    About Me

    Hello there ☺️👩🏻‍🏫

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

    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 🐈

    Education

    I hold a Master of Science in Resource Economics and Policy as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Arts and Sciences with Concentrations in Economics, Management, and Statistics.

    Experience / Qualifications

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

    ✔️📊Tutored Economics and Statistics to undergraduate students
    ✔️👩🏻‍💻Tutored Labor Economics to undergraduate students
    ✔️💸Teacher of Economics and Statistics to high school students
    ✔️📖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
    TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language and is one of the most required tests for international upper education admission. A high TOEFL score not only improves your chances of getting admitted to the university of your dreams, it also paves the way to better scholarships. TOEFL consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing. We will make sure to dedicate class time to each section equally or focus more on one section you might need more help in. It’s completely up to you how you decide to structure the class. If you decide to take classes with me, I will make sure to walk you through all necessary tips and strategies needed to ace the exam. You will also take 3 full test exams graded by me as well as 5 more practice ones at your own timing
    This class is suited to aid you in preparing for the Collegeboard AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics exams. I have worked as an AP Economics teacher and tutor and have all the needed syllabi, AP classroom access, different textbooks (Krugman’s for AP, Barron’s, Princeton review), and the stamina to get you through the class and help you ace your AP exams. We will follow College Board’s course outline for the most part, unless you individually would like to cover specific units that you might need more help with. I will also use past exams to better prepare you for the AP exam and help you practice. Mid-course as well as on the very final day, we will complete full tests just so that you can get a better understanding of what areas you need improvement in as well as see how you have improved from having studied in this class. I usually structure classes based on Modules, covering first theory then exam questions related to the covered module.
    Economics and Statistics are subjects that have overarching impact in different areas of life. Whether you are a student looking to take this class to strengthen your understanding, or just someone that is interested to learn more about the subjects, I encourage you to give the class a try. My experience lies in teaching Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Statistics at a Beginner and Intermediate level, mostly aimed for graduating high schoolers and first year college students. I will make sure to cover all the material from your book(s) as well as problems. My classes are usually centered around chapters- for each chapter I spend 1-2 classes covering theory and 1-2 classes covering problems and solutions. We can awlays structure the classes as per your request, depending on what you need more help with.

    English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOs
    After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

    I have qualified as an English teacher over 14 years ago and I have been teaching it continuously ever since. My specialty are preparation classes from the Cambridge exams suite, especially A2 KET, B1 PET and B2 First. I have taught in several European countries such as Ireland, England, Romania, Italy and Spain, and in different education settings such as public schools, language academies, summers courses and online classes so I can adapt to different students needs. I can happily teach general English classes or simply help out with grammar, vocabulary or conversation improvement if that is what the student wants or needs.

    SAT preparation - online and in presence classes !
    I have worked for 5 years now with kids from international schools, helping them with the preparation of tests such as the SAT and ACT. I believe that the key for a successful preparation of a challenging test such as the SAT is exercise, in fact I believe that is crucial to start the preparation with an adequate advance to gain confidence with the standard exercises we can find in the exam. My lessons are based on mock exercises: we go through them together seeing what are the student's gaps and then reviewing the theory of those gaps. I also believe that my method I successful since I can relate to the fear and anxiety a student preparing such a stressful exam is living, having prepared it not so long ago.

    French, English, Wolof, and Turkish Tutoring lessons
    Online Lessons: In today's digital age, online lessons have become a convenient and flexible way to acquire new skills or knowledge. Whether it's language learning, academic tutoring, or professional development, online platforms offer a virtual space where learners can connect with educators from around the world. The advantages include accessibility, flexibility of scheduling, and the ability to access resources from the comfort of one's home. However, success in online learning often requires self-discipline and effective time management. In-Person Lessons: Traditional in-person lessons provide a face-to-face learning experience that has stood the test of time. From classrooms to workshops, in-person lessons offer a direct and personal interaction between the learner and the instructor. This method fosters a sense of community, allows for immediate feedback, and promotes a structured learning environment. In-person lessons are ideal for hands-on activities, group discussions, and activities that benefit from real-time collaboration. However, they may be less flexible in terms of scheduling and may require physical presence. Both online and in-person lessons have their merits, and the choice often depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the nature of the subject being taught.
