The website supporting students of Economics

Economicstutor.com.au has been created by Romeo Salla, an Australian economics educator and former federal treasury economist. It offers support to students of economics, particularly those undertaking a secondary economics course in Australia.

How can www.economicstutor.com.au help students?

Economicstutor.com.au is primarily designed to provide students with a series of challenging activities/tests that will take the form of interactive multiple choice question sets of 10 (complete with explanations) and short answer questions requiring students to ‘fill the gaps’ to reveal model answers for a typical test/exam questions. Crosswords, video links and other interactive activities feature throughout the site and compact course notes are included to support texts and other teacher resources. In addition, the ‘Contemporary activities’ section of the site includes new and contemporary exercises and/or tasks that are designed to both challenge students and keep them ‘up to date’. The completion of the exercises and activities contained will help to enhance student performance in assessment tasks and examinations.

All of the activities and core notes are categorised into each of the topic areas listed below. Note that most areas of the site are password protected with the exception of ‘Introductory concepts’. Students and teachers are free to access the Course Notes and Test Yourself activities within the ‘Introductory concepts’ pages of the site. Access to other areas of the site requires a password (provided with the purchase of a membership).

Throughout the year, tutorials and lecture programs will also be offered to students. These programs will be advertised on this Home page of the site (see below).

'We use economicstutor as both a place where our students can consolidate their learning as well as provide them with extension tasks to develop a greater understanding of individual topics. The range of tasks as well and the interactive nature of the site provide students with an opportunity to engage with the course outside of the classroom. We have found the site to be of great assistance in the development of their knowledge and understanding.'

Chris Williams

Fintona Girls' School

'We have subscribed to this site for a number of years and it has provided the Economics teachers and students at Geelong Grammar with lots of excellent exercises and activities to help them apply their knowledge of the VCE Economics course. The new look site in 2020 makes it even easier to navigate through parts of the course, and the depth and breadth of the exercises, including the insightful explanations, is proving to be a real support. The ability to project the interactive multi choice and short answer questions also provides teachers with the flexibility to change gears and offer fun and challenging class activities. It comes highly recommended.'

Lou Spanos

Geelong Grammar

'Our school has been a long term subscriber to economicstutor for many years. The notes are simple and logical, but with significant detail to allow students to gain a better understanding of some of the key concepts in the study design, that some other resources may not provide. The questions and activities also provide additional material to assist students at various levels who are looking for alternate content to consolidate their knowledge and skills in the lead up to key assessments. These exercises test the understanding of students of various levels using a range of interactive stimulii. It has been a valuable resource for our school and is highly recommended.'
