Dawn Zhang

I am an Economics and Finance educator with over five years of experience teaching university and pre-university students across AP, A-Level, and IBDP curricula. I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Economics and an MSc in Accounting & Finance from the London School of Economics, and I passed CFA Level I in my second undergraduate year with high scores across all topics. My teaching approach is structured, clear, and highly results-oriented. I prioritise deep conceptual understanding and guide students through targeted questioning to uncover gaps, sharpen reasoning, and build strong analytical foundations. Many of my students have achieved exceptional outcomes—routinely scoring above 4.5/5 in AP examinations, securing top A-Level and IB results, and excelling in competitive academic settings. Beyond classroom teaching, I coach high-performing students for the International Economics Olympiad, National Economics Challenge, and leading essay competitions such as John Locke and the Marshall Society, with multiple prize-winning results. My goal is always the same: to help each student reach a level of confidence, clarity, and mastery where academic excellence becomes a natural outcome. My lessons prioritise clarity, structure, and progression. I break down complex ideas into intuitive steps and test understanding through targeted, well-timed questions. This approach strengthens reasoning, identifies weak points early, and cultivates strong conceptual foundations.
