I specialized in tutoring Microeconomics and Macroeconomics for students in IB and AP programs. I have students from various high schools in Turkey and besides that I also teach AP Microeconomics&Macroeconomics at a high school in Istanbul. I have a PhD in economics from Georgetown University and I have worked as an Associate Professor of Economics and Finance in various universities in Turkey.
With 10 years of experience as a Professor of Economics I do not let the students memorize the concepts. Instead I ensure that they get the logic and they are able to apply theoretical concepts to real life issues.

Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

Target audience: High school students (economics and social sciences, specializing in economics, preparing for the baccalaureate). Students in preparatory classes for business schools (ECS, ECE, BL) wishing to improve their methodology and understanding of major economic issues. Undergraduate students in economics, management, or social sciences needing reinforcement in specific areas.

Typical course structure:

1. Review of essential concepts using summary sheets and concrete examples.
2. In-depth explanation and practical application, with exercises adapted to the student's level (document commentary, detailed essay plans, case studies).
3. Methodological training to structure reasoning and argumentation, with correction and detailed feedback.

However, I emphasize my adaptability and kindness: each student is unique, and I strive to build a motivating and effective learning path, according to their needs and pace.

Excellent exam preparation skills: having obtained 18.5 on the HEC written exam and 17 on the oral exam, I am fully aware of examiners' expectations and the methods to maximize my chances of success. Solid academic background: as a Master's student in Public and Corporate Management at HEC Paris and Sciences Po, I have acquired a thorough understanding of economic mechanisms and public policy.

International and specialized approach: I attended the "Seminario de Economía Mexicana Contemporánea" in Mexico, during which I wrote a thesis in Spanish on economic relations between the United States and Mexico, as well as on the dynamics of nearshoring. This experience allows me to offer a broader perspective on global economic issues and to illustrate my courses with concrete examples of international trade and economic geopolitics.
