What's included
Every pillar in practice
Three 1-hour live classes a week
The full syllabus is taught live in a planned order. Each class has a maximum of 20 students, and the entire syllabus and exam technique are covered well before your child's exams.
A fortnightly 1-to-1 check-in with the student. Parents are welcome to join this.
Ask questions, flag concerns, check progress, and get live assessment feedback. Parents are welcome to join their child's 1-to-1 session.
Student & parent portals
Study resources, recordings of every past lesson, and live progress tracking. Students & parents get their own separate portals.
Industry insights
Economics students often aim to break into the financial sector but do not fully understand what different roles entail or the early-career landscape. Econora students get monthly insights from professionals in investment banking, consulting, quant, asset management, accounting and more to help them start thinking about the right path for them.
Exam technique for every topic
The third lesson of every week is an exam technique lesson, focusing on exam-style questions on the content covered that week. By exam day, a student has worked exam-style questions on every topic in the syllabus.
WhatsApp support, 12-hour reply guarantee
Student & parent in a group chat with the teacher to answer any concerns. The students can also ask study-related questions directly to their teacher. We guarantee a reply within 12 hours.
Who it's for
Right for some students but not all
Likely a good fit
- Any student, at any current grade, who wants to cover the full syllabus, learn exam technique properly, secure a top grade, and reach their potential.
- Parents who want visibility without needing to manage the process themselves.
Probably not the right fit
- Looking for a one-off crammer before a single upcoming test, not an ongoing programme.
- Can't commit to 3 hours a week of lessons, plus assessments and a 1-to-1 every two weeks.
