Support for EC1A5 Microeconomics I at LSE

Our tutoring for EC1A5 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, essays, data-based tasks and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • understanding the relationship between consumers, firms and markets and inequality and taxation without losing sight of the economic intuition
  • applying market failure and climate policy in analytical work and using minimum wages and immigration in problem sets, essays or data-based questions
  • selecting the right model, explaining its assumptions and showing enough analytical detail
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Rebuilding the intuition behind consumers, firms and markets and its relationship with inequality and taxation
  • Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving market failure and climate policy
  • Applying minimum wages and immigration to evidence, policy questions or real-world examples
  • Practising problem sets and exam answers with clear economic reasoning
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of EC1A5 that feel unclear
