  • Oxford/Cambridge, economics and management
  • Cambridge
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Economics at Cambridge University alongside studying for a CFA qualification. I completed my undergraduate education in Economics and Management (graduated 2015). Brought up in England and India, I finished my schooling in Kolkata, where I studied English, Maths, Economics, Physics, Chemistry, Environmental Science and Physical Education in my ISC (Indian A-level equivalent examinations). I have recently published a paper on millennial savings attitudes in 7 national financial markets and am interested in working in the financial sector.

            I want to enable students to approach the subject matter with a strong knowledge of fundamental concepts so that they can tackle even challenging problems with confidence. This will help them show their abilities to examiners and also give them a head start when it comes to further studies and interviews.     I prefer to run tutorials with a great deal of flexibility as I believe it is best to work to each student's individual set of strengths and weaknesses which may vary widely across the board.

            I have been tutoring for over a year now, mainly in one-on-one sessions.

            At university, outside of my course workload, I work as a researcher and research assistant.  At Oxford, I also founded the Economics & Management society and was Vice-President of the Oxford Guild, the UK's oldest professional student society.  I also enjoy running and boxing.
