About Finlay
I’m an Economics student in their first year at The University of St Andrews; with the sole winner of Governor's prize for excellence in Economics from Fettes College this year. Studying economics at university has shown me that real understanding comes from being able to discuss, debate, and explain ideas, not just memorise them. Tutoring gives me the chance to do exactly that. It’s not just about helping students; it’s also a way for me to refine how I think, communicate, and approach problems from different angles. I enjoy creating space for proper discussion, the kind that builds confidence and helps students move beyond surface-level answers.

I didn’t have a tutor during my A-levels, so I know the difference focused support can make. I study economics at St Andrews and achieved A*AA, by developing my own strategies for mastering content, structuring essays, and meeting exam criteria with precision. My approach is practical, disciplined, and tailored to your goals — whether that’s improving confidence, securing top marks, or bridging what school hasn’t taught clearly. I believe my evaluation skills and points that I have learned very recently set me apart from the syllabus, and I feel I can teach this ability to really impress the examiners to you.
