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.

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.
As an economics major at Yale, Max doesn't just recite supply-and-demand curves — he digs into the intuition behind models like IS-LM, Nash equilibria, and consumer optimization so students understand the reasoning driving each result. That depth makes problem sets and exams far more manageable. Rated 5.0 by students.
Supply-and-demand graphs are just the starting point. Patrick digs into the reasoning behind shifts — why a price ceiling creates a shortage, how elasticity determines tax incidence, what happens to GDP when monetary policy tightens — connecting each model to real-world business decisions. His MBA training keeps the discussion grounded in how these concepts play out in actual markets.
I am a Duke University graduate in Economics and Computer Science. I am currently pursuing an MBA degree at the Yale School of Management. I have worked in the financial field, both at a management consulting firm and a fortune 500 company. My hobbies include playing and coaching soccer.
I am a freshman at Yale University. I am majoring in computer science, and my other interests include economics and history. I have experience tutoring in an Algebra 1 classroom. I edited essays and tutored students in general subject in my high school's Literacy Resource Center. I also have privately tutored calculus. In college, I am a teaching assistant for a program that teaches middle and high school girls to code.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Economics requires understanding both theoretical concepts and real-world applications—from supply and demand curves to macroeconomic policy—which can be challenging to grasp in a traditional classroom setting. With New Haven's average student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify whether a student struggles with foundational skills like graphing and data interpretation, or more complex topics like elasticity and market structures. Many students benefit from having concepts explained in different ways until they truly click, which is difficult in a group classroom environment.
Students often struggle with interpreting and creating economic graphs, understanding the relationship between abstract concepts and real-world scenarios, and mastering quantitative problem-solving. Many also find it difficult to distinguish between microeconomics and macroeconomics concepts, or to apply economic principles to unfamiliar situations on tests. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific gaps by breaking down complex ideas, providing targeted practice with problem types, and connecting theory to examples that resonate with each student.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who understand Connecticut's educational standards and the specific economics courses taught across New Haven's 10 school districts—whether that's high school AP Economics, introductory economics, or college-level coursework. Tutors work directly with each student to review their textbooks, assignments, and exams, ensuring instruction matches their school's pacing and expectations. This alignment means students can immediately apply what they learn in tutoring sessions to their classroom work and assessments.
During the first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of economics—whether you're just starting out or preparing for AP exams—and identify specific areas where you need support. They'll ask about your course goals, review recent assignments or test results, and discuss which topics feel most confusing. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized learning plan focused on your biggest challenges, whether that's mastering supply-and-demand graphs, understanding inflation and unemployment, or tackling complex problem sets.
Many students notice improved understanding of specific concepts within 2-3 tutoring sessions, especially when working on targeted skills like graph interpretation or problem-solving strategies. Measurable improvements in test scores or assignment grades often appear within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, depending on the student's starting point and how frequently they meet with their tutor. The key is regular practice between sessions—tutors provide homework and problem sets that reinforce what you've learned.
In a classroom of 12+ students, teachers must move at an average pace, which means some students fall behind on foundational concepts while others get bored waiting for classmates to catch up. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring adapts in real-time to your learning speed and style—a tutor can spend extra time on elasticity if that's your sticking point, skip ahead if you've already mastered a concept, or explain supply and demand using examples from your life instead of generic textbook scenarios. This customization leads to deeper understanding and stronger performance on assessments.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, who understand the exam format, question types, and content heavily tested on the AP exam. Tutors can help you master both the conceptual material and the quantitative skills the exam requires—like calculating elasticity, interpreting graphs, and explaining policy trade-offs. Whether you're starting prep months in advance or cramming in the final weeks, a tutor can focus on your weakest areas to maximize your score.
