Exam-focused preparation

Microeconomics, macroeconomics and applied questions

For the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Economics (4EC1) linear qualification, study is organised around two papers. Teaching and practice can be adapted to the areas students find most demanding.

Paper 1: Microeconomics and Business Economics

Build accurate market analysis, explain how consumers and firms respond to incentives, use economic diagrams and interpret the consequences of changing market conditions.

Paper 2: Macroeconomics and the Global Economy

Apply economic ideas to inflation, unemployment, growth, policy choices and international trade. Learn to compare outcomes and support a final judgement.

What happens in an online lesson?

We begin with a question to reveal what the student understands, build the underlying economics through guided questioning, and then practise a relevant exam-style response. Feedback identifies the next specific improvement rather than just giving a model answer to copy.

Tuition is suitable for students at UK and international schools. Sessions are arranged individually, with lesson times subject to availability and time-zone compatibility.

Why choose The Big Macro?

Lessons are taught personally by Alex Grimmer, a qualified UK teacher and independent school Head of Economics with 10 years of teaching experience. You deal directly with your tutor and can discuss the student’s goals in a free 15-minute introductory conversation.
