Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Akron, OH

Peter's journalism degree trained him to research, synthesize, and explain complex systems to a general audience — skills that translate directly to breaking down economic concepts like market structures, trade-offs, and policy impacts into clear, logical narratives. His Master's in Education means he knows how to structure those explanations so they actually land, whether a student is wrestling with supply-and-demand graphs or trying to connect micro principles to bigger macro questions.

Ella is currently pursuing her economics degree, which means supply-and-demand models, optimization problems, and market equilibrium analysis aren't abstract textbook ideas for her — they're this week's problem sets. She's especially sharp at connecting the mathematical side of economics (derivatives, constrained optimization) to the intuition behind what the numbers actually mean.

Double-majoring in economics and political science at Georgetown, Adam is studying how economic theory translates into policy decisions in real time — from debates over trade agreements to the mechanics of fiscal stimulus. His statistics minor adds quantitative muscle when students need to work through data-driven problems like interpreting regression output or calculating multiplier effects. He scored a 35 on the ACT, so the math side of econ comes naturally.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in economics is tracing how a single change ripples through markets, government budgets, and consumer behavior. Lillian's science-heavy pharmacy background means she treats economic models the way she treats chemical equations: systematically, with every variable accounted for.

Hyerin earned her bachelor's degree in economics, so concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage aren't abstract textbook ideas to her — they're the foundation of how she thinks about decision-making. She connects microeconomic models to real-world scenarios and walks through the math behind supply-and-demand shifts so students understand the graphs, not just memorize their shapes.

As an Economics major at Vassar, Henry doesn't just know supply-and-demand curves from a textbook — he's actively working through game theory, market structures, and macroeconomic policy models in his own coursework. That proximity to the material means he remembers exactly where concepts like elasticity or comparative advantage tend to trip students up and can explain them in plain terms.

Supply-and-demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets tricky when students need to connect micro-level decisions to macro-level outcomes like inflation or unemployment. Christopher's finance training at Ohio State gives him a quantitative backbone for explaining concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market equilibrium with real numbers rather than abstract theory. He's especially effective at walking students through graph interpretation and the kind of analytical writing that econ courses increasingly require.

What drew Albert to economics wasn't the graphs or formulas — it was the underlying way of thinking, the logic of incentives, trade-offs, and unintended consequences that shows up everywhere from grocery store pricing to government budgets. As an economics major at Indiana Wesleyan who also studies political science and humanities, he teaches concepts like marginal analysis and market equilibrium by connecting them to the decisions students already make every day. Rated 4.9 by his students.

With an economics degree and a teaching roster that spans micro, macro, and both AP courses, Alexander covers the full introductory sequence — from elasticity and market structures through aggregate demand and fiscal policy. His Mandarin fluency also makes him a strong fit for international economics concepts like exchange rates and trade balances, where he can draw on cross-cultural context that most tutors can't.

Double-majoring in economics and physics at Case Western Reserve means Anish lives in both the theoretical and quantitative sides of the discipline — he's as comfortable with game theory and market models as he is deriving equations in a physics lab. That cross-training is especially useful when economics courses start leaning on calculus-based optimization or statistical reasoning, since he can walk through the math without losing sight of the economic intuition behind it.

I am a rising sophomore at Kenyon College, a small liberal arts school an hour out of Columbus, Ohio, majoring in Philosophy. It is difficult to identify a specialty of mine because I have worked with students from 1st grade through high school on topics ranging from elementary science to trigonometry test prep, but my foremost strength is the three sections of the SAT. I have roughly three years of experience tutoring and last year taught a test prep class. My approach to tutoring is to identify a students strengths and build upon them through frequent quizzes and reflective analysis. Additionally, having just gone through the college admissions process, I am privy to its length and complexity so can lend advice on anything, namely essays. I have plenty of experience writing and have been published in a local newspaper. While I think math is the easiest subject for me to teach, writing and writing skills are my favorite to teach because to see a writers progress is an extraordinary sight and, further, challenge.

