Alexis Grigorieff

I have over nine years of university-level teaching experience across three world-leading institutions: the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics (LSE), and Sciences Po. My teaching spans undergraduate and postgraduate courses in economics, econometrics, behavioural science, and applied quantitative methods, combining rigorous academic training with a clear and supportive teaching style.


University teaching roles:

Lecturer in Economics, University of Oxford (2018–2020)

Full-time lecturer delivering core economics and econometrics courses. Designed lectures, supervisions, problem sets, and assessments for undergraduate and MSc students. Received exceptionally strong student evaluations for clarity, depth of explanation, and approachability.

Stipendiary Lecturer in Economics, St Edmund Hall, Oxford (2016–2018)

Taught microeconomics, behavioural economics, and quantitative methods to Oxford undergraduates. Provided small-group tutorials, exam preparation, and academic mentoring.

Teaching Associate and Class Teacher, London School of Economics (2016–2025)

Delivered classes in microeconomics, applied econometrics, and behavioural economics. Received several performance bonuses for outstanding teaching, awarded on the basis of student evaluations and departmental review.

Class Teacher, Sciences Po (2016–2025)

Taught economics and quantitative methods to undergraduate students, supporting their development in data analysis, economic reasoning, and academic writing.

Graduate Course Instructor, University of Oxford (2018–2025)

Taught a graduate-level econometrics course within Oxford's History Faculty for the MSc in Economic and Social History. Received overwhelmingly positive feedback for lecture structure, practical econometric guidance, and the accessibility of complex material.


Teaching Methodology:

I focus on exam-style teaching from the outset — in my experience, the most effective route to better results is directly engaging with the assessment format. I foster an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, testing ideas, and building genuine academic independence.

DPhil (PhD) in Economics, University of Oxford — Awarded a competitive, performance-based full scholarship.

MPhil in Economics, University of Oxford — Scholarship recipient.
