I truly enjoy teaching. With over 25 years of teaching experience at both university and high-school levels, I specialize in personalized instruction tailored to each student’s strengths, goals, and learning style. My teaching emphasizes strong foundations in economics and its real-world applications, which helps keep the subject engaging and relevant. I have a proven record of raising exam scores, strengthening analytical thinking, and developing the precise writing skills required for success in AP and IB assessments, as well as in university-level coursework. In addition, I provide targeted preparation for standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT, helping students improve critical reading, mathematical reasoning, and test-taking strategies to achieve top scores.

Beyond subject instruction, I have extensive experience mentoring students in advanced academic and personal statement writing for competitive college admissions. This includes guiding multiple students through the U.S. application process, mentoring my two daughters through their medical training admissions, and assisting university professors with clear exposition and effective academic writing. I help students articulate their ideas with clarity, confidence, and purpose—skills that are essential for standout college essays and long-term academic success.

I hold a PhD in Economics from Georgetown University and bring a long-standing background as an academic mentor who values trust, structure, and clear expectations. I work closely with students to assess their specific needs and provide targeted support where it will have the greatest impact. My approach encourages students to build confidence, set ambitious yet achievable goals, and continuously improve through thoughtful reflection and revision.
