This map lists the core economics topics, the point where students most often get stuck, and how a tutor helps you past it.
| Topic | Where students get stuck | How a tutor helps |
|---|---|---|
| Demand, supply and elasticity | Shifts versus movements; elasticity calculations | Diagrams drawn step by step, then calculations |
| Market failure | Externality diagrams and welfare loss | Label MPC, MSC and the welfare triangle every time |
| Market structures | Cost and revenue curves for each structure | One diagram per structure, built from the cost curves |
| Macroeconomic objectives | Linking growth, inflation, unemployment and the balance of payments | AD/AS analysis applied to current data |
| Monetary and fiscal policy | Transmission mechanisms and evaluation | Chains of reasoning with an evaluation point at each step |
| International economics | Comparative advantage and exchange rates | Worked numerical examples |
| Data response | Using the extract and the data | Quote, calculate and explain in each answer |
| Econometrics | Interpreting regression output | Annotated Stata or R output |
The microeconomics topics that appear most in essays and exams are demand and supply, the four elasticities, consumer theory, production and costs, market structures, game theory, market failure and behavioural economics. Strong answers combine accurate diagrams with real examples and evaluation of each model's assumptions.
| Topic | Key ideas |
|---|---|
| Demand and supply | Equilibrium, shifts vs movements |
| Elasticity | PED, YED, XED, PES |
| Consumer theory | Utility, indifference curves, budget constraints |
| Production and costs | Short-run and long-run costs, economies of scale |
| Market structures | Perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition |
| Game theory | Nash equilibrium, prisoner's dilemma |
| Market failure | Externalities, public goods, information asymmetry (Akerlof's market for lemons) |
| Behavioural economics | Kahneman and Tversky's heuristics, Thaler's nudges |
For a module that covers only these topics, see microeconomics tutoring; for applied firm-level decisions, see business economics help.
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. For example, if price rises from £2.00 to £2.20, a 10% increase, and quantity falls from 1,000 to 850, a 15% fall, PED is −15 ÷ 10 = −1.5, so demand is elastic.
| Step | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Percentage change in price | (2.20 − 2.00) ÷ 2.00 = +10% |
| Percentage change in quantity | (850 − 1,000) ÷ 1,000 = −15% |
| PED | −15% ÷ 10% = −1.5 (elastic) |
| Revenue before | £2.00 × 1,000 = £2,000 |
| Revenue after | £2.20 × 850 = £1,870 |
Revenue falls because demand is elastic: the 15% drop in quantity outweighs the 10% rise in price, so raising the price reduces total revenue.
Two short macroeconomic calculations. Illustrative numbers only.
| Question | Working | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| MPC = 0.8 in a closed economy with no taxes. Find the multiplier. | 1 ÷ (1 − MPC) = 1 ÷ 0.2 | 5 |
| Government spending rises by £10bn. Find the final change in GDP. | £10bn × 5 | £50bn (in this simple model) |
| Nominal GDP grows 5% and inflation is 3%. Find real growth. | (1.05 ÷ 1.03) − 1 | ≈ 1.94%, roughly 5% − 3% = 2% |
In an essay, evaluate the multiplier: leakages into saving, taxes and imports, crowding out and time lags make the real-world effect smaller.
The core macroeconomic models are AD-AS, the multiplier, IS-LM, the Phillips curve in the short and long run, the Solow growth model, the Taylor rule, exchange rate and trade models such as comparative advantage. In the UK, the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee sets Bank Rate to meet the 2% CPI inflation target, and the OBR produces fiscal forecasts.
| Model or topic | What it explains |
|---|---|
| AD-AS | Output and the price level |
| Multiplier | How spending changes affect national income |
| IS-LM | Interaction of goods and money markets |
| Phillips curve | Inflation-unemployment trade-off; expectations in the long run |
| Solow growth model | Long-run growth from capital, labour and technology |
| Taylor rule | How interest rates respond to inflation and output gaps |
| Monetary policy | Bank Rate set by the MPC; 2% CPI target |
| Fiscal policy | Government spending and taxation; OBR forecasts |
| Trade | Comparative advantage (Ricardo), exchange rates |

A-Level economics tutors follow your board's specification and paper structure, so you practise the exact question types, from short data-response questions to 25-mark essays. Each board examines microeconomics, macroeconomics and a synoptic paper over three 2-hour exams. Tutors mark practice answers against the board's levels so you see exactly how to move up a band.
| Exam board | Specification | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| AQA | 7136 | 3 papers × 2 hours |
| Edexcel A | 9EC0 | 3 papers × 2 hours |
| Edexcel B | 9EB0 | 3 papers × 2 hours |
| OCR | H460 | 3 papers × 2 hours |
Also see IGCSE Cambridge Economics and IGCSE Edexcel Economics.
IB Economics tutors cover the four units of the course: introduction to economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics and the global economy, with the key concepts used throughout. Lessons focus on Paper 1 extended responses, Paper 2 data response and, at HL, the Paper 3 policy paper, plus guidance on your internal assessment portfolio within IB rules.
See our IB DP Economics HL course.
University economics help supports intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics, mathematical economics and econometrics. Tutors work through constrained optimisation, game theory, growth models and regression analysis with you, and help with software such as Stata, R, EViews and Excel, explaining what each output means and how to report it.
For statistics-heavy modules, see Business Statistics.
Tutors match your level, syllabus and exam board, from school to PhD.
| Level | What you study | Matching help |
|---|---|---|
| GCSE and IGCSE | Markets, the role of money, the economy and international trade | IGCSE Economics (Cambridge), IGCSE Economics (Edexcel) |
| A-Level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) | Micro and macroeconomics, data response and 25-mark essays | Live tutoring and homework help |
| IB and AP | IB Economics SL and HL with the internal assessment commentaries; AP Micro and Macroeconomics | IB Economics HL |

