Information about Louis

I`m a recent Graduate from the University of Manchester [July 2021] with a Bachelor`s degree in Economics [2:1], having worked for a while as an Energy Trader I am now taking a break from corporate work.

I`m taking a year away from a corporate career and am seeking to help GCSE & A-Level [Economics, Maths] and Undergraduate students [Economics, potentially other areas of study which overlap with the subject e.g. Finance.]

I am also a native French speaker, so am capable of tutoring French-speaking students in addition to English speakers.

Availability: I`m available for remote (Zoom etc.) tutoring and face-to face tutoring in South Manchester

My schedule is quite flexible but before agreeing to particular hours I find it best to talk with students and figure out the best time of the week depending on co-curricular commitments and other workload (e.g. A-Level students with sports/music commitments and deadlines) to ensure that students are in the best headspace for sessions.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: As an Energy Trader, my work was more hands-on than academia, but I did develop my mathematical and programming skills and built my knowledge of energy commodity markets.

During my bachelors` I studied a variety of areas within the subject spanning from the more quantitative & mathematically heavy modules to those with a more empirical/historic focus. I firmly believe in the importance of breadth of study in the subject and the ability to cover all the bases in terms of analysis.

Below are categorisations of the different areas of study I undertook, the relevant modules and the specific subject areas within those covered.*

Core Undergraduate Economics:
- Advanced Microeconomics: Economics of Information, Auction Theories, Insurance markets etc.
- Advanced Macroeconomics: Neoclassical Growth Models, New-Keynesian Models, Short-run growth models, Barro Tax-Smoothing Model & Ricardian Equivalence, Barro-Gordon model of Monetary Policy.
- Micro-Economic Analysis 1-4: Various models of consumer behaviour, Walrasian equilibria, 1st and 2nd Welfare equilibriums, competitive markets and competition policy, fundamental microeconomic tools e.g. isoquants, intertemporal substitution models, Lagrangian & relevant calculus skills.
- Macro-Economic Analysis 1-4: IS/LM models, Short/Long-term growth models, models of inflation & central banking, as above, relevant quantitative skills required for these models
- Econometrics: Regression analysis, fixed-effects models, linear probability models, graphical plots, use of R studio, Auxilliary Regressions, Homo/heteroskedasticity (causes and remedies), structural breaks, spurious regressions (causes and remedies) etc.

Optional Modules undertaken
- Money, Banking & Financial Markets: understanding of dynamics of central bank operations, targets and mechanisms for policy, diagrammatic and algebraic expressions of the market for central bank reserves & the central bank balance sheet. Strong contextual/historical knowledge of financial markets in an economic context.
- Economic History & Topics in Economic History: In depth-study of the Great Depression and 2007/8 Great Financial Crisis, focus on monetary regimes and currency regimes throughout history, study of industrial revolution, Malthusian theories and western economic development in the 20th century.
- Public Policy & Public Economics: Study of relevant issues facing UK policymakers (Tax-Elasticity of Income, the Old-Age Dependency Ratio, Healthcare economics, distinction of normative and positive issues in public economics), More formal studies of theories of optimal commodity taxation, Ramsey Unit Taxes, Wealth taxes, Lump-sum taxation
- Financial Derivatives & Engineering: Black-Scholes option pricing, European/American Calls/Puts & Callable/Puttable Bonds, Interest rate futures/swaps/swaptions, CDS pricing, Equity index forwards/futures, commodity/currency futures/forwards, hedging techniques using said products
- Mathematical Economics - Convex/Concave sets, proofs by contradiction & induction, other basics of advanced mathematical economic analysis

A-Level and Below
- I`ve studied A-level Economics [Edexcel] and am very comfortable with the concepts & Skills required for these
- I`ve studied A-level [MEI OCR] and GCSE [Edexcel] Mathematics and have built on the skills required for these qualifications since.

*Please note this is not an exhaustive list of everything I have studied as part of my undergraduate and in my own time, so if there are any topics you need help with which aren`t mentioned please get in touch and ask me directly and I can let you know whether I can help :)

Louis was extremely helpful and patient, ensuring I understood the topics we went over. Not only this but he took time out of his day to research certain subjects making sure that I would gain the most from each session.
