Support for EC325 Public Economics at LSE

Our tutoring for EC325 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 public goods and externalities and social insurance without losing sight of the economic intuition
  • applying taxation in analytical work and using redistribution and inequality 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 public goods and externalities and its relationship with social insurance
  • Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving taxation
  • Applying redistribution and inequality 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 EC325 that feel unclear
