James Powell

With over twenty years in education, I have dedicated my career to teaching economics. I strive to make learning more engaging and accessible to my students and always seek to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world application.

My journey has taken me from the classroom to leading successful departments, authoring 15 economics textbooks and study guides, training teachers, and integrating innovative learning technologies. I now provide tutoring and instructional design support to help bridge learning gaps and encourage academic success. Whether teaching, tutoring, or coaching students toward top university placements, my passion remains: enhancing education through creativity, strategy, and innovation.

My tutoring and instructional style is interactive, student-centered, and focused on building confidence through clear explanations, real-world connections, and engaging discussions. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, breaking complex concepts into manageable parts while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing academically. I aim to help students improve their understanding and performance and develop curiosity, analytical skills, and independent learning habits. Ultimately, I want my students to feel empowered, capable, and motivated to reach their full potential.
