Stephen

Calculus Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am currently an adjunct professor of economics at Fordham University in Manhattan. My degrees are from Rice University (PhD) and Yale University (BA) The PhD is in economics, and that was my major as an undergraduate. Teaching the subject I love is rewarding, working with students to promote their careers (e.g., letters of recommendation, mentoring internships, counseling) is doubly rewarding. I strongly believe in personal engagement with students, while always maintaining the correct standards of scholarship. I should add, finally, that I am also a market researcher for private clients for over 30 years and am currently focusing on urban/suburban mobility markets. I enjoy jogging in the outdoors (no crowded gyms for me) and make a real effort to stay in shape. I would look forward to helping you master the subject of economics!

Ankit

AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.

Shreya

AP Statistics Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am currently a student at Yale University. I'm a prospective Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major on the pre-med track. Throughout high school, I have tutored students in a vast variety of subjects through National Honors Society. I have also worked with ESL students through Spanish Honors Society. As a college student, I have taught various interactive science subjects to New Haven elementary students over zoom as part of the Demos organization. In addition to academic subjects, I have also privately tutored students in violin. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and English. In my experience, helping students prepare for Standardized Tests and classroom subjects is the most rewarding. It's unforgettable to see a student's tangible progress, and to help them conquer their difficulties!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students who start at a 2 or 3 often improve significantly—sometimes 1-2 points—with focused preparation on weak topics and test-taking strategies. If you're already scoring a 4, reaching a 5 typically requires mastering the most challenging free-response questions and avoiding careless mistakes on the multiple-choice section. The key is identifying your specific weak areas early and dedicating time to targeted practice rather than reviewing material you already understand well.

Students often struggle most with monetary policy, the money multiplier, and how changes in interest rates ripple through the economy. Phillips Curve analysis and the relationship between inflation and unemployment also trip up many test-takers. The free-response section presents an additional challenge since it requires you to explain not just what happens, but why—drawing connections between different economic concepts. A tutor can break down these interconnected topics into digestible pieces and help you practice explaining them clearly, which is exactly what AP graders are looking for.

The exam gives you 2 hours 10 minutes total: 1 hour 10 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions (roughly 1 minute per question) and 1 hour for 3 free-response questions (about 20 minutes each). The multiple-choice section should move quickly—flag tough questions and come back to them if time allows. For free-response, budget time wisely: spend 2-3 minutes planning your answer, then write clearly and concisely. Many students lose points by rushing the FRQ section or spending too much time on a single multiple-choice question. Practice with full-length timed tests is essential to build this pacing muscle before test day.

An effective AP Macroeconomics tutor should deeply understand both the content and the exam format—knowing which topics are tested heavily versus rarely, and how the College Board phrases questions. They should be able to explain complex concepts like monetary policy and exchange rates clearly, help you avoid common misconceptions, and give you honest feedback on your free-response writing. It also helps if they're familiar with the specific rubric AP graders use, so you know exactly what earns full credit. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have proven expertise in AP Macroeconomics and understand what it takes to score a 4 or 5.

Free-response questions reward clear economic reasoning and proper use of vocabulary—not just correct answers. Before writing, spend a moment outlining your response so it flows logically. Use graphs when asked, label everything clearly, and avoid vague language like "it goes up." Instead, explain mechanisms: "An increase in the money supply decreases interest rates, which increases investment spending, shifting aggregate demand right." Practice grading your own FRQs using the official AP rubric so you understand exactly what earns points. A tutor can review your written responses, identify where you're losing points, and help you develop a formula for consistently earning 7-9 out of 9 points on each question.

Most students benefit from 3-4 months of consistent preparation leading up to the May exam. If you're starting in January, aim to cover major units (economic indicators, supply and demand, aggregate demand and supply, monetary policy, international economics) by early April, then spend your final month on practice tests, review, and targeted work on weak areas. If you're starting later or struggling with the material, more intensive tutoring earlier on can accelerate your progress. The goal is to finish content review with enough time for meaningful practice, not just cramming. Consistency matters more than total hours—regular sessions with a tutor help keep you accountable and on track.

Read each question carefully and try to answer before looking at the choices—this prevents the test makers from tricking you with plausible-sounding wrong answers. Eliminate obviously incorrect options first, then decide between the remaining two. Watch out for absolute language like "always" or "never"—correct answers usually include more nuanced wording. Don't leave blanks; there's no penalty for guessing. If you're stuck, mark it and move on rather than burn time—you can return to harder questions if time permits. Taking full-length practice tests regularly helps you refine this strategy and identify which question types consistently give you trouble, so you can focus your tutoring sessions on those specific weak points.
