An introductory economics course for undergraduates / general readers

From 23 £ /h

This class is designed for students who are new to economics, as well as learners from other academic or professional backgrounds who want to develop a solid understanding of economic thinking and fundamental economic theories.

With more than 4 years of teaching experience, I have learned that the most effective way to teach economics is not simply to explain theories, but to encourage students to think like economists. Instead of memorizing definitions and models, we will explore why economic ideas make sense and how they can be used to understand the world around us.

Real-life examples and practical applications are at the heart of this class. We will connect economic theories to everyday decisions, businesses, markets, government policies, prices, and other situations that students encounter in real life.

The goal is to give you more than an introduction to economics: by the end of the class, you should have developed a way of thinking that allows you to look at real-world situations through an economic lens.

About Me

I am an economist with a strong academic and professional background in economics, econometrics, and applied economic research. I currently work as Head of the Market Intelligence Division at an esteemed government organization, where I lead economic research and market analysis projects and support evidence-based policy and competition decisions.

I enjoy teaching economics and helping students understand not only the theory, but also how economic concepts are applied to real-world problems. My teaching approach is practical and student-focused: I break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and adapt the explanation to the student's level and learning objectives.

I can help students with economics, statistics, research methods, and quantitative analysis, from introductory concepts to more advanced university-level material.

Education

• MSc in Economics — Sapienza University of Rome, Italy (2021)
Thesis: “Using Gravity Model to Explain the Migration of Highly Skilled Egyptian Labor”

• BA in Economics — Alexandria University, Egypt (2016)

Experience / Qualifications

I have several years of university-level teaching experience in economics. I have taught and supported students in understanding economic theory, quantitative methods, and applied economic concepts, and I particularly enjoy breaking down difficult topics into clear and intuitive explanations.

My current work involves applying economic theory and econometric methods to real-world markets, conducting market research and economic analysis, working with large datasets, and developing evidence-based analysis for complex economic questions.

My areas of expertise include microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, statistics, economic research methods, data analysis, and academic research. I can also help students with quantitative analysis and commonly used tools such as Excel, EViews, SPSS.

My teaching approach is adapted to each student's level and objectives. Whether the goal is to understand a difficult concept, prepare for an exam, work through econometrics or statistics exercises, improve research skills, or receive guidance on an academic project, I focus on building a clear understanding rather than simply providing answers.

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.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics

...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Economics & Business Economics tutoring – aimed at final exam success

I help final-year students with economics and business economics, from pre-vocational secondary education (MAVO) to pre-university education (VWO). With over five years of experience as a tutor, I know exactly what students struggle with and how best to approach exam questions.

My coaching is practical, effective, and results-oriented. The focus is on practicing exam skills, learning clever tricks, and understanding the structure of exam questions. This way, students learn not only the material but also, and more importantly, how to approach questions.

All tutored students completed their final exams with at least 1 grade point higher.

Want to take your economics or business economics exam with more confidence and clarity? I'd be happy to help!

Suitable for Havo 3,4,5
VWO 4,5,6
Mavo 3
There is also an opportunity for HBO/WO students with business economics issues!

I offer accounting courses for secondary school students, particularly in vocational training, as well as for first-year bachelor's students at university or college.

The objective is to help the pupil or student understand accounting logic, master important entries and know how to solve exercises in a structured way, whether for a quiz, an exam, a qualification or a refresher course.

I primarily support pupils and students who wish to review the basics, better understand accounting mechanisms and practice on typical exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Basics of accounting:
debit/credit, asset and liability accounts, expenses and revenues, chart of accounts, account logic, supporting documents and reading statements.

• Journal and accounting entries:
recording of current operations, purchases, sales, payments, receipts, VAT, customer and supplier accounts, entries with or without discount.

• VAT and commercial transactions:
VAT to be recovered, VAT to be paid, purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes, trade discounts, rebates, incidental expenses and calculations related to commercial transactions.

• Depreciation:
straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, depreciation schedules, depreciation charges, net book value and year-end entries.

• Provisions and adjustments:
provisions, deferred charges, accrued income, charges to be allocated, deferred income, inventory entries and year-end adjustments.

• Balance sheet and income statement:
construction of the balance sheet, assets/liabilities, equity, debts, expenses, revenues, profit or loss for the year, link between the income statement and the balance sheet.

• Basic financial analysis:
working capital, working capital requirement (WCR), net cash, simple ratios, reading and interpretation of financial statements.

• Cash flow:
operating cash flow, investment cash flow, financing cash flow, distinction between accounting profit and cash flow.

• Exam/qualification preparation:
Typical exercises, past quizzes, exams, case studies, problem-solving methods, guided correction and identification of common errors.

I can also help with economics depending on the level and program, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomics: supply and demand, elasticities, costs, competition, market, growth, inflation, economic policy and basic models.

Method of working :

1. We identify the chapters that pose a problem;
2. I will re-explain the accounting logic with simple examples;
3. We redo the exercises step by step;
4. I show how to recognize the type of writing or calculation required;
5. We construct a clear method so that the student can do it on their own.

