Tutor

Ms Houston

Economics Tutor

Hi, I'm Ms Houston from Chicago. I have been teaching for 20+ years in schools in Chicago, Panama, Cyprus, Malaysia, and the Netherlands. After leaving traditional classroom teaching, I settled in the Hague with my feline teaching assistant, Lulu, where we spend rainy afternoons reading the Economist. While many of you may be unsure what economics is, or if it will be boring, IMHO, it really is a fascinating way to examine the behaviour of individuals, political leaders, and firms. It definitely is NOT a dismal science. I love the "it depends" nature of econ, and using fun real world examples to learn concepts. I hope to see you in class soon!
