About Federico
I am a PhD economist at UCL and a Teaching Assistant for third-year undergraduates, which means I teach the degree these students are applying to. I read Economics and Industrial Organisation at Warwick with First Class Honours and completed the MSc and MRes at UCL with Distinction. Before the PhD I worked as an economist at Frontier Economics on competition cases, and I currently hold a visiting researcher position at the Bank of England.
I have prepared students for the TMUA and taught A Level Maths, Further Maths and Economics across OCR and Edexcel, with over 400 hours of teaching behind me.
The advantage of working with someone at this stage of an academic career is straightforward. An Oxbridge or LSE economics interview is an attempt to establish whether a candidate can think like an economist under pressure. I spend my working life doing exactly that, and I teach the undergraduates who cleared these interviews two years ago, so I know what the successful ones actually sound like.

I prepare candidates for economics and economics-adjacent courses across the universities that select on testing and interview — Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Warwick, UCL, Durham, Bath, Bristol, Nottingham and Lancaster among them. Requirements vary by course and change between cycles, so the first thing we establish is exactly what your target courses demand this year.
TMUA. Both papers, taught as separate skills. Paper 1 is speed and technique under severe time pressure. Paper 2 is mathematical reasoning, logic and proof, which almost no A Level student has been formally taught and which is where most of the marks are lost. Full past-paper coverage under timed conditions, with a diagnosis of where the marks are actually going.
TSA. For Oxford PPE and Economics & Management. Critical thinking and problem solving trained as distinct disciplines, plus the timed essay, where the failure is almost never knowledge and almost always structure under a clock.
Personal statement. Structural work and honest criticism, not rewriting. Everything in the statement must survive interview questioning, so we build it around genuine economic interests the candidate can develop under pressure.
Interview. Mock interviews in the real format: an unfamiliar problem, no preparation time, and follow-up questions that push until the candidate reaches the limit of what they know. That limit is the point of the interview, and candidates who have never been taken there panic when they arrive. Recorded on request, with written feedback after each session.
Wider preparation. Reading that holds up under questioning, and the habit of applying economic reasoning to current events — the thing that separates candidates who sound interested from candidates who sound coached.
I work with students from Year 12 onward, and earlier is better. The TMUA rewards months of technique work, and interview composure cannot be built in a fortnight.
Sessions run online with flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends throughout the application period. Book a 15-minute call and tell me the target courses, the test dates, and where the student currently stands.

Federico helped me so much with microeconomics and was truly amazing at explaining everything at a pace that worked for me. He was consistently patient and adapted his teaching strategies to my personal preferences. I would not have achieved the grades I did without his help and can only recommend him to anyone needing extra help with economics. Working on my dissertation with him was one of the best decisions - it made the entire process so much easier for me!
I had the privilege of working with Federico, an exceptional tutor who played a pivotal role in helping me write my master dissertation on AI and brand authenticity. His guidance and expertise were instrumental in achieving a very high grade for my dissertation.
Not only did Federico excel in academic support, but he also went above and beyond to assist me in my job search. His dedication to my success extended beyond the classroom, and I'm truly grateful for his support.
In addition to his professionalism, Federico is a genuinely lovely person to work with. I can’t recommend him enough. He is a true asset and has made a lasting positive impact on my journey.Federico is an exceptional economics tutor. His deep subject knowledge and patient teaching style make complex concepts understandable. He creates a comfortable learning environment, encourages questions, and provides real-world examples, fostering both comprehension and confidence. Federico's tutoring has been invaluable in my academic journey. Highly recommended!
Federico helped me for my Econometrics module in BSC Economics year 2 at university. He was extremely clear, patient and helpful in explaining all the concepts and theorems throughout the year. As someone who struggles with math and statistical coding, he was extremely helpful with both my weekly assignments and my dissertation at the end of the year. I’m very proud of the work that we put in and give all the credit to Federico - I couldn’t recommend him more as a tutor who clearly knows what he’s doing but also, in my experience, adapts to people’s strengths and weaknesses.
I know Federico having worked with him in a consulting firm. I can testify he is a great tutor since he trained me when I started my job in consulting. He helped me develop my skills with coding and data analysis. He has a very clear communication style and a fantastic attitude. In addition to being very knowledgeable and well-prepared
Federico tutored me for university-level Economics subjects, including Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics and Research in Applied Economics. Federico is very knowledgeable and, most importantly, extremely pedagogical. He tailored his teaching approach to my specific needs, and he excels at conveying complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. During the academic year, I was struggling a lot with those subjects, but Federico helped me to understand the material from the foundations up, and thanks to him I got Firsts (>70% in UK uni, the highest honours) in all my Economics-related modules. I am very thankful and grateful for Federico's help and I cannot recommend him enough.
Federico is an exceptional tutor. His passion for teaching, personalised approach, and unwavering dedication to his students make him outstanding. Federico’s ability to simplify complex concepts and create a comfortable learning environment is commendable. His reliability, punctuality and open communication further highlights his trustworthiness. I definitely recommend Federico as a tutor!
Federico is an incredibly knowledgeable tutor. Having worked with him on a project concerning econometrics I can testify his professionality and punctuality but most importantly the ease with which he explains complex conxepts. Could not reccomend him more.
Federico is an excellent teacher, able to simplify complex matters into understandable and easy to follow explanations. His in depth knowledge and understanding of his subjects make him an incredibly valuable source for anyone studying with his assistance, and his approaches to learning stimulate his students to critical think and use his teachings to maximise their potential. I highly reccomend him as a tutor.
Simply the best - knowledgeable, trustworthy and overall an amazing person. Thank you, Federico, for everything you have done for me!
We met during my master’s degree. Federico is very knowledgeable and exceptionally qualified. He is also excellent at explaining complex concepts.
