Find expert economics tutoring in Exeter

Four concepts underpin every economics course: scarcity, supply and demand, trade-offs, and incentives.

• Scarcity means resources are limited while wants are virtually unlimited, so choices must be made.
• Supply and demand describes how prices form in a market: when demand rises and supply stays fixed, prices tend to climb.
• Every decision has costs and benefits; economists call the value of the forgone alternative the opportunity cost.
• An incentive is anything that motivates a person or firm to act differently, from bonuses to regulations.

Once you grasp scarcity, supply and demand, trade-offs, and incentives, the rest of economics builds naturally on top.⚡ What does studying economics involve?

A private economics lesson in Exeter averages $30/h.

This price varies several factors:

• Your academic level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications (university-trained, exam markers, working economists)
• The length and frequency of sessions (regular lessons or short-term revision courses)
• The lesson format (face-to-face, online via video call, or a mix of both)

Booking a package of lessons often brings the price down, especially for exam preparation periods.

Studying economics means exploring how individuals, firms, and governments make choices about money, resources, and policy.

• Microeconomics looks at individual consumers and firms — how prices are set, why markets can fail, and how competition works.
• Macroeconomics examines the economy as a whole — GDP, inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and international trade.

Beyond theory, economics sharpens your ability to read graphs, interpret statistics, and evaluate policy proposals.
