Support for EC1P1 Economic Reasoning at LSE

Our tutoring for EC1P1 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 economic measurement and economic modelling without losing sight of the economic intuition
  • applying empirical evidence in analytical work and using policy evaluation 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 economic measurement and its relationship with economic modelling
  • Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving empirical evidence
  • Applying policy evaluation 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 EC1P1 that feel unclear
