How we teach Economics

Cambridge A Level Economics (9708) asks students to think like economists — building models, weighing trade-offs and applying theory to real markets and economies, from a single firm’s pricing to national policy. Our teaching develops that analytical habit from the first diagram onward.

Microeconomics comes first: demand and supply, elasticities, market structures and market failure, with the diagrams and chains of reasoning that anchor strong answers. Macroeconomics follows — national income, aggregate demand and supply, fiscal and monetary policy, trade and exchange rates. Across AS and A2, the papers move from multiple-choice and data response to extended evaluation, so we train precise recall and the balanced, well-judged argument top marks require.

Classes are live and small, with feedback focused on diagram accuracy and the evaluative reasoning examiners reward most.

Frequently asked questions

How is A Level Economics examined?

Four papers: AS multiple choice and data-response with essays, then A Level multiple choice and a heavier data-and-essay paper. The written papers carry two-thirds of the marks, so the grade is decided by analysis — diagrams, chains of reasoning and evaluation — far more than by recall.

Can Economics be started at A Level without IGCSE Economics?

Yes — 9708 assumes no prior study and many strong candidates meet economics for the first time at AS. The early weeks establish the core toolkit of diagrams and terminology; from there progress depends on essay technique, which we mark and rebuild weekly.

What makes the difference between a B and an A* in 9708?

Evaluation. Most students can explain a policy; top answers weigh it — magnitude, time lags, stakeholders, alternatives — and land a justified judgement. We teach a repeatable evaluation structure and mark against the board's levels, so students know exactly which sentence lifts an answer.
