Bernice P - Tutor in Northdale

I am a charismatic, motivated, overly enthusiastic individual who is extremely passionate about all things economics. I am particularly interested in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy in developing countries. I hold an Honours degree in economics from Rhodes University and have been fortunate enough to have received scholarships to complete a Master of Commerce degree in financial markets, also at Rhodes University for which I am awaiting final results. My research focus for my Masters thesis was on the effect of sector FDI on employment and growth in South Africa. This topic was an extension to my Honours research which focused on International investment agreements and their effect on IBSA countries' FDI and policy space. During my academic career, I have worked various jobs at the university that have provided me with essential tools to commence assist other students. I am an experienced economics tutor in macroeconomics, public finance and econometrics up to Honours level. I have also coordinated the economics tutorial programme at Rhodes University and as such, I possess a wide variety of tutoring and mentoring skills. I hold 3 RPE certificates from the South African Institute of Financial Markets (SAIFM) including: introduction to financial markets, the money market and the bond market. I have also attended 2 GTAC/National Treasury winter schools in 2017 and 2018. I was also fortunate to attend the Investec Navigate Programme in 2019.
