About me

Hello there ☺️👩🏻‍🏫

My name is Dina. I hold a MS in Resource Economics (GPA: 3.96), a BS in Economics and Statistics (GPA: 4.0) from two universities in the United States. I am currently working as a full-time teacher of AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and Statistics as well as a TOEFL/SAT tutor.

Apart from teaching, I love reading fiction and listening to music of any kind. I play the piano on my spare time and go out running to release any negative energy.

During my leisure time, I also like to watch crime documentaries while laying in bed with my beloved cat 🐈

I have started my teaching experience first working as a Math tutor for my university during my undergraduate studies. While pursuing my graduate studies, I also worked as a tutor for different economics subjects. For the past five years, I have been teaching high school AP economics and statistics. Here is a brief outline of my skills/jobs throughout the years:

✔️📊Teacher of AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics with CollegeBoard certified Syllabi

✔️📊Teacher of IB Economics aiding students with IAs, test preparation, extended essays, and theory of knowledge (TOK) essays

✔️👩🏻‍💻Tutor of Labor Economics to undergraduate students

✔️👩🏻‍💻Tutor of A level economics

✔️👩🏻‍💻Tutor of GCSE

✔️📖Teacher of TOEFL/GRE/SAT/IELTS courses to high schoolers and undergraduates

✔️📝College counselor to high school seniors, offering help in a) CV/resume writing, b) College Essay/Personal Statement writing, c) College and career interest identifications

I love teaching and I love helping students. I believe the ideal teaching environment combines learning with a student's needs. I think every individual is unique and I believe every class should be tailored to the individual's needs in order to foster effective learning.

My teaching revolves around using real-life examples and experiments because I understand the subjects I teach can be very theoretical. As such, I want students to have practical understanding of the theory.

I encourage you to send me a message first so we can discuss more about your learning goals and my skillset. Then do book a trial lesson with me and pave your path to success 💯 🎉 🎊

The best IB Economics tutor I could’ve asked for – thank you!! I WANT TO SAY THAT SHE HELPED ME GET 7s ON ALL THREE PAPERS!! Working with Dina has truly transformed the way I understand IB Economics. Before I started tutoring with her, I often felt overwhelmed by the content and unsure of how to approach exam questions. But from our very first session, Dina created such a supportive, encouraging space that I immediately felt more confident and capable. She doesn’t just teach – she genuinely cares. Dina takes the time to break down complex ideas in ways that actually make sense, and she always tailors her explanations to how I learn best. She’s incredibly patient, never makes me feel silly for asking questions, and somehow manages to make even the most challenging topics feel manageable. Her passion for economics is contagious, and her belief in me has kept me going even when I’ve doubted myself. Thanks to her, I’ve not only improved academically but I’ve also started to enjoy economics more than I ever thought I would. I’m so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and expertise. If you’re an IB student struggling with economics or just looking to reach your full potential, I can’t recommend Dina enough. She’s a gem

She is a passionate and professional tutor, often giving helpful examples when explaining concepts. She also provides a well-organized learning plan at the beginning of our classes, which makes me feel confident about the completion of the course before the exam.
