How to Teach Economics

Yousuf Hamid is Head of Economics at a secondary school in London. After growing up and studying economics at university in Glasgow, he relocated to London where he worked as an economic analyst for a large financial services firm. Keen to make more of a difference in society, he left this job and went travelling spending time volunteering in several schools along the east coast of Africa. Inspired by the joy of teaching, he later changed careers and trained to teach with Teach First. He has taught Economics at GCSE and A-Level in several inner-city schools in London and is a passionate believer in economics education as an entry point for pupils to truly understand the world in a way that only an understanding of economics can provide.
