Support for EC307 Development Economics at LSE
Our tutoring for EC307 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.
Students often struggle with:
- understanding the relationship between poverty and inequality and education and health without losing sight of the economic intuition
- applying labour and capital markets in analytical work and using governance and firms 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
Our tutors can help by:
- Rebuilding the intuition behind poverty and inequality and its relationship with education and health
- Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving labour and capital markets
- Applying governance and firms 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 EC307 that feel unclear