I do not limit myself to giving a correction: I explain the reasoning behind each writing and each calculation so that the subject becomes more logical and less mechanical.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I also have a degree from Solvay/ULB and professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte, which allows me to explain accounting with an approach that is academic, university-level, and practical.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I offer individual tutoring in Statistics, Probability, Quantitative Methods and related mathematical subjects for school, IB, AP, SAT, Fachhochschule and university students.

Statistics can initially feel confusing because many formulas and methods appear similar. My approach is therefore focused on understanding the logic behind the method rather than simply memorising formulas.

We always ask:

- What information is given?
- What exactly needs to be found?
- What type of statistical problem is this?
- Which method should be used?
- Why is this method appropriate?
- What does the final result mean?

I have several years of experience teaching students from Swiss and international education systems and regularly support students in Statistics, Mathematics, Probability and Data Analysis.

Topics can include:

- Descriptive statistics
- Mean, median and mode
- Quartiles
- Variance
- Standard deviation
- Probability
- Conditional probability
- Tree diagrams
- Combinatorics
- Permutations and combinations
- Random variables
- Expected value
- Binomial distribution
- Normal distribution
- Sampling
- Sampling distributions
- Central Limit Theorem
- Confidence intervals
- Hypothesis testing
- p-values
- t-tests
- Chi-square tests
- Covariance
- Correlation
- Pearson correlation
- Linear regression
- Regression equations
- R2
- Data interpretation
- Statistical modelling
- Business Statistics
- Quantitative Methods

I can support students preparing for:

- IB Mathematics AA
- IB Mathematics AI
- IB Probability and Statistics
- AP Statistics
- SAT Math
- Swiss Matura
- Passerelle
- Fachhochschule Statistics
- University Statistics
- Business Statistics
- Economics Statistics
- Quantitative Methods
- Introductory Data Analysis

SAT Math preparation can additionally include:

- Algebra
- Advanced Mathematics
- Ratios and percentages
- Word problems
- Tables and graphs
- Data analysis
- Probability
- Geometry
- Trigonometry
- Desmos strategies
- Time management
- Faster problem-solving methods

For AP, FH and university students, we can go deeper into statistical reasoning and interpretation.

Lessons can include:

- Theory explained in simple language
- Step-by-step calculations
- Formula selection
- Exam-style questions
- Longer case studies
- Interpretation of statistical results
- Reading graphs and tables
- Understanding statistical output
- Improving mathematical notation
- Exam preparation

With regression, for example, we do not simply calculate correlation or R2. We also discuss what these values actually mean in the context of the question.

With hypothesis testing, students learn the complete logic from hypotheses to test statistic, p-value, decision and final interpretation.

My goal is to make Statistics feel logical, structured and manageable rather than like a collection of unrelated formulas.

Struggling with a finance course? Or did you walk into one without any background at all and now have to learn it from scratch?

Either way, I am here to help. Corporate finance, derivatives, fixed income, valuation, portfolio theory. Whatever your course throws at you, we build the foundation properly rather than skimming the surface to get you past one exam.

Just send me your syllabus and the topics you want to cover, and I will prepare before the class so we use the hour on your material, not on working out what your course actually asks for.

A bit about me: MSc Finance at Bocconi, CFA Level 1, an off-cycle internship on UniCredit’s structured credit team, and an engineering degree before that. I have sat these exams recently, so I know which topics carry the marks and where people lose them.

How I teach: I use simple analogies and try different routes until one lands, instead of repeating the same explanation louder. Lessons are two way, not lectures. Ask the questions you think are too basic, because those are usually the gap that everything else is failing to stand on.

As a high school Economics and Management teacher and former lawyer, I currently teach law and economics in the final year of STMG (Science and Technology of Management and Business).
I offer private lessons to high school and university students who wish to better understand these subjects, consolidate their knowledge, acquire an effective work method or prepare for an exam.
In law, we work on understanding legal concepts and vocabulary, classifying facts, formulating legal issues, identifying applicable rules, and constructing rigorous legal reasoning. Depending on the level, support may also include practical cases and methodological exercises for higher education students.
In economics, I prioritize understanding mechanisms rather than mechanical learning: mastering concepts, analyzing documents and data, mobilizing knowledge and constructing a reasoned response.
The sessions are tailored to each student's needs: reviewing a poorly understood chapter, reinforcing fundamental concepts, methodology, targeted exercises, and preparing for an assignment or exam. I can also provide summary materials when necessary.
Particular attention is paid to the quality of reasoning, the precision of vocabulary, and written expression.
My goal: to enable the student to understand, reason methodically and gradually become autonomous.

Additional materials + practice qs | Lesson plans | Recording + session notes available

Our time together starts by mapping out a clear goal - better grades, understanding the content at a deeper level, or even the small things like figuring the "diagram bits" out. Whatever the goal, we'll lay it out and build a plan around it.

Each lesson is tailored to this plan, with one common theme - simplify
When they ask to "Assess whether a government tax on producer-side pollutants is the best way to reduce market failure."

We'll know exactly:
- What market failure actually means, and how governments fix it
- How to develop points for an "assess" question
- Which diagram we can use to flesh out our answer (and how to explain it properly)
- and many more pro tips :)
