About Sean
Hi! My name is Sean Tan, and I specialise in macroeconomics and economic history at the London School of Economics. Before that, I was one of 14 King's (academic) Scholars at Eton College, placing first out of more than 600 students in the selection exams. At Eton, I earned four A*s at A-Level, eleven 9 grades at GCSE, and placed first for several sets of school-wide exams in a handful of subjects.
Over four years, I have mentored around a dozen students in a host of different subjects, including at the levels for primary school, 11+ selection exams, 13+ scholarship exams to prestigious schools such as Eton and Westminster Colleges, GCSE, A-Level, and university admissions. During that time, I have helped to secure 13+ academic scholarships and 11+ entry to Eton College for several students, receive numerous offers from Russell Group universities, and lift their predicted A-Level grades to A*s, among other successes. Specifically for economics, I have helped a student raise their A-Level predicted grade from A to A*, receive an offer to study at UCL, and assisted them with multiple essay competition submissions, in the span of three months.
You can find more information about my academic and personal background at (concealed information) Thank you very much for your time!

I believe that to a large degree, there are certain key steps to crafting high-scoring economics essays that teachers do not always explain in detail. This may be regarding specific methods to evaluating points convincingly to examiners, or simply structuring essays using the KAA method. By teaching these simple steps, alongside providing a wealth of knowledge about economics-related phenomena, I can help students make remarkable improvements.
Lessons will consist of two parts: going over past papers (which they may have completed before the lesson), and covering any key topics which they might not have grasped beforehand, with homework assigned if it fits within the student's availability.
Qualifications include earning A* in A-Level economics, placing 2/150 in my school’s economics exams, and winning my school’s economics essay competition. Outside of school, I have undertaken economics research as an intern at the Oxford Global Society and Centre for International Governance Innovation, and regularly write economics articles for the Asia Times, Global Taiwan Brief, and Yale’s US-China undergraduate magazine.

Sean is really knowledgeable and experienced in teaching multiple subjects. He is very patient, and has been instrumental in helping my child secure his dream senior school offer. Highly recommended!
Sean has been my tutor for a few months now and I’ve made great progress in A Level Economics. His lessons are engaging and flexible- we explore recent relevant news topics related to economics- but the main focus is going through past paper questions and essays or on consolidating content for topics that I feel weren’t covered well in school.
Sean provides a wealth of information e.g his substack where he analyses economic events in a clear and accessible way.
He has in addition been hugely helpful in answering any economics related questions I may have as well as giving advice on essay competitions and more general personal statement advice.
Sean is a phenomenal tutor and I highly recommend him.See more recommendations
