Economics Tutors:

Jack Dwyer

Jack has worked at Leading Edge since 2008 and is the coordinator of the Economics Success Package program. He completed his HSC in 2007 and received a UAI of 100. Jack is currently studying an Economics (Honours) and Law degree at the University of Sydney. He is a regular presenter at Leading Edge workshops and conferences, and has contributed to several editions of HSC and Preliminary Economics textbooks and workbooks. Jack is interested in the history of economic ideas, macroeconomic theory and other topics that make for obscure party conversation.

Diana Hu

Diana is a regular presenter at the Leading Edge Economics holiday workshops and the weekly Success Package and Preliminary classes, and has contributed to the Leading Edge economics textbooks, workbooks, economic updates and Conference papers. Diana is currently studying a combined Bachelors degree in Commerce and Law at the University of Sydney. Unfortunately, her University of Sydney Commerce and Law degree will be of little assistance in achieving her life goal: to be a national racing champion at cow riding (as she finds horses too fast).
