Matthew

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +15 Subjects

Growing up, I was labeled by my family as "the future rich man." By narrowing my focus to myself, I was always able to achieve my goals more efficiently. This worked plenty for me, as I had just been accepted to the best high school in the state and had a high GPA. However, this turned out to be a less-than-stellar strategy when it came to fulfillment. Oftentimes, my obsessive focus on my work led to a social battery only matched by Wednesday Addams and an emptiness that I had struggled with for a long time. While achievements like Honor Roll were nice to have, they never brought any sense of purpose. However, in 11th grade, I got a life-changing opportunity: I would volunteer to help coach and take statistics for the local high school varsity girls' basketball team that my mom was coaching. Upon hearing about this opportunity, I was ecstatic since I could further fill my resume with an activity I had already enjoyed in previous years. My family had always been united by basketball: Whether it was my mom and family watching Lakers games or our traditional Thanksgiving three-on-three games, I had been studying the game for nearly my entire life. However, as time went on, volunteering became more than just an opportunity to engage with basketball. Once she began coaching, I often had the privilege of hearing her rant about the team. She would come home and immediately start pacing around the living room, trying her hardest to strategize while not losing her patience. However, these tangents also came with bits and pieces of their lives, worries, and future aspirations: many of them lived in low-income households, had issues with anxiety, and had dreams to be doctors or entrepreneurs. Every time I heard one of these stories, it not only made me feel a greater connection to them and their goals, but it made me think about what I should do to help them. Around December, I decided to set up some meetings for SAT/PSAT tutoring for the team, which would help both myselfwho needed to take it that yearand the team, who would be introduced to these topics for the first time. Throughout that meeting, the aroma of coffee and cinnamon rolls filled the local Panera, which would sometimes give us free coffee and bread. As we studied, a girl on the teamwho wanted to be an engineerasked for help on a problem with proportional triangles. I noticed the both confused and frustrated look on her faceEnglish was not her first language, so she was trying her hardest to take every word I said and translate it into her own language, while I drew diagrams of triangles on the page. This only made me more determined; I brought in every possible real-world example I had in my mind to help her understand. Finally, with a glow of satisfaction, she understood the problem and completed the next example with ease. However, this not only created a feeling of gratification for her, but also for myself, as this moment brought me fulfillment I had not felt before. Sitting in that Panera explaining Algebra 1 concepts, I realized exactly what I needed to fill the void. When I got home, I couldn't help but have a smile on my face, because I finally knew what I was doing wrong: the obsessive focus on my own achievements was withholding the sense of contentment that comes from helping others. I realized that the unfillable void could only be filled by helping others achieve instead of achieving more for myself. Whether it is tutoring while managing my school work or doing community service before performing for the school's concert band, I knew moving forward my life had to have a balance. Ultimately, being "the future rich man" will mean being truly fulfilled.

Destiny

AP Statistics Tutor • +50 Subjects

Hello, my name is Destiny and I graduated from Howard University. I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Administration of Justice. One of the most important lessons I've learned from school is the value of asking for help. This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you. In many cases, learning in a traditional school setting is not effective and students should feel free to reach out for extra guidance. I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I believe that everyone learns in their own way and that the key to helping someone else lies in finding their unique style of learning. I take great pleasure in finding those styles and using them to enrich students minds. My main areas of expertise are Psychology and English. Ive been reading at a college level since middle school and scored 5s on both AP English tests. I also scored a 5 on the AP Psychology exam in addition to receiving As in all my psychology classes. I have extensive experience with essay writing, essay editing, and researching. Other subjects I can assist with include Algebra I and II, Geometry, and SAT/ACT prep. Outside of class, I like to stay busy with school activities and hobbies. I spend most of my time playing the trumpet in my schools marching band or studying. But when I have free time, I typically catch up with my shows or read.

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.
