A brief introduction

I am an experienced academic and educator with a long‑standing commitment to helping students realise their potential and navigate ambitious academic pathways. Having taught at Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London, I bring a combination of intellectual rigour, pedagogical insight, and genuine care for student development. My background spans macroeconomics, finance, and econometric methods, but my teaching philosophy is grounded in clarity, encouragement, and helping students articulate their strengths with confidence. I have supported learners from diverse backgrounds and academic levels, and I take pride in guiding them toward opportunities that align with their aspirations, values, and long‑term goals.

Consulting Experience

My professional journey includes more than a decade of teaching and academic leadership across some of the world's most competitive institutions. I have served as Director of Studies at Cambridge, taught postgraduate macroeconomics at Oxford, and now lead major MBA, MSc and BSc modules at Imperial College London's (Ranked 2nd in the world by QS Universities) Business School. Alongside this, I have supervised numerous undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations, sat on admissions committees, and advised students applying to highly selective programmes. Through writing and evaluating personal statements, recommendation letters, research proposals, and academic portfolios, I have developed a deep understanding of what UK and US admissions committees look for,  and how students can present themselves with clarity, coherence, and authenticity. This blend of academic expertise, admissions insight, and mentoring experience enables me to guide applicants through competitive international application processes with confidence.

Consulting Method

My approach is structured, personalised, and grounded in constructive, honest feedback. I begin by understanding each student's background and goals, then work with them to develop a strong, coherent narrative for their applications. I provide detailed guidance on programme selection, timelines, and written materials, drawing on my experience evaluating academic work and supporting high‑stakes submissions. I aim to help students produce compelling applications while gaining clarity about their academic identity and aspirations.
