Sara
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I'm a rising sophomore at Columbia University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My journey as a tutor began in 10th grade when I ran volunteer tutoring labs in math, physics, and chemistry. I had classmates struggling with stoichiometry, peers needing an algebra refresher, or a group of panicked kids with a trigonometry test the next morning. With a wide range of needs and urgencies, I learned how to break down complex ideas into approachable steps, fill in gaps in their understanding, and tailor each session to meet individual needs. I've guided high schoolers through personalized ACT and SAT prep, sharing my tips/tricks and improving their current test-taking strategies. I completely understand that tough subjects can be overwhelming when one is confused; the learning journey typically leaves you confuzzled/frustrated. However, I'm here to clear the fog. I focus not just on getting the right answers, but on building real understanding. I'm prone to using odd analogies, clear explanations, and customized study strategies that meet students where they are. My goal is to make students feel confident in their knowledge and problem-solving strategy.

"Make your life a masterpiece, imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do." -Brian Tracy B.S. in Cognitive Studies and Child Development & Education at Vanderbilt University; M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As an educator, I am honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge in order to contribute to the success of others! I firmly believe in a holistic style of education one that places an emphasis on the student as opposed to the content. From personal experience, I am aware that every person learns differently from one another and ground my style of teaching in what best suits my students. To me, it is important to empower all students and encourage their desire to learn; after all, exams and grades are only temporary, but knowledge lasts forever! I wholeheartedly enjoy teaching all subjects that fall within the realm of my expertise, but I am especially passionate about biology, chemistry, mathematics, writing, and most of all teaching how to learn!

Heberto
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am a graduate of The University of Colorado, Boulder and Harvard Kennedy School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and my Master in Public Policy with a focus on international and global affairs. Since graduation, I have worked in investment banking and management consulting, though I also have worked on government relations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, English Literature, and Math (namely algebra and pre-calc). In my experience helping students prepare for Standardized Tests, I like to focus on the writing and math assessments, as those tend to be challenging to many students. I believe in ensuring students are able to think independently and have the confidence to understand the material. I believe the subjects I tutor are necessary for students to succeed and I want to impart what I know to students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about history and geopolitics, hiking, and writing.
Susan
AP Microeconomics Tutor • +8 Subjects
I have a Ph.d in economics from Florida International University. I also have a masters in economics from Duke University and a B.S. from American University. I have taught economics in colleges and universities for over 20 years concentrating on principles courses which includes all AP econ. courses. I love economics and find it fascinating as every time a decision is made it involves economics and that includes decision on who you date and marry and where you live. When not teaching I love to read. I read a lot of non fiction from authors like Steven Pinker or Malcolm Gladwell. I am also involved in making society more accessible to people who are disabled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find supply and demand curves conceptually challenging—not just plotting them, but understanding how shifts occur and predicting market equilibrium changes. Marginal analysis trips up many learners because it requires thinking at the margin rather than in totals, which is counterintuitive. Time value of money and present value calculations also cause frustration since they demand comfort with both the math and the reasoning behind why a dollar today is worth more than one tomorrow. Additionally, students struggle to connect abstract concepts like opportunity cost and comparative advantage to real-world scenarios, and interpreting financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, cash flow) requires understanding both the mechanics and what the numbers actually reveal about a business.
Microeconomics and macroeconomics require different mental models—micro focuses on individual actors (consumers, firms) and markets, while macro examines aggregate phenomena like GDP, inflation, and unemployment. A tutor helps students build these models separately before connecting them, ensuring they understand why a firm's pricing decision differs from how central banks manage inflation. For AP Economics or college-level courses, this distinction is critical because exam questions often test whether students can apply the right framework to a given scenario. Tutors also help students see how microeconomic principles (like elasticity) inform macroeconomic policy decisions, deepening conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing definitions.
Economics is built on logic and incentives, not formulas to plug into. A tutor guides you through the reasoning—for example, why the elasticity formula measures responsiveness to price changes, and how that elasticity determines whether a firm should raise or lower prices to increase revenue. Instead of memorizing that MR = MC at profit maximization, you'll understand why firms compare marginal revenue to marginal cost and what happens when they diverge. This approach transforms concepts like comparative advantage, the multiplier effect, and financial ratios from abstract rules into tools you can apply to new situations. When you understand the logic, you can tackle unfamiliar problems on exams rather than freezing when the specific scenario doesn't match a memorized example.
Strong Economics tutoring bridges the gap between textbook models and actual markets by analyzing real companies, industries, and economic events. For example, when learning about market structures, a tutor might examine why tech companies operate as near-monopolies, how barriers to entry protect their pricing power, and what that means for investors. Supply chain disruptions become concrete examples of how supply shocks ripple through markets and affect inflation. Understanding financial ratios like debt-to-equity or return on assets moves from calculation to analysis—what does a high ratio tell you about a company's risk and growth strategy? This real-world grounding helps students preparing for CFA exams, MBA programs, or careers in finance see Economics as a practical toolkit rather than abstract theory.
Economics demands comfort with algebra, percentages, and interpreting graphs—but also statistical reasoning and basic financial modeling. Students need to calculate elasticity, work with present value formulas, interpret regression results, and build simple financial models (like a pro forma income statement). Many struggle less with the math itself and more with setting up the problem correctly: knowing which formula applies, what variables mean, and how to interpret results in context. A tutor reinforces these skills by working through problems step-by-step, ensuring you understand not just how to solve an equation but why that equation represents the economic relationship you're analyzing. This foundation is especially important for students aiming toward accounting, finance, or economics majors where quantitative rigor increases significantly.
AP Economics (both Micro and Macro) demands that you not only know concepts but can apply them to novel scenarios—the exam tests reasoning, not memorization. College-level Economics goes deeper into mathematical modeling and assumes you've mastered foundational logic. A tutor helps you move from "I can solve this practice problem" to "I understand this principle well enough to apply it in an unfamiliar context." They also help you develop the habit of drawing graphs, labeling axes carefully, and explaining economic reasoning in writing—skills that are heavily weighted on AP exams and college problem sets. Additionally, tutors can address gaps in prerequisite math or logic early, ensuring you're not struggling with algebra when you should be focusing on economic intuition.
Financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements) confuse students because they require understanding both accounting mechanics (debits and credits, GAAP principles) and what the numbers reveal about business performance. A balance sheet isn't just a list of assets and liabilities—it shows what a company owns, owes, and the equity stake of owners. An income statement isn't just revenue minus expenses; it reveals profitability at different levels (gross profit, operating income, net income) and helps you spot trends. A tutor breaks down these statements piece by piece, explaining why certain items belong in certain places and what ratios derived from them (like ROA, debt-to-equity, current ratio) actually tell you about financial health and risk. This understanding is crucial for anyone pursuing finance, accounting, or business careers.
Opportunity cost—the value of the next-best alternative foregone—is foundational to Economics, but students often treat it as a definition rather than a lens for thinking about decisions. A tutor helps you see opportunity cost everywhere: in a firm's decision to invest in Project A versus Project B, in your choice to attend college versus work, in a country's decision to produce guns versus butter. The key is recognizing that opportunity cost is specific to the decision-maker and context; it's not a number you look up, but something you reason through. Once you internalize this thinking, you can analyze trade-offs in supply chains, resource allocation, and policy decisions with clarity. This conceptual shift transforms how you approach Economics problems and prepares you to think like an economist in real-world scenarios.
