PhD Economist · Native Spanish Speaker · Bilingual Math & ESL Tut

Elina C.

I hold a Doctorate in Economics and Econometrics from the University of Bristol, UK, an LL.M. in International Taxation from the University of Florida, and an Executive Leadership Certificate from the University of Oxford, all completed on full scholarship. I am a licensed lawyer and have taught university-level mathematics, statistics, economics, and law for over 15 years at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, the top-ranked law school in Latin America, where I received the Best Professor Award multiple times. I have also served as a visiting professor at four additional universities across Chile.

My teaching experience spans undergraduate and graduate students, executive government officials, and one-on-one private instruction. I taught in both English and Spanish throughout my career, adapting my approach to each student's level and learning style. My methods emphasize conceptual understanding over memorization, real-world application, and building genuine confidence in subjects that students often find intimidating. I am particularly skilled at making mathematics and economics accessible to students who believe they cannot do it.

As a native Spanish speaker raised and educated in Chile, with graduate studies at Oxford and Bristol and over five years of professional life in the United Kingdom, and currently living in South Florida, I bring authentic bilingual fluency and an internationally grounded perspective to every session. I have worked with students ranging from elementary school age through university level, always in one-on-one or small group settings, and I understand intuitively how to adapt pace, tone, and content to meet each student exactly where they are.
