Advert description
I am an Oxford-trained economist and student-award-winning lecturer with nine years of university teaching across Oxford, LSE, and Sciences Po. I specialise in making difficult material genuinely accessible, helping students build real technical confidence in microeconomics, econometrics, and behavioural economics, with a strong focus on exam performance.
Whether you are preparing for exams, catching up on core concepts, or tackling a dissertation, my teaching is built around you: your syllabus, your weaknesses, and the specific demands of your assessments.
My academic background is grounded in sustained high performance. I hold an Oxford DPhil (PhD) in Economics, funded by a competitive full scholarship, and an Oxford MPhil in Economics. Prior to Oxford, I graduated top of my cohort at Durham University with the prize for the best undergraduate dissertation, scoring 93/100.
My university roles have included full-time Lecturer in Economics at Oxford (2018–2020), Stipendiary Lecturer at St Edmund Hall, Class Teacher in the LSE Economics Department, instructor for a graduate econometrics course within Oxford's History Faculty, and Class Teacher at Sciences Po, all held since 2016.
My approach combines rigorous analytical training with clear, intuitive explanation. I focus on exam technique from the start, understanding the assessment is, in my view, the single most effective route to better results. Students consistently tell me that complex material clicks in my classes in a way it did not before.
I have received multiple commendations throughout my career, including performance bonuses for outstanding teaching at LSE and Oxford student teaching awards, recognition I take seriously, because it comes directly from students.
Student reviews:
"Dr. Grigorieff goes through the tough concepts and makes it much easier to understand. I only understand what was taught in the lecture after attending the classes.”
“I think Alexis is very well prepared for the class and has a genuine passion for teaching."
"He makes an effort to involve everyone in class. Alexis also places great emphasis on concepts that are important to our study which is really helpful.”