I'm a rising sophomore from Yale University. There I am studying to pursue a degree in either economics or computer science, and possibly both. I took the ACT a time or too and know my way around the exam, and I think I have a strong handle on the college admissions process.

An effective educator must be able to recognize each individual student's learning style and to adapt the lesson to accommodate that style. Also, each student has a different rate of learning. Thus, the lessons must be directed not only towards ensuring the student masters the material but also keeps the student engaged in and enthusiatic about the education process. Finally, the effective tutor must remember that the end goal of the learning process is not only to master a defined set of knowledge and skills, but also to learn "how to learn;" in this way the student will be better equipped to thrive in an ever changing environment.

A PhD candidate in economics at Yale with undergraduate degrees in physics and math from the same institution, Anthony brings serious quantitative firepower to the subject — the kind that matters when courses pivot from intuitive ideas about markets into optimization problems, game theory, or econometric proofs. He also teaches AP Micro, AP Macro, and econometrics, so he can connect introductory concepts to the formal models students will encounter as the material deepens. Rated 5.0 by his students.

Majoring in both economics and mathematics at Boston College means Patrick tackles the subject from both sides — the intuitive reasoning behind concepts like elasticity and market failures, and the quantitative models that formalize them. That dual training is especially useful when students hit the parts of economics where graphs and equations start doing the heavy lifting, like consumer and producer surplus calculations or equilibrium analysis.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but the real challenge is applying them — shifting curves correctly, interpreting elasticity, or reasoning through market failures. Benjamin's Economics degree from Notre Dame gave him deep fluency with both micro and macro frameworks, and he teaches students to think through cause-and-effect chains rather than memorize graph shapes.

Studying both engineering and economics at Duke gave Natalie a quantitative lens on economic reasoning — she's comfortable moving between supply-and-demand intuition and the math behind elasticity, optimization, and equilibrium. She digs into the "why" behind each model so students can apply concepts to unfamiliar problems, not just textbook examples.

I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets interesting — and tricky — when students have to apply models to real-world trade policy, market failures, or development questions. Hans earned his economics degree from Northwestern with a concentration in international political economy, so he connects textbook theory to the messy situations those models were built to explain.

Carter earned his economics degree at Brown and then taught game theory to advanced middle school students at a Johns Hopkins CTY program in Hong Kong — so he knows how to make concepts like Nash equilibria, marginal analysis, and market structures click for learners at very different levels. He connects economic models to real decisions rather than leaving them as abstract graphs. His approach digs into the intuition behind supply-and-demand shifts, elasticity, and welfare analysis so the math and the logic reinforce each other.

I am currently working in a Bronx Public School as a teaching apprentice in Algebra. I have four years of experience tutoring one on one with students of all ages.

As a Cornell economics major, Tameem is still immersed in the coursework — working through the same models, problem sets, and exam formats that students are currently facing. That proximity to the material makes him particularly sharp on the foundational concepts that drive intro and high school economics, like how shifts in aggregate demand connect to unemployment and inflation or why price elasticity changes a firm's revenue strategy.

Environmental Science and Public Policy intersects constantly with economics — cost-benefit analysis, externalities, market failures, trade policy. Ethan brings that applied perspective to economics tutoring, connecting abstract models like supply-and-demand curves or GDP accounting to tangible policy questions students can reason through. His strong quantitative background (36 ACT, AP Statistics and Calculus) means the math side of econ never becomes a bottleneck.

Harvard's Public Policy curriculum gave Alyssa a rigorous grounding in micro and macroeconomic theory — supply and demand modeling, market failures, fiscal policy analysis — that she now breaks down for students tackling college-level econ. She connects abstract concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage to real policy debates, making the material click rather than just survive on a formula sheet.

Caltech's economics program is heavily quantitative — Brian's coursework there meant building economic models with real calculus and statistical tools, not just sketching supply-and-demand curves. His computer science double major adds a computational edge that's particularly useful for students tackling game theory, optimization problems, or any econ course where the math suddenly gets serious. His 1580 SAT reflects the kind of analytical precision he brings to breaking down dense material.
