About

Each week, a bit of text will be assigned from a book, and we will go over some themes and questions.

The book is Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. It is John Perkins’s personal account of how he was recruited into a global system designed to expand U.S. political and economic influence. He describes working as a consultant who traveled to developing countries and created highly optimistic economic forecasts that encouraged those nations to accept massive loans for infrastructure projects. These loans often pushed countries into heavy debt, making them more dependent on the United States and its allies, while benefiting large corporations.

A background in economics, global politics, and the Cold War is appreciated, but not necessary to understand the book. Please also note that this book is at a University level in English.

Hi! My name is Isabela, and I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and reach their academic goals. I specialize in English, SAT prep, History, and Chemistry, and I enjoy breaking down challenging concepts into simple, step-by-step explanations. Outside of tutoring, I’m an honors student involved in leadership, volunteer work, and music, and I plan to pursue a career in chemistry and research. I know from experience that learning can feel overwhelming at times, but with the right guidance and practice, anyone can succeed. I look forward to supporting you on your learning journey!
