    About Me

    Recently moved to Shanghai after having spent 4 and a half years working as an actuary in New Zealand.

    Financial literacy is an important skill for kids to learn at an early age. I know many adults who would have loved learning about it earlier.

First, they will learn and think about how and why saving money: - short-term and long-term goals they can save for (e.g. a toy, a trip, college education). - how to create a budget and track their spending. - Compound interest and the impact of starting to save early. How to spend money wisely: - difference between needs and wants. - how to compare prices and make informed purchasing decisions. - learn what is impulse buying and method to take the time to think before spending. How to managing money: - Keeping track of spending and creating a budget - Different types of bank accounts, type of money and currencies - learn what are credits, how they work and how it can impact their finances in the future. This class is made for kids, so it'll include use games, puzzles, and interactive activities to help them understand the concepts while having fun.

    Business and Legal Second Language English for Professionals and Students (including Real Estate Agents)
    I offer 2 approaches to ensure that you improve the level of your Business or Legal English performance. One will be content-driven, structured lessons extending your vocabulary and brushing up on your grammar. The other will be more chilled and conversational, where I sneak in some new vocab, introduce useful expressions and correct your grammar. Either way, we will work to improve your speaking, writing, reading and listening skills to increase your confidence to use English in your daily work functions and tasks, such as formal emails, report writing, negotiations, presentations and court appearances. Confidence is key and I am sure I can instill it in you. I can assure you that once your confidence improves so will your ability to use English in whatever form is required.

    Necmi
    Experienced Tutor Offering Lessons in Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Business Economics, Math for Economists, and Statistics
    I have 15 years of experience as a research and teaching assistant, having worked at various universities and private educational institutions in both the U.S. and Turkey. I’m also a software developer. My interests include photography, music, and nature. Seeing my students grow and succeed is my greatest source of joy. In fact, I consider myself a lifelong learner — and my students are often the ones I learn the most from. I begin by conducting an in-depth interview to understand the student's specific needs. Based on this, I identify the key topics to focus on. I then deliver my lessons using real-life examples (including mathematical expressions), in an engaging and easy-to-understand manner. Throughout the process, I make sure everything is clearly understood. I also regularly collect feedback from the student to identify and address any remaining gaps.
