Bio

I hold a PhD in Economics from the CUNY Graduate Center, where I specialized in applied microeconomics, labor economics, and econometrics. During my six years at Hunter College, I served as the primary instructor for Introduction to Econometrics, Labor Economics, and Principles of Microeconomics, teaching over nineteen sections across these courses.

I hold a PhD in Economics from the CUNY Graduate Center, where I specialized in applied microeconomics, labor economics, and econometrics. During my six years at Hunter College, I served as the primary instructor for Introduction to Econometrics, Labor Economics, and Principles of Microeconomics, teaching over nineteen sections across these courses. I was also recognized with the Leland Gordon Prize in Economics during my undergraduate studies at Denison University, where I graduated cum laude with a degree in Philosophy, Political Science, and Economics. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Economics Letters and Scientific Data, and I work extensively with Stata, R, and Python for applied data analysis.

In peer evaluations of my teaching, a senior professor noted that I am "a natural in the classroom" who is "relaxed and confident, in complete control as a teacher, and energetic and dynamic," and that my rapport with students is "one of her strong points." Another colleague observed that my presentation was "very clear" and that "students were clearly following along with the material." This reflects the approach I bring to every session: clear explanations, patience with the process, and genuine investment in each student's progress.

Whether you are working on a PhD-level research project in Stata (especially with replication projects and DiD estimators), or taking a course in Microeconomics in college or high school, I tailor each session to be responsive to your priorities and level of comfort. I prefer to start by identifying the last point where the material felt solid, then work forward from there, breaking down new concepts and assignments into intuitive steps. However, if you need help with an assignment or exam urgently, I can help focus on the most important topics and highest-reward areas.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have taught and tutored calculus at every level, including Essentials of Calculus, Single Variable Calculus, and Multivariable Calculus. I also served as a teaching assistant for Multivariable Calculus II at Denison University. Since then, I have built a career in applied microeconomics that relies daily on the same calculus foundations, from optimization to differential equations, giving me a deep and current command of the material.
Econometrics

Econometrics

I hold a PhD in Economics from the CUNY Graduate Center, where econometrics was one of my primary fields of study. I served as the primary instructor for Introduction to Econometrics at Hunter College, teaching seven sections over a year and a half, covering topics from OLS and hypothesis testing through panel data methods, instrumental variables, and difference-in-differences. My published research applies these techniques to real-world policy questions using large longitudinal datasets like the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, and I work daily in Stata for data cleaning, estimation, and visualization. Whether you need help understanding the intuition behind an estimator, debugging a do-file, or interpreting regression output for a term paper or thesis, I can meet you where you are and build your confidence from there.
Microeconomics

Microeconomics

I taught undergraduate microeconomics at Hunter College for 6 years. I also have experience tutoring undergraduates in introductory and advanced microeconomics courses from my time in college. Additionally, my PhD field of expertise is in applied microeconomics, and I thus took several graduate microeconomics courses.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I had a minor in mathematics in college and took math-based courses during my PhD in Economics. I have an intuitive understanding of mathematics, especially proportions and number theory. I naturally break problems down into components, and identify steps to solve them. I also got high scores in mathematices on my SATs and GREs.
STATA

STATA

I have used Stata extensively since 2015 for every stage of empirical research, from cleaning and merging large panel datasets to running advanced econometric models and producing publication-ready tables and figures. As the primary instructor for Introduction to Econometrics at Hunter College, I taught students how to write efficient do-files, manage data workflows, and implement techniques including OLS, logit, probit, and LPM in Stata. My own published research relies on Stata for tasks ranging from data construction to entropy balancing and event study estimation, and I emphasize writing clean, well-documented code using loops and macros for reproducibility. I am comfortable helping with everything from basic data commands and syntax troubleshooting to advanced programming for original research projects.

Amazing Tutor

Twisha was wonderful! She was able to help me understand my assignment super last minute, and was able to break it down for me piece by piece. Very grateful for her, and I can't recommend her enough.

Hannah, 2 lessons with Twisha

Stata Expert

Twisha was extremely knowledgeable with Stata. She was familiar with the assignment before our session and answered all of my questions and helped me troubleshoot issues that arose due to my outdated version of Stata. Additionally, the session was extremely efficient, and I achieved more progress than I initially anticipated. Overall, this tutoring session was more than I could have asked for, and I will definitely be reaching out for help in the future.

Knowledgeable, Patient, and Supportive Tutor

I highly recommend Twisha as a tutor. She has been extremely helpful with my economics research and data analysis, particularly with data management, econometric analysis, and working with complex datasets. She is very patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to understand exactly what I am trying to accomplish before we begin working on a problem. What I appreciate most is her ability to break complicated research tasks into clear and manageable steps. She has helped me work through data merging, variable construction, and identifying problems in my analysis. She explains what we are doing and why, which has helped me better understand my own research. Twisha is also organized, reliable, and easy to work with. I have found our sessions very productive, and I always leave with a much clearer understanding of what I need to do next. I would highly recommend her to students working with economics, econometrics, data analysis, or research projects.
