Teaching

I am passionate about teaching economic concepts to others. I particularly enjoy working with students who have never been exposed to economics before, and watching them as they learn a new way of thinking about and approaching problems. I try to focus on demystifying concepts for students so they can understand the fundamental ideas on their own terms; I find those lightbulb moments where a student “gets” an idea for the first time particularly gratifying.
