Advert description
I am an economist and lecturer with nearly a decade of teaching experience at some of Europe’s most prestigious universities, including the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics, and Sciences Po.
My teaching and research span economics, econometrics, behavioural science, and development economics, and I have consistently been recognised for both academic excellence and outstanding teaching performance.
I previously served as a full-time lecturer at the University of Oxford (2018–2020) and have taught across Oxford, LSE, and Sciences Po since 2016. My roles have included Stipendiary Lecturer in Economics at St Edmund Hall (Oxford), Class Teacher in the LSE Economics Department, and instructor for a graduate econometrics course within Oxford’s History Faculty.
Across these positions, I have helped students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels master complex material in microeconomics, econometrics, and applied research methods.
My academic journey has been shaped by sustained excellence. I was awarded a competitive, performance-based full scholarship to pursue my MPhil and DPhil in Economics at the University of Oxford, where I completed my PhD in 2018 on the relationship between social comparisons and ethical behaviour.
Prior to Oxford, I achieved the best overall exam performance in my cohort at Durham University and received the prize for the best undergraduate dissertation, scoring 93/100. Throughout my teaching career, I have received multiple commendations, including bonuses for outstanding teaching at LSE and exceptionally positive feedback for my MSc econometrics lectures at Oxford.
My approach combines rigorous analytical training with clear, intuitive explanation, helping students build both confidence and technical mastery in economics and econometrics.
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.”
"Excellent teacher, great chap!”
“Engaging, smiley, look forward to his classes. One of the best teachers at LSE.”
