University of Melbourne
I have tutored across the undergraduate and graduate economics curriculum, spanning microeconomic theory, econometrics, behavioural economics, and finance. I believe that teaching, whether today as a tutor or in the future as an educator, is never merely about the transfer of knowledge. At its core, it is a profound engagement —a moment where one soul meets another, sparking curiosity, challenging assumptions, and inspiring growth.

1st yearWhat I tell my Honours students in the Last Tutorial
“If you do go on to a career in or around economics, please remember: since bachelors we model people as self-interested, but as economists, we should care deeply about welfare. At least, that is what I believe.”
In Their Words
Shared with permission or annonymously, and with my sincere gratitude.
You had a way of explaining complex, abstract ideas in simple, accessible language that made everything so much easier to understand. Your tutorial slides were always clearly structured and thoughtfully put together — they ended up being the most helpful revision material for my finals!
Her patient and logical explanations, including the economic intuition, were very helpful in understanding the concepts.
Gloria's tutorials were particularly helpful because she always started from the most fundamental definitions. This made it much easier to understand how the concepts from lectures could be applied in practice.
Gloria explained every question in great detail and gave multiple approaches. Her visual interpretations, like graphs, were very helpful, and her tips for exams were great. Her jokes were not only funny but effortlessly connected behavioural economics to everyday life, making it easy to remember. Her bright energy made me want to come to tutorial at 9 on a Monday morning every week.
Both as women in a male-dominated field, your words made me feel seen and supported in a way that only another woman could offer — a moment of genuine solidarity that reminded me how meaningful it is when women lift each other up. It gave me more confidence and passion for studying economics. And your final message in our last tutorial — “as economists, we ourselves should care deeply about welfare” — reminded me that behind the models and the math, this field is ultimately about people, and that's what makes it meaningful and beautiful.
