I am Dr. Alisha, a Cambridge-educated Economics Expert, former Economics examiner, and multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, with nearly two decades of experience helping students achieve success in Economics, Land Economy, and related courses like PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics).
While I have built a successful career as a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, I returned to tutoring because it’s my passion. Guiding students to excel academically, achieve their goals, and grow into confident, critical thinkers is deeply fulfilling. Tutoring is not just what I do—it’s where I thrive, combining my expertise with a personal commitment to helping students succeed.
