Online Economics Tutor Robert

I am writing this reference on behalf of my student Mr. Robert Crabtree, whom I have met in my capacity as a professor during his study at the Master of Science in Economics Programme at the University of Greenwich.

Robert was my student during February-March 2021 in the Macroeconomics module. My comments are based on numerous professional and personal interactions I have had with Robert, and my knowledge of his CV and his academic background.

During the tutorials, Robert stood out as a committed and diligent student. He was reading the weekly course material on time, paid attention to the details, and was very well prepared for the classes. He made insightful contributions in our tutorials about different theories as well as meaningful examples related to the current macroeconomic issues. The whole class benefited from his analytical skills, critical thinking, ability to explain and communicate complex concepts, and raise pertinent questions.

When we had appointments during my office hours, he had a well-prepared list of queries and was always punctual. He can pose challenging questions in a polite and open-minded manner, e.g., he was very considerate when he alluded me to a potential mistake in a mathematical expression in my lecture notes, about which he was correct, and I was pleased to learn something from my student.

Robert has also been the student representative of his cohort at the Programme, and he has met me in this capacity, expressing concerns by his classmates about the workload and time tabling issues in the Programme. Again, in these interactions, he was kind, mature, responsible, and supportive of the other students.

Overall, in our interactions, Robert has always been very easy to relate to and full of positive energy. In conclusion, as his former professor I can say that based on not only his performance, comments, and participation at the tutorials, but also judging by our different encounters in the office hour meetings, I wholeheartedly think that he will is a valuable tutor thanks to his strong intellectual ability, work ethic, personal qualities, and academic background.
