An accomplished Economics tutor/examiner Economics Economics

Lessons develop like an interesting story with inputs coming in from both the tutor but mainly the student.I try to bring the numbers and diagrams as and when student feel ready. I also aim to incorporate some past exam questions frequently in my lectures. Students typically receive some written, some numeric and some research based tasks on weekly basis...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How does National 5 Economics compare to GCSE Economics, and how is it recognised outside Scotland?
National 5 Economics is broadly considered an equivalent qualification to GCSE Economics in terms of academic level. While the content might be structured slightly differently, both aim to provide a solid introduction to economic principles. Colleges and universities across the UK generally understand and accept National 5 qualifications, especially for progression to A-Levels or other post-16 courses. A tutor can help students clearly articulate the skills and knowledge gained from the National 5 course when discussing future applications.
How do National 5 grades (A-D) translate when colleges ask for GCSE grades (9-1)?
This is a common query! While there isn't a direct, universally agreed-upon conversion chart, a National 5 A is generally seen as equivalent to a GCSE Grade 7 or above, a B to a Grade 6, and a C to a Grade 4 or 5. If a college specifically asks for a GCSE Grade 6, a National 5 B would usually be considered sufficient. A tutor can help you understand these equivalences and provide context for applications, easing any worries.
What exactly does the National 5 Economics 'assignment' component involve, and how can a tutor help?
The assignment is typically a research-based project where students investigate an economic issue, gather information, and present their findings. It's an opportunity to apply what they've learned and develop independent research skills. A National 5 Economics tutor can provide invaluable guidance without doing the work for your child. They can help with understanding the brief, structuring the research, analysing data, and refining the presentation of ideas to make sure your child feels confident submitting their best work.
Is there a significant amount of maths required for National 5 Economics?
While National 5 Economics isn't a maths qualification, it does involve interpreting graphs, charts, and basic data to understand economic trends and relationships, such as how supply and demand curves interact. You'll also need to perform simple calculations like percentages and averages. If your child isn't confident with these, a National 5 Economics tutor can patiently break down the mathematical aspects, building their skills and ensuring they feel comfortable with the data analysis required.
Does National 5 Economics provide a strong foundation for A-Level Economics?
Absolutely. National 5 Economics introduces key concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, markets, and government intervention, which are fundamental building blocks for A-Level study. While A-Levels will go into more depth and introduce new theories, a solid National 5 grounding means your child will already have a strong grasp of the core ideas, putting them in an excellent position to progress successfully.
Are there enough revision resources available for National 5 Economics compared to GCSEs?
While GCSE resources might appear more plentiful due to larger student numbers, there are still excellent revision guides, textbooks, and past papers specifically for National 5 Economics. A tutor who's an expert in the Scottish curriculum can recommend the very best resources, often providing their own tailored materials and insights. This ensures your child has everything they need to prepare effectively.
How quickly can a National 5 Economics tutor help improve my child's grades?
Many of our students see significant improvement quite quickly. In fact, on average, students move up one whole GCSE grade in just 8 hours of tutoring. For National 5 Economics, this personalised, focused attention means addressing specific weak points and reinforcing understanding, which can lead to rapid progress and a boost in grades and confidence.
