I am a former Graduate Student Instructor at the University of Michigan, where I taught undergraduate courses in microeconomics and systematic thinking. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Michigan and a Master of Public Policy, with advanced coursework in quantitative analysis, program evaluation, and applied economics. My academic training emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical application, particularly in economics, public policy, statistics, and analytical writing. I am currently continuing graduate-level study while working professionally in public administration.
As a Graduate Instructor, I led multiple discussion sections serving approximately 125 undergraduate students, including honors students. My responsibilities included explaining economic models, guiding students through problem sets, and supporting written assignments such as analytical essays and policy memos. I also provided extensive one-on-one and small-group tutoring during office hours, adapting explanations to different learning styles and levels of preparation. This experience required helping students build confidence with quantitative reasoning while developing clearer, more structured academic writing.
My teaching experience also includes tutoring English as a Second Language students during high school in one-on-one and small-group settings. Working with ESL learners helped me develop patience, clarity, and an ability to explain complex ideas in accessible language. That early experience continues to inform my tutoring approach today. I work with high school, undergraduate, and adult learners, focusing on structured explanations, step-by-step problem-solving, and reinforcing foundational understanding so students can apply concepts independently.
