Perfect! 5 stars without hesitation! Nick is an outstanding Economics tutor. He explains complex concepts clearly, making everything easy to understand. My child struggled with exam problem-solving at first, as school lessons only covered content from PowerPoint slides without showing how to answer questions. Nick has taught them practical exam techniques and strategies, which has been incredibly helpful and inspiring. We are really grateful for his great support.

Perfect! Hannah is currently preparing her application for Economics at Cambridge, and we were looking for someone who could guide her through the all-important personal statement process. Although she has only had one session with Nick so far, I can already say it was exactly what we were hoping for — and more!

Nick is punctual, focused, and extremely professional. What impressed us most was his deep subject knowledge and how effectively he helped Hannah clarify her ideas and structure her thinking. His guidance gave her a real confidence boost — she came out of the session excited, motivated, and more certain about how to express her passion for Economics.

We’ve already booked follow-up sessions, and I have every confidence that with Nick’s support, Hannah will be able to present herself in the best possible light. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him at this important stage of the university application process.

Thank you again, Nick — looking forward to the journey ahead!

Perfect! I recently had an interview prep session with Nick, covering university-level topics such as the budget line and utility functions. Despite these topics being above my current Year 13 level, Nick explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He walked me through the process of forming the equation of the budget line step by step, ensuring I understood how each variable and concept fit together. His approach made it easy for me to follow along and grasp the logic behind the equation. His teaching style was engaging, and he patiently checked my understanding before moving on. I feel much more confident about these topics now and appreciate the effort he put into making this session so effective. Highly recommend!

Nicholas is very trustworthy and professional and will help you in any way he can. Previously, he helped me with HL IB economics. He was able to explain the complicated, such as the quota's diagram, in a simple and clear manner. From his teaching, my score went from 5 to 7. Besides, he also taught me how to write logically and precisely. After attending his lessons, I was able to be shortlisted (top 0.5%) in the 2023 economics category of the John Locke Institute Essay Competition.

I've been a student of Nick's for three years, having completed my entire IB diploma with his help. Nick is very knowledgeable about a broad range of topics from mathematics to physics to economics, which has been extremely useful to me as those were my Higher Level classes. Unlike other tutors, Nick is able to seamlessly switch between all these different areas of expertise depending on whatever I needed help on for the day, and offered outstanding guidance not only for the examination portion of things, but also the structuring and organization of research reports. The skills I have developed with him throughout the years will stick with me throughout my journey in university, and I was highly satisfied with the outcome of my final results thanks to him.

Find out more about Nicholas

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
I developed an interest in economics for reasons that are quite common among those drawn to the subject – I had a strong aptitude for maths and was fascinated by how quantitative tools could be used to understand and explain real-world events. What deepened my engagement was discovering that economics isn’t just about numbers, but about people, incentives, and decision-making. I started tutoring because I genuinely enjoy sharing this perspective, especially since economics at the high-school level often feels abstract or dry. I find real satisfaction in helping students see how dynamic and thought-provoking the subject really is.
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
I teach economics in a way that aims to take students beyond the curriculum, particularly those looking to deepen their knowledge for essay competitions, university applications, or personal interest. This can involve unpacking complex topics like game theory, financial crises, or behavioural economics, and tying them to real-world events. I especially enjoy discussing economic history and financial economics – they offer such rich insight into how ideas and institutions evolve over time. I’m slightly less fond of rote memorisation-based topics, but I try to find ways to make even those more engaging and conceptually grounded.
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
Yes, my Director of Studies at Cambridge has had a lasting influence on me. Not only is he an outstanding teacher, but he also bridges multiple disciplines – mathematics, philosophy, and economics – with impressive fluency. His ability to simplify complex ideas and connect them across fields really shaped how I think about learning and teaching. He showed me that being intellectually curious and rigorous doesn’t have to come at the expense of being approachable or supportive.
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
I think a good tutor needs to be patient, adaptable, and able to explain ideas clearly in multiple ways. But more than anything, it's about helping students meet their specific goals – whether that’s getting into a top university, winning a competition, or simply feeling confident in their understanding. A strong tutor is someone who knows how to unlock a student’s potential and keep them motivated along the way.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.
One experience that sticks with me is sitting my university exams during Covid. Because I was back home in Australia, I had to take the exams at 2am due to the time difference with the UK. It was a real test of resilience and time management – trying to revise during the day, stay alert through the night, and still produce thoughtful, coherent answers. It reminded me how important it is to build not just subject knowledge, but academic stamina.
What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or are still facing in your subject?
Economics is both incredibly broad and constantly evolving. That’s what makes it exciting, but also demanding. Keeping up with new research, emerging schools of thought, and current events can feel overwhelming at times. Still, I see this as a challenge worth embracing – the subject never stands still, which means there’s always something new to learn or explore, both for myself and my students.
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
I’m passionate about teaching economics in a way that’s engaging and empowering. There’s something really rewarding about helping students understand ideas that once seemed out of reach – and even more so when those ideas spark curiosity and independent thinking. Beyond the subject itself, I’m deeply interested in how we can teach more effectively, using different methods or tools to suit each learner’s needs.
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P)?
What sets me apart is my track record of helping students not only meet but exceed their academic goals – whether that’s achieving top grades, winning essay prizes, or securing places at competitive universities. I bring both subject expertise and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, which I think makes all the difference in building students' confidence and love for the subject.
