Bio

I am passionate about learning and teaching a diverse range of subjects - and in so doing expand my own and others' horizons. My focus areas are Philosophy, Economics, History and English - and beyond

I am an excellent tutor because I wish to inspire a love of learning and an interest in the subject at hand. Having studied a diverse range of subjects and taught English as a Foreign Language, I understand the value of learning through practice, gaining a deeper understanding of topics through full engagement with a topic and its conceptual underpinnings, and cultivating a growth mindset.

Reviews from others

“Leila has a lot of knowledge in the subject of Economics. She helped me a lot when I was struggling and was very patient with me.”
- Caitlin
“She takes the time to prepare for the lessons and goes the extra mile of finding additional material to help with various aspects that I was still unsure about. Having a time limit on the lesson has never been a problem as she is willing to explain until I actually get the idea. Overall, I have been happy with Leila. ”