Start with OLS and check the Gauss-Markov assumptions, then test for common problems and fix them: heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, multicollinearity and non-stationarity, with panel data needing a choice between fixed and random effects. Report diagnostics alongside results and interpret coefficients in economic terms.
| Problem | Test | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Heteroskedasticity | Breusch-Pagan or White test | Robust standard errors |
| Autocorrelation | Durbin-Watson or Breusch-Godfrey | Newey-West standard errors |
| Multicollinearity | Variance inflation factor (VIF) | Drop or combine variables |
| Non-stationarity | Augmented Dickey-Fuller test | Differencing; cointegration (Engle-Granger, Johansen) |
| Panel data model choice | Hausman test | Fixed or random effects |
Tutors work in Stata, EViews, R, Python (statsmodels) or Excel, using data from the ONS, Bank of England Database, OBR, HM Treasury, World Bank WDI, IMF WEO, OECD, Eurostat and FRED.
Students most often need economics help with the topics that combine diagrams and evaluation. Your tutor explains each concept, draws the diagram step by step and shows how to apply it to a real-world example. Common topics include elasticity, market failure, monetary policy and international trade.
| Topic | Key diagrams and concepts |
|---|---|
| Production possibility frontier | Opportunity cost, efficiency, growth |
| Elasticity | PED, PES, YED and total revenue |
| Externalities | Marginal social cost and benefit, deadweight loss |
| Economies of scale | Long-run average cost curve |
| Game theory | Payoff matrix, Nash equilibrium, prisoner's dilemma |
| Labour market | Wage determination, minimum wage, trade unions |
| GDP and growth | Circular flow, AD-AS, output gaps |
| Fiscal and monetary policy | Multiplier, interest rates, quantitative easing |
| Balance of payments | Current account, exchange rates, trade |
If your course is mainly hypothesis testing and regression rather than economic theory, our statistics tutors can help too.
Top-band economics answers combine knowledge, application, analysis and evaluation. Define key terms precisely, apply them to the case study or data, build a logical chain of analysis with a diagram, and then evaluate by weighing up factors and reaching a supported judgement. Your tutor marks practice answers against your board's levels and shows exactly how to move up a band.
Economics students most often lose marks for unlabelled diagrams, theory with no real data, missing evaluation, confusing movements along a curve with shifts of the curve, and regression results reported without interpretation or diagnostics. Each can be fixed with practice and clear structure.
| Mark-loser | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Unlabelled diagrams | Label axes, curves, equilibria and shifts |
| Theory with no real data | Use ONS or Bank of England data |
| No evaluation | Use 'it depends on…' chains with justification |
| Movement vs shift confused | Price changes cause movements; other factors shift curves |
| Regression without interpretation | Explain coefficients, significance and diagnostics |

Microeconomics studies individual markets, consumers and firms. Macroeconomics studies the whole economy, including growth, inflation, unemployment and government policy.
Weigh up the factors, consider short-run versus long-run effects, question assumptions and the size of impacts, and reach a justified judgement rather than just listing points.
Yes. Tutors show you how to extract figures from data, calculate percentage changes and use the data as evidence in your analysis.
Yes. Tutors work through problem sets in microeconomics, macroeconomics and mathematical economics, explaining each step so you can tackle similar questions alone.
Divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price. A value greater than 1 in absolute terms means demand is elastic; less than 1 means inelastic.
A change in the good's own price causes a movement along the demand curve. A change in any other factor, such as income or the price of a substitute, shifts the whole curve.
The Phillips curve shows a short-run trade-off between inflation and unemployment. In the long run, once expectations adjust, the curve is often argued to be vertical at the natural rate of unemployment.
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee sets Bank Rate and uses other tools to meet the government's 2% CPI inflation target, while supporting growth and employment.
After running a regression, use the Breusch-Pagan or White test through Stata's post-estimation commands. If heteroskedasticity is present, re-estimate with robust standard errors and report this in your results.
Fixed effects control for unobserved characteristics that are constant within each unit by using only within-unit variation. Random effects assume those characteristics are uncorrelated with the regressors. The Hausman test helps choose between them.
Define key terms, build several developed analysis points with labelled diagrams and real examples, evaluate each with 'it depends' reasoning, and finish with a justified judgement that answers the question directly.
Choose a recent news article, identify the relevant economic concept, explain it with a correctly labelled diagram, apply it to the article's context and evaluate, following your school's guidance and the current IB criteria.
Yes. Tutors cover the AP Macroeconomics course, including AD-AS, monetary and fiscal policy, the Phillips curve and open-economy topics, with graphing and free-response practice.
Yes. Tutors help you specify your model, prepare data, run diagnostics in Stata, EViews or R and interpret results, giving feedback on your own chapters.
Draw marginal social cost (MSC) above marginal private cost (MPC), with demand as marginal private benefit. The market produces where MPB = MPC, the social optimum is where MPB = MSC, and the welfare loss is the triangle between the two outputs.
