Jake's marketing degree means he studied the demand side of economics firsthand — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to market signals are concepts he's applied, not just memorized. His strong quantitative background (he tutors AP Statistics and both AP Calculus courses) lets him handle the graphing and algebraic reasoning that economics problems demand when students move past definitions into actual analysis. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Building a SaaS company from the ground up gave John a practical education in supply and demand, pricing strategy, opportunity cost, and market structure that most economics tutors only know from textbooks. He uses those real-world examples to make concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage intuitive, then ties them back to the graphs and equations students need for exams.
Amanda's anthropology and biology training gives her an unusual entry point into economics — she's studied how societies organize resources, make collective decisions, and respond to scarcity long before those ideas get formalized into supply-and-demand curves. That cross-disciplinary perspective is especially useful for students wrestling with topics like development economics or behavioral models, where understanding human decision-making matters as much as the math behind it. Rated 4.9 by her students.
Andrew's dual degree in History and Economics from Northwestern means he studied economic theory alongside the historical events that shaped it — recessions, trade wars, policy shifts — giving him a narrative framework that makes concepts like comparative advantage or monetary policy feel less abstract. His law degree adds another layer: he can explain how regulatory structures and legal incentives actually alter market behavior. Rated 4.9 by his students.
Graphing cost curves or interpreting shifts in supply and demand becomes far less intimidating when someone can explain the math driving the models. Madeleine's applied mathematics background means she can unpack the quantitative side of economics — marginal analysis, optimization, equilibrium calculations — while still connecting those numbers to real-world intuition.
Maurice's statistics and math teaching background gives him a practical handle on the quantitative side of economics — reading supply-and-demand graphs, interpreting elasticity calculations, and working through the kind of data-driven questions that show up in introductory and AP-level courses. His special education training also means he's especially skilled at restructuring explanations on the fly when a concept like comparative advantage or market equilibrium isn't landing the first time around.
Business communications at Barrett Honors College means Gabrielle studies how organizations make decisions under constraints — the same logic that drives economic concepts like scarcity, trade-offs, and cost-benefit analysis. Her calculus background also lets her tackle the quantitative side when courses move into graphing marginal costs or calculating elasticity. Rated 5.0 by her students.
Aaron's pure mathematics training at Rice University means the graphing and algebraic reasoning that trip up many economics students — shifting supply curves, calculating elasticity, optimizing with derivatives in intermediate micro — come naturally to him. His breadth across calculus, AP Chemistry, and comparative government also lets him draw unexpected connections between economic models and the scientific or political contexts that give them meaning. Rated 4.9 by his students.
Civil engineering is fundamentally an exercise in resource allocation — every bridge design and infrastructure project Emeka has worked on involves weighing costs against benefits, optimizing under constraints, and forecasting demand. That real-world decision-making maps directly onto economics concepts like marginal analysis, scarcity, and efficiency, giving him a tangible way to explain ideas that often feel purely theoretical. Rated 5.0 by his students.
Supply and demand curves are straightforward until students have to explain why a price floor creates a surplus or trace the ripple effects of a tariff through multiple markets. Mladen's analytical training in law and psychology gives him a knack for breaking down these cause-and-effect chains so the logic clicks, not just the graphs.
I have an MBA from Rice University and both real-world business experience and teaching experience. Most recently, I taught a first-year college course in Microeconomics for nine years, in addition to other classes in the university's international trade program. My students came from over 30 countries! I've worked in over a dozen countries for the U.S. Department of Commerce, as well as for private firms in building engineering and the energy industry. I enjoy helping students gain competence and master their chosen area of study.
Before tutoring economics, Gordon spent years in biological sciences at Arizona State — which turns out to be surprisingly useful when students need to think about systems, trade-offs, and resource allocation, since ecology and economics share the same underlying logic of scarcity and optimization. His Teach for America experience and work mentoring premed undergraduates means he's taught students at every level how to reason through models rather than just memorize curves and definitions.
I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my degree in Secondary Education with a Social Studies Emphasis and Mathematics Minor. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education through the University of Notre Dame while teaching high school math and social studies. I have experience tutoring the PSAT, ACT, SAT, and various math subjects. I look forward to working with you!
Thirty years of teaching Government and Economics classes — from AP-level policy analysis down to ELL sections where every term needs careful unpacking — means Catherine has explained concepts like fiscal policy, market incentives, and budget trade-offs to virtually every type of learner. Her American Studies background gives her a natural entry point through the economic forces that shaped U.S. history, connecting abstract models to the tariffs, recessions, and policy debates students already recognize. Rated 4.9 by her students.
Kevin's Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major at the University of Pennsylvania means he studies economics not as an isolated discipline but as something deeply entangled with policy decisions and ethical trade-offs. He breaks down concepts like market equilibrium, elasticity, and game theory by connecting them to real political and social questions that make the logic behind the models click.
Studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Penn means Esther encounters economic concepts not in isolation but tangled up with the political incentives and philosophical arguments that shape them — why a carbon tax gets framed as market efficiency in one class and as an ethical obligation in another. That interdisciplinary wiring is especially useful for students who need to understand the reasoning behind economic models, not just the graphs themselves. Rated 5.0 by her students.
Monetary policy, banking systems, and market behavior aren't abstractions to Cole — they were the focus of his cum laude master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches economics by grounding theory in current events, so students see how supply-and-demand diagrams or GDP calculations connect to headlines they've actually read. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
Physics training builds a specific habit that transfers directly to economics: modeling complex systems with graphs, equations, and simplifying assumptions. Avram's three physics degrees mean he's deeply practiced at translating real-world behavior into formal models — exactly the skill students need when working through supply-and-demand curves, elasticity calculations, or equilibrium analysis.
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.
Matt's finance degree means he learned economics not as an isolated academic subject but as the engine behind investment decisions, corporate strategy, and market behavior — so when he teaches concepts like elasticity or market structures, he can show students where the theory actually lands. His SAT score of 1530 also signals the kind of sharp analytical reading that economics coursework demands, especially when students need to interpret dense graphs or parse tricky problem setups.
Joshua earned his bachelor's in Economics and International Studies, which means he learned economic concepts — trade theory, exchange rates, development policy — through the lens of how they actually shape relationships between countries. That global perspective is especially useful for students who need to connect microeconomic and macroeconomic models to the messy reality of international markets and policy decisions.
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.
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.
Studying economics at Penn means Alessia encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy debates in her own coursework every week. That real-time engagement with the material makes her especially effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and IS-LM analysis — she explains them the way she just learned to think about them, not from distant memory.
Shreya's AP Micro and AP Macro teaching experience means she knows exactly where students get tripped up — confusing movement along a curve with a shift, or mixing up fiscal and monetary policy tools. Her molecular biology coursework at Yale loaded her schedule with statistics and quantitative reasoning, so she's comfortable walking through the graphs and mathematical models that make economics click. Rated 5.0 by her students.
