I studied Economics at the University of Nottingham's Ningbo campus, then completed an MSc at the University of Edinburgh in 2024. I now teach A-Level Economics and tutor undergraduates, mainly in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics.

Most students arrive with the same problem: the lectures made sense, but the problem sets don't. Economics rewards a particular kind of thinking — you have to see why a curve shifts before you can write anything down. So a session starts with you telling me where you got stuck, not with me re-lecturing the topic. We then work through questions together on a shared whiteboard: your seminar sheets, past papers, whatever your module actually uses. I write as we go, and you get the annotated notes as a PDF afterwards.

If you're at A-Level the priority is a bit different: exam technique, the structure of the long essay, and picking the right diagram to earn the marks. I show you how the mark scheme thinks, not just the content.

I'm comfortable with the maths side — regressions, hypothesis testing, reading coefficients — which is where a lot of economics students get nervous, particularly when the course assumes more statistics than they've done.

Everything is taught in English, so nothing gets lost if you're studying abroad.

One thing I'm firm about: I don't write assignments, coursework or dissertations, and I won't do your problem set for you. What I will do is sit with you until you can do the next one without me.

If you're unsure whether I'm the right fit, book a free 15-minute call. Send me your module list beforehand and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
