About Seamus

Not just a tutor. A practitioner.

Most economics tutors teach from a textbook. Seamus Gray taught himself from a trading floor.

After studying Finance and Economics at the University of Otago, Seamus worked as a money market broker in Wellington — reading markets, managing risk, and living the concepts your child is being assessed on. He didn't just study economics. He applied it.

In 2019 he completed his Masters of Teaching, then moved into the classroom at Otago Boys' School before relocating to Perth. Since then he's taught at Aquinas College and Trinity College — where his Year 12 economics class achieved some of the top results in the state in 2024.

Now he brings all of that — the real-world knowledge, the classroom craft, and a quick wit that makes a 90-minute session fly by — directly to your home.

Why Seamus

What makes the difference

01
Real Experience, Not Just Theory
Seamus worked in financial markets before he ever set foot in a classroom. When he explains monetary policy, exchange rates, or market behaviour — he's drawing on lived experience. That depth shows up in how your child answers exam questions.
02
Learning Through Games
Seamus uses games and simulations to make abstract concepts concrete. When students play out market dynamics rather than just read about them, the understanding sticks. Expect sessions that are engaging, active — and surprisingly fun.
03
School Curriculum, Inside Out
As a current classroom teacher at Trinity College, Seamus knows exactly how ATAR Economics is taught, assessed, and marked in WA. He works from your child's actual school materials — no generic content, no wasted time.
04
Sharp Mind, Easy to Talk To
Students and colleagues consistently describe Seamus as logical, precise — and genuinely funny. He doesn't talk down to students. He meets them where they are and brings them up. Even reluctant students tend to enjoy his sessions.
05
Comes to You
No driving across Perth, no parking stress. Seamus comes directly to your home, around Dianella and surrounding suburbs. Sessions happen in your student's own environment, on their schedule.
06
For Achievers at Every Level
Whether your child is struggling and needs to find solid footing, or is already strong and wants to push for a top-tier ATAR — Seamus adapts. He's helped students across the full spectrum of ambition and ability.
