About

With over 20 years of professional teaching experience across both university and secondary levels, I offer an exceptionally analytical approach to student development. My academic credentials include 3 degrees in economics—a bachelor's, a master's, and advanced doctoral candidacy from a major research university in the United States. This rigorous foundation allows me to specialize in 2 major international high school frameworks: the International Baccalaureate and the College Board, specifically preparing students for IB Economics, AP Microeconomics, and AP Macroeconomics, as well as college-level statistics. Currently, I work as an economics tutor delivering exam-focused instruction, including structured mentorship for the IB Internal Assessment process. By integrating my extensive teaching background with 6 years of experience as a regional development expert in the public sector, I bring real-world, data-driven examples to every lesson. I focus on translating complex models into intuitive concepts to help students consistently achieve top-tier exam scores.

Teaching experience

With over 20 years of professional teaching experience across both the university and advanced secondary levels, I have developed a deep expertise in instructing quantitative economics and statistics. My background includes lecturing at major research universities, where I formulated and delivered comprehensive undergraduate curricula for microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, and mathematics for economists. This university-level foundation allows me to bring rigorous analytical depth, mathematical optimization techniques, and structural problem-solving directly into my teaching framework.

In addition to my higher education background, I specialize heavily in preparing high-achieving secondary students for high-stakes international examinations. I possess extensive experience teaching within 2 of the most demanding global curricula: the International Baccalaureate and the College Board frameworks. My instructional background covers IB Economics, AP Microeconomics, and AP Macroeconomics. This advanced secondary experience includes providing systematic, structured mentorship for the IB Economics Internal Assessment process, helping students master critical analytical writing, precise graphical models, and data-driven economic commentary. Throughout my career, my teaching has focused on transforming complex economic models into intuitive concepts, guiding diverse student bodies to achieve top-tier exam performance.

Teaching methods

Understanding student needs begins with an individualized diagnostic process to identify their unique academic baselines, learning styles, and curriculum-specific challenges. By pinpointing exactly where a student struggles—whether in complex graphical derivations, mathematical optimization, or structured economic writing—I tailor my instructional pace to their specific cognitive needs.

Once these core needs are established, I deploy 2 primary teaching methods to build student capability. First, I use an inquiry-based approach, engaging students in active dialogue and real-world observations to make abstract theories intuitive and lived rather than memorized. This method connects economic models to actual global datasets, sharpening critical thinking and quantitative reasoning. Second, I deliver highly structured, exam-oriented preparation strictly aligned with international standards. Backed by over 20 years of experience, I guide students step-by-step through past paper analysis, rubrics, and the precise analytical writing required for IB Internal Assessments and AP free-response questions. This transitions students from their initial learning gaps to achieving top-tier exam scores with absolute analytical confidence.
