Some comments from students

• “Chiara went above & beyond with helping all students with a range of varying questions, whether it’s been more conceptual/theoretical question or understanding the basic math and functions that we need to understand to do the calculations. She was extremely gracious with her time, spending extended periods beyond what was regularly scheduled for office hours to help us.”
• “Her strength was making the material that seemed complex at first simple. I can’t think of a suggestion for improvement. I would recommend this student instructor for any econ classes!”
• “She is very good at explaining difficult concepts and translating them into real-world examples.”
