We confirm the syllabus code, exam series and paper route for YEC11. Everything else depends on this.
Online Tuition
Four modular units, three exam series a year, and a resit strategy most families never plan. We tutor unit by unit - markets, macro, business behaviour and the global economy - to the exact combination your child is taking.
A simple four-step approach designed to build confidence, close gaps and improve exam performance.
We confirm the syllabus code, exam series and paper route for YEC11. Everything else depends on this.
A diagnostic against the syllabus topics tells us what's secure and what isn't, so we teach the gaps rather than the whole book.
The same tutor teaches each week around school. Concepts build step by step, with the school's pace kept in view.
Past-paper questions begin early, followed by full timed papers marked against the published mark scheme.
Expert, vetted Edexcel International A-level Economics tutors who have taught the YEC11 specification. Past-paper work is reviewed against published mark schemes, so your child can see where marks are awarded and where they are being lost. UK-qualified teachers are available on request as a premium option.
Not "edexcel international A-level economics in general" - this syllabus, this tier and these papers.
Your child learns where the marks actually are, not where they feel they should be.
Shared whiteboard, worked solutions and lesson materials saved to review after the session.
The same tutor every week - and if that changes, we tell you first.
The qualification is fully modular. Two IAS units and two IA2 units make up the full International A-level, each a standalone written exam of two hours that can be banked - and resat - toward the final grade.

2025 - 2027Units are bankable and resittable. Planning those resits deliberately can have a major impact on the final aggregate.
These are the main syllabus strands your child is expected to cover. We teach all of them, starting with the gaps that are costing marks first.
Tuition stays aligned to the exact paper or unit structure, so revision time goes where the marks actually move.

Four: Unit 1 Markets in Action and Unit 2 Macroeconomic Performance & Policy (the IAS), plus Unit 3 Business Behaviour and Unit 4 Developments in the Global Economy (the IA2). All four make up the full International A-level.
Yes - fully. Each unit is a standalone two-hour exam that can be banked across sessions and resat to improve the grade. That is the biggest structural difference from Cambridge, where the papers are sat together.
A* to E for the full International A-level; a to e for the International AS taken on its own.
Units are available in January, June and October, so assessment can be spread across the year.
Yes - any unit can be resat, and the better result counts toward the final grade. Planning resits deliberately is one of the biggest levers on the final aggregate.
Each combines multiple-choice, a source-based data-response and essay questions marked on levels, so both applied and evaluative skills are tested.
We replace them - free, and with no argument - and hand over the unit-by-unit progress and known concerns so the new tutor continues seamlessly.
Yes. The economics overlaps heavily; the difference is structure - Edexcel's bankable, resittable units versus Cambridge's papers-together model. The free assessment maps which suits your child.
