Postgraduate tutoring · Paramaribo & online
I tutor master’s students who need to actually understand the material — not just survive the exam. Econometrics, quantitative methods, micro and macro theory, and the financial maths people pretend they understood in undergrad.
Currently taking students for the spring term.
I teach the things students are most afraid to admit they don’t understand.
Most people arrive at a master’s programme with gaps. Not because they’re not capable — because undergraduate economics moves fast and quantitative methods get taught badly almost everywhere. Then suddenly you’re expected to run a regression and interpret it, and nobody ever really explained what the standard error is doing.
That’s the work. Finding the gap, filling it, and moving on.
I also invest my own money in the markets, which is relevant because it keeps the theory honest. It’s very easy to teach portfolio theory in the abstract. It’s harder — and more useful — to teach it when you’ve watched a model behave badly with real money attached.
I’m not a motivational tutor. I won’t tell you you’re doing great if you’re not. But I’m patient with genuine confusion, and I’ve never met a student who couldn’t get there.
01
OLS and its assumptions, panel data, time series, instrumental variables, limited dependent variables. Software: Stata, R, EViews. I’ll teach you the maths and the implementation, because knowing one without the other is useless.
02
Consumer and producer theory, general equilibrium, game theory, mechanism design, information economics. Mostly master’s core-course level, including the proof-heavy versions.
03
Growth models, DSGE basics, monetary and fiscal policy frameworks, open-economy macro. Includes the dynamic optimisation that trips most people up.
04
Time value, fixed income pricing, portfolio theory, options basics, risk measures. Where theory meets what actually happens in markets.
60 min, free
We work out what you actually need. Bring your syllabus, your last problem set, and whatever you’re stuck on. No commitment.
Usually 90 min
Usually weekly, online or in person in Paramaribo. I set work between sessions — not optional, it’s where the learning happens.
3–5 sessions
Intensive blocks before deadlines. Booked separately, usually three to five sessions close together.
| Single session (90 min) | SRD 900 |
|---|---|
| Block of 5 | SRD 4,000 |
| Block of 10 | SRD 7,500 |
| Dissertation support (per hour) | SRD 700 |
| Diagnostic session | Free |
Online and in-person same rate. Blocks don’t expire.
“I failed econometrics in my first semester. Lucy rebuilt it from the ground up with me over about two months and I passed the resit comfortably. She found the exact thing I’d misunderstood in week three of undergrad.”
“Straightforward, occasionally blunt, extremely good at explaining. She never once made me feel stupid for asking something basic.”
“I used her for dissertation methodology. Four sessions saved me probably six weeks of going in circles.”
Start with the free diagnostic. We’ll know within an hour whether I can help.
