We send our warmest best wishes as a new school and college year begins in earnest. Here is a quick summary of some of the new resources and courses that the Economics team at tutor2u are providing as we head into the autumn!
Essential A-Level Economics 2023/24
CPD for Non-specialist & new/inexperienced A-Level Economics teachers
There are now just a few places left on each of the Essential A-Level Economics CPD courses in London in September 2023. Each course is being held at our regular venue - the stunning Clermont Hotel, opposite Trafalgar Square in Central London.
These resource and support-packed courses are designed to help non-specialist or new Economics teachers hit the ground running this term and beyond.
In addition to practical teaching sessions during the day, every attendee gets the latest version of our Essential A-Level Economics Teaching Survival Guides and dozens of ready-to-use teaching resources.
