OBRI for Economics Tutors

Sound familiar?

• 😓Micro and macro topics split across folders — you cannot see at a glance what a student has not covered before mocks.
• 😓Essay and data-response feedback lives in email threads; students resubmit drafts and you lose track of which version you commented on.
• 😓School-age and university clients need different pacing, but one spreadsheet treats them the same.
• 😓Monthly invoicing means manually summing lesson rows and hoping you did not miss a cancelled session.

OBRI solves all of these. Here is how.

A typical workflow for economics tutors

1. 1Create a student profile with exam board (AQA, Edexcel, IB), target grade, and macro/micro focus areas.
2. 2Map the syllabus into blocks — e.g. micro foundations → market structures → macro indicators → policy evaluation.
3. 3After each session, log topics covered and one weak area to revisit (e.g. diagram accuracy, evaluation depth).
4. 4Assign past-paper questions or essays with a due date before the next lesson.
5. 5Record bank transfer or invoice payment when it arrives; send a balance reminder if overdue.
6. 6Before mocks, review topic tags and assign a targeted revision block for gaps.

Common questions from economics tutors

Does it work for IB and A-Level economics?

Yes. Tag each student by exam board and track micro/macro topics separately. IB tutors often log IA progress in lesson notes; A-Level tutors track 25-mark essay skills alongside content coverage.

Can I assign past-paper homework?

Yes — upload PDFs or link to past papers in the homework portal. Students mark completion; you review before the next session without hunting through chat attachments.

Is OBRI better than spreadsheets for economics tutors?

Spreadsheets work for 3–5 students. Past 8–10, reschedules, essay rounds, and payment gaps break the model. OBRI ties each lesson, note, and balance to one student profile.
