedback on work the student is doing or essays they have attempted in class. If the student comes to me part way through the course, then a good starting point is usually to see samples of written work from their economics course. This helps me to assess their initial level and where I can help. This will usually form part of the initial session. From there we can proceed according to the needs of the student.

Shrijit is possibly the only reason I am passing my IB boards. His help and constant support not only gave me a clear understanding of the subject but even inspired me to pursue economics in college. He makes the hardest concepts, relatable, and goes out of his way to give his students a broader idea of the concept no matter how long it takes or whether it's even in the syllabus!

In the beginning, I hated studying O-level economics, and I was barely passing. I was overwhelmed by the complexities of the subject, and I felt like I wasn't making any progress.

I found Shrijit because my brother had said that he was giving tuition and had topped A-levels in economics.

During classes, we relentlessly worked for hours and hours on building the foundation and practicing a myriad of past papers. Through Shrijit's guidance, I finally achieved what I thought was unachievable: I scored an A* in the O-level economics examination. From an F at the start of the term to an A* at the end, he made me fall in love with economics. Shrijit taught me to think of economics beyond books and apply the principles in everyday life.

The best part about a teacher like him is that he doesn't actually focus on the marks, he focuses on making his students understand the concept and apply it to real-life scenarios, different countries, and case studies, and he also aims to integrate economics with different subjects. He made it interesting and made me realise that economics is not just about graphs and numbers, but also about understanding how different factors affect the economy, such as population growth, inflation, unemployment, and globalisation.

Currently, I am pursuing IB and have economics as my HL subject, in which I score straight sevens due to him.
