Studying economics at the University of Chicago — where the discipline's most influential modern ideas were developed — means Benjamin is immersed in microeconomic reasoning and market theory at a school that takes the subject unusually seriously. His 35 ACT and strong math background let him move comfortably between the graphical intuition of supply-and-demand analysis and the algebraic problem-solving that trips up students when courses start introducing equations. Rated 4.8 by his students.

Studying sociology at the University of Chicago means Zo is constantly analyzing how institutions, incentives, and inequality shape human behavior — which is essentially what economics does through a quantitative lens. That social-science fluency makes her especially sharp on topics like market failures, externalities, and the distributional questions that come up in both micro and macro courses. Rated 5.0 by her students.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Jack earned his economics degree at Northwestern, where he studied everything from game theory to monetary policy in both micro and macro contexts. He connects abstract models — supply and demand curves, GDP calculations, elasticity — to real-world scenarios that make the reasoning behind each graph intuitive rather than mechanical.

Felix is pursuing economics or applied mathematics at the University of Chicago, one of the discipline's most rigorous programs. He breaks down concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage by connecting the graphs to real decision-making — so the math and the intuition develop together. His 5.0 client rating speaks to how clearly he communicates material that often feels abstract.

An avid reader of The Economist, Mark brings real-world context to concepts like supply and demand elasticity, trade policy, and market equilibrium — connecting textbook models to headlines students have actually seen. His quantitative background in bioengineering means he's equally comfortable walking through the math behind economic models as he is explaining the intuition.

Medical school trains you to think in systems — how one variable cascades through an entire organism — and that same logic maps surprisingly well onto macroeconomic concepts like how a change in interest rates ripples through employment, investment, and inflation. Grant's biochemistry and pre-med background means he's comfortable with the quantitative side of economics, especially when courses introduce graphing and basic calculus to model market behavior.

Cynthia earned her economics degree alongside an MBA, then put both to work teaching at a proprietary college where her students were working adults who had zero patience for theory that didn't connect to their actual lives. That experience sharpened her ability to take something like elasticity or fiscal multipliers and ground it in decisions people already make — pricing a product, choosing whether to expand, reading a Fed announcement. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Supply and demand curves are just functions; elasticity is a derivative; consumer optimization is constrained maximization. Irene's PhD in mathematics means she can walk students through the quantitative backbone of economics — from marginal analysis to equilibrium models — with a clarity that makes the math feel intuitive rather than intimidating.

I am a 2009 graduate of the University of Chicago in Statistics and Political Science. I have been a tutor for test prep (including ACT, SAT, LSAT and AP testing), academic and creative writing, and general academic assistance for three years.

A University of Chicago economics graduate, Marvin was trained in one of the most rigorous econ programs in the country — a place where supply-and-demand intuition gets stress-tested with real data and formal models. He tackles everything from consumer choice theory to market failures by connecting the math to the underlying logic of how people and firms actually make decisions.

Studying business administration at Loyola means Jacob lives inside economic concepts daily — supply and demand, opportunity cost, market equilibrium. He unpacks both micro and macro principles by tying them to real decisions companies and consumers actually face, which makes abstract graphs and formulas click faster. Students walk away understanding the reasoning behind the models, not just how to label the curves.
