About Niamh Donnelly

Her assignments often cover topics like trade agreements, tariffs, foreign aid, poverty, inequality and growth in developing countries. When she receives a brief, she starts by working out what “side” the question is pushing you towards and what kind of balance the marker expects. Then she builds a structure with a clear line of argument from start to finish, using studies and examples that fit the word count instead of stuffing the work with names.

She is careful with tone: she explains complex ideas in steady, direct English, but still keeps enough depth so the work suits a second or third-year economics student. Niamh is also good at handling questions that ask you to “critically discuss” or “evaluate”, and will always make sure there is room for limitations and counter-arguments, which are key for higher marks.
