About me
Here you can see how a normal lesson runs and the ideas behind my teaching. It should help you decide if my lessons suit you before you book.
Background
I'll add the other details here soon.

My story
I’m writing this part myself, and I’ll add it here soon.
[How you came to Economics: what made it click for you, in two or three sentences.] (to be confirmed)
[What you noticed while teaching it: where students most often lose marks.] (to be confirmed)
[Why you teach the way you do now: what changed in your teaching and why.] (to be confirmed)
I help students understand Economics and write better exam answers.
Inside a lesson
Most lessons follow the five steps below. If your exam is close, we spend more time on exam questions and less on new topics.
We start with the written work I've marked since our last lesson. We fix the mistake that lost the most marks before we begin anything new.
I teach one idea in plain English with one clear example. We only add new Economics terms once you understand the idea behind them.
When a topic has a diagram, you draw and label it yourself during the lesson. This helps you remember where each label goes.
We take an exam-style question and plan the answer out loud. First we decide the order of the points. Then we work out each step of the explanation, so you can plan your answers the same way in the exam.
You do a written task at home. I mark it using Cambridge's mark scheme and write clear feedback. Then we go through it at the start of the next lesson.
How I teach
These five ideas shape how I teach across a whole course. Not every lesson will include all of them.
I break each idea into small steps and explain it with one simple example. Before we move on, you explain it back to me in your own words. If you can't yet, we go over it again.
I link every topic to the kinds of questions Cambridge sets and to what the mark scheme gives marks for. I also teach the command words, such as analyse and evaluate, so you know what each question wants you to do.
We work through real past-paper questions with a timer running, just like in the exam. Knowing a topic and writing a full answer on time are two different skills, so we practise both.
I mark your written work and show you what to fix in your diagrams, structure, analysis and evaluation. For example, I might point out missing labels on the axes of a demand and supply diagram. I also show you where a point needs one more step of explanation.
You'll still learn the definitions, but I want you to understand the reasons behind them. The aim is that you can explain things like why prices rise or why unemployment goes up.
Next step
In a trial class, I teach one topic you find hard and mark one exam-style answer. At the end, I'll tell you what to work on next.
Ask about the courses
Hi! Ask me about Bilal's O Level and A Level Economics lessons, in English or Roman Urdu. I can tell you what he teaches, how lessons work and what happens in a trial class. For fees and timings, I'll point you to Bilal.
