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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Microeconomics requires students to think abstractly about how individuals and firms make decisions based on incentives and constraints. The biggest hurdles typically include understanding supply and demand curves, grasping elasticity concepts, and applying mathematical models to real-world scenarios. Many students struggle with the transition from memorizing definitions to reasoning through economic problems, especially when graphs and calculus are involved. Personalized tutoring helps identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuilds foundational concepts before moving forward.

In a classroom setting, instructors move through material at a pace designed for the average student, which often leaves gaps in understanding. With personalized tutoring, a tutor can slow down on concepts you find challenging—whether that's consumer theory, production costs, or market structures—and accelerate through areas where you're already strong. Tutors can also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, use examples relevant to your interests, and immediately address misconceptions before they compound into bigger knowledge gaps.

An excellent microeconomics tutor combines deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. They should be skilled at translating abstract economic theories into tangible examples—showing how supply and demand applies to concert tickets or housing markets, for instance. Great tutors also ask probing questions to uncover what students truly understand versus what they've memorized, then adjust their approach accordingly. They're patient with the mathematical components of microeconomics and can help students develop problem-solving strategies rather than just providing answers.

With consistent personalized tutoring, students typically see improvements in several areas: higher test scores and exam performance, deeper conceptual understanding that transfers to new problem types, increased confidence when analyzing economic scenarios, and better grades in introductory economics courses. Many students move from viewing microeconomics as a collection of formulas to memorize into actually understanding how individuals and firms behave in response to incentives. The timeline for improvement depends on your starting point and how frequently you meet with a tutor, but most students notice measurable progress within 4-6 weeks of regular sessions.

Tutoring covers the full spectrum of introductory and intermediate microeconomics: consumer and producer theory, utility maximization and budget constraints, elasticity of demand and supply, market structures (perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition), factor markets, game theory, and welfare economics. For advanced students, this may extend to asymmetric information, externalities, and public goods. Tutors align their focus with your specific course curriculum and textbook, whether you're taking AP Microeconomics, an introductory college course, or an upper-level economics class.

While microeconomics isn't purely mathematical, comfort with graphs, basic algebra, and calculus (for intermediate courses) is helpful. However, struggling with the math component doesn't mean you can't master microeconomics concepts. A tutor can help you understand the economics first, then show you how the math represents those ideas—why a downward-sloping demand curve makes sense, what a slope actually means in an economic context, or how to interpret a derivative. Breaking the math into digestible pieces alongside economic reasoning makes it much more manageable.

One of the most powerful aspects of personalized microeconomics tutoring is connecting theory to the real world. Instead of working through abstract textbook examples, tutors can discuss how price changes affect your decisions as a consumer, how firms determine pricing strategies, or how government policies influence markets you care about. This approach strengthens your understanding because you're building mental models grounded in observable behavior. It also makes microeconomics feel relevant and interesting rather than theoretical, which improves both motivation and retention.
