I am an experienced full-time tutor and qualified teacher of A-level and GCSE Economics and Business (QTS and PGCE) across all examination boards, drawing upon my academic background and 30 years experience in C-Suite leadership positions, from start-ups to multi-national companies and government across the globe, to make the theory come alive and engage my students. I have a strong appreciation of how tutoring needs to complement the work of the class teacher whilst helping the student build confidence with the subject.
My tutoring approach:
• Tailored sessions to meet individual student needs
• Interactive learning using whiteboards, Q&A and discussion
• Break down of complex theories into simple, real-world examples, ensuring a full grasp of key ideas and an ability to apply them effectively
• Focus on exam-specific skills and proven revision techniques
• Training on answering the big mark questions to achieve A* grades
• Deep-dive reviews of student essays with actionable feedback
• Continuous support outside of scheduled sessions
• Progress tracking: Regular assessments and feedback to monitor improvement and adjust strategies as needed.
In addition to supporting my students, from all around the world, achieve top grades, I provide them with opportunities to develop their confidence and soft skills required for the next stages of their academic and working careers (www.the-edge.org).
I have a BSc Economics & Business Finance from Brunel, a MBA and MA Organisation Studies from Warwick Business School, as well as a background in sustainability with a PG Dip Carbon Management from University of Edinburgh, and an IEMA associate with accreditation from the CFA and UNPRI in ESG.
I am a member of The Tutor Association, Chartered College of Teaching, with an Enhanced DBS certificate and I complete annual safeguarding training.

Kali - A-level Economics
"My experience with Cengiz has been nothing short of exceptional. He has fully embraced the fact the fact that I am studying economics as an accelerated course. I am appreciative of the time he took to know me and present me with lessons featuring examples from both my home country and current country of residence. I approach each lesson with a sense of excitement which I have not found elsewhere, and I am now more confident in my ability to achieve my desired marks."
