Reed
Statistics Tutor • +13 Subjects
Hi my name is Reed and I am a graduate from Carleton College with a degree in Economics. I have a passion for helping students learn and achieve their academic and personal goals. At Carleton, I played Varsity Soccer, hosted a radio show, and served as an economics prefect/TA for introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want to help students of all ages and make them think and have fun while learning.

I am a current student at Cornell University with a 4.0 GPA. In High School, I was a National AP Scholar and a National Merit Finalist. I am passionate about helping students succeed, and I am patient and enjoy walking through multiple methods to help a student find what works best for them. I enjoy helping students reach their potential. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most interested in and best equipped to tutor students in SAT prep (math, English, and test-taking strategies), history, economics, and statistics. In my spare time, I am likely watching baseball, playing basketball, or watching The Office.
Jon
Macroeconomics Tutor • +7 Subjects
My B.A. is from Duke University and I completed all non-dissertation requirements for the Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, which was then the 7th-ranked Economics Ph.D. Program in the U.S. I also taught macro- and micro-economics at La Salle and Drexel Universities. I was rated highly by the students. In fact, for a particular spring semester at La Salle, 25 students petitioned the university to open another section of my microeconomics course, as my sections were filled to capacity. As a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, I tutored undergrads and Wharton MBA students in their macro- and micro-economics courses. I bring to the table over 40 years of experience as an economist with the U.S. government, academia, and the private sector (including with a large multinational Canadian bank) in a wide variety of areas, including international trade, macroeconomics, industry issues, and an immigration program. Given my interest in teaching, I continued to train many others in my positions with the U.S. government, including 70 colleagues in my last position. I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and seeing and helping others learn, grow, and develop. I realize that a good tutor/teacher is one who not only understands the subject, but can communicate it effectively, as well. My priority/goal is to help the student learn, and there are no "dumb" questions. (Anything is askable.) I also work to make it a pleasant, personable experience.

Gary
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +32 Subjects
I love math, and have a passion for sharing that love and knowledge. Progressing through courses of mathematics teaches much beyond what is on the page. It teaches problem-solving, critical and creative thinking. I try not only to teach the mechanics of math, but instill an appreciation for the skills the process can develop. And while math is my favorite subject to tutor, I have had training in and am qualified for all sections of SAT and ACT test prep, and enjoy working with students to help them learn and meet their college goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find the interconnected nature of macroeconomic models most difficult—particularly understanding how monetary policy, fiscal policy, and aggregate supply/demand interact. The Phillips Curve, foreign exchange markets, and the distinction between short-run and long-run aggregate supply often trip up test-takers because they require holding multiple economic relationships in mind simultaneously. Additionally, many students struggle with the graphical analysis required for these concepts; they can memorize definitions but freeze when asked to draw and interpret complex diagrams showing shifts in curves or movements along them.
The three FRQs require you to demonstrate both conceptual understanding and graphical communication. Start by identifying what economic model or concept the question targets—often the prompt contains keywords like "aggregate demand," "money supply," or "exchange rate." Then build your answer in layers: first explain the initial economic condition, then show the policy change or shock, then trace through the effects using graphs and economic reasoning. Many students lose points by jumping to conclusions without showing the causal chain; examiners reward clear step-by-step analysis even if your final answer isn't perfectly polished.
Graphical analysis is challenging because it requires translating between three languages: economic theory, mathematical relationships, and visual representation. Students often know that "higher interest rates reduce investment" conceptually, but can't reliably show this on an AD/AS diagram or loanable funds market graph. Improvement comes from practicing the same graphs repeatedly—AD/AS, Phillips Curve, money market, foreign exchange, and loanable funds—until you can draw them from memory and correctly identify what shifts versus what moves along a curve. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach: label axes clearly, identify which variable changes first, then trace the ripple effects through your diagram.
The exam gives you 60 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions (1 minute per question) and 50 minutes for 3 FRQs (roughly 15-17 minutes per response). The key is not spending more than 90 seconds on any single multiple-choice question—if you're stuck, flag it and move on; you can return if time permits. For FRQs, allocate your time by question difficulty: if one FRQ is clearly about a topic you know well, draft it first to build confidence and secure those points. Many students lose points by spending 25 minutes perfecting one FRQ while rushing through the others; aim for complete but concise responses across all three.
A common confusion point is mixing up which policy tools belong to which authority: fiscal policy (taxes and government spending) is controlled by Congress, while monetary policy (interest rates and money supply) is controlled by the Federal Reserve. To master their combined effects, practice working through scenarios where both policies move simultaneously—for example, "expansionary fiscal policy + contractionary monetary policy." This requires you to trace each policy's independent effect on output and price level, then determine the net result. Many exam questions test exactly this scenario because it challenges your understanding of how policies interact rather than just memorizing individual effects.
Confidence comes from repeated exposure to exam-style questions under timed conditions. Start by taking full-length practice tests at least 3-4 weeks before the exam, then review not just wrong answers but also questions you guessed on correctly—understanding why the right answer is right matters as much as catching mistakes. Identify your personal weak spots (perhaps exchange rates or monetary transmission mechanisms) and dedicate focused study sessions to those topics using both multiple-choice and FRQ practice. Finally, create a "cheat sheet" of the key graphs and economic relationships you want to internalize; reviewing this regularly in the weeks before the exam reinforces the core content that shows up most frequently on the test.
An effective macroeconomics tutor should be able to explain not just what happens in the economy, but why—connecting abstract models to real-world examples so concepts stick. They should be skilled at diagnosing where your understanding breaks down; for instance, recognizing whether you're confused about the concept itself, the graphical representation, or how to apply it to a new scenario. Additionally, they should be comfortable with the full range of AP content (from basic supply and demand through international economics) and experienced with the specific demands of the exam format, including how to structure FRQ responses to earn full credit. A tutor who can model their own problem-solving process—walking you through how they approach an unfamiliar question—is invaluable for building test-taking confidence.
Most students benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, with sessions roughly once or twice per week depending on your starting point and target score. If you're starting from a weak foundation (struggling with basic demand and supply), plan for longer and more frequent sessions; if you're aiming to move from a 3 to a 4 or 5, fewer, more targeted sessions on specific weak spots often suffice. Beyond tutoring, plan to spend 30-45 minutes on independent practice most days—working through multiple-choice sets, redrawing graphs from memory, or analyzing FRQ prompts. The weeks immediately before the exam should shift toward full practice tests and review rather than learning entirely new material.
