What is The Profs' Microeconomics tutor selection and vetting process for A-Level and undergraduate students?

The Profs operates one of the most demanding tutor-selection processes in the UK - only around 3% of applicants are accepted. Every Microeconomics tutor proposed for A-Level or undergraduate students meets strict standards before they are matched:

• Every tutor has a minimum of two years' teaching experience, with the average exceeding 10 years
• All tutors complete identity verification, KYC checks and an enhanced DBS
• Many tutors are current or former teachers, examiners, or practising economists with industry experience

What subject experience do your A-Level Microeconomics tutors bring?
