How we teach J205
Every topic is taught with real business examples and the layouts and formats examiners expect.
We practise calculations until they are automatic, then the analysis and evaluation that earn the higher marks.
Case-study and data-response questions are planned in class and marked like the real exam.
Where students usually lose marks
- Analysis and evaluation in long answers
- Correct layouts for financial statements
- Calculations under time pressure
- Applying ideas to the case study
“Today’s class went really well. My daughter is very satisfied. She said she understood it properly. Please carry on just like this.”

Questions parents ask
Do you teach the current OCR GCSE Economics syllabus?
Yes. Lessons follow the board’s current syllabus (For teaching from 2017). We check the specification before planning a course, and we tell you if anything changes.
How many lessons a week does my child need?
Most students do one or two 60-minute lessons a week. In the months before the exam, many add a second lesson for past-paper practice.
Can you help close to the exam?
Yes. Exam-season courses focus on timed practice, the topics that lose the most marks, and marking every paper like the real exam.
