Amitoz• Hi, I’m Amitoz! I’m in the third year of the

Economics (Hons.) program with a minor in philosophy. I started tutoring when I was very young, mostly helping my baby sister with homework, then graduated to helping friends prepare for finals and running study groups – all of which eventually led me here. When the opportunity presented itself, it only made sense to make the on-and-off part-time job that I’ve held for the last 7 years “official”! When I’m not nerding-out about economics and philosophy, or rambling about the LOTR universe, I can either be found hiking, taking naps in odd places, or continuing my search for the best Indian food in Alberta. If you ever need help, come say hi!

Lucy• My name is Naomi, but you can call me

Lucy. I have just begun my course-based Master in Economics here at the University of Alberta. Economics is a challenging field to understand, and I want to support you during these difficult times. I am a world traveller who loves cooking, Kayaking, and spending time with family and friends. Please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime as your emails are always welcome. If you have any concerns, we can schedule a Zoom call and get cracking! It’s going to be an exciting semester, and I’d love to support your journey in Economics.
