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.

Three economics degrees deep, Simon lives in supply-and-demand curves, GDP models, and game theory the way most people live in their native language. He unpacks concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market equilibrium by tying them to real headlines — tariff debates, Federal Reserve decisions, housing markets — so the math and the intuition reinforce each other.

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.

Studying economics at Penn means Jennifer encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy frameworks on a daily basis — not as abstract concepts but as tools she actively uses. She unpacks ideas like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium by tying them to real-world examples that make the logic intuitive. Students preparing for AP Econ or introductory college courses get someone who genuinely lives the material.

Patrick earned his degree in economics and approaches the subject by grounding abstract models — supply and demand curves, GDP accounting, market equilibrium — in real-world scenarios that make the logic click. Whether a student is wrestling with elasticity calculations or trying to interpret a Phillips Curve, he connects the math to the intuition behind it.

Supply and demand diagrams are straightforward until you have to apply them — price ceilings, tax incidence, market failures. Patrick approaches economics by making sure students can reason through new scenarios on their own, not just reproduce graphs they've already seen in lecture.

An economics degree from Penn means SriSaiSuhita has worked through everything from basic supply-and-demand models to econometrics and game theory. She breaks down abstract concepts like elasticity or market equilibrium using real-world examples — pricing strategies, labor markets, policy trade-offs — that make the logic intuitive rather than formulaic.

Studying the biological basis of behavior alongside a math major means Jonathan spends his coursework at the intersection of human decision-making and quantitative reasoning — exactly where economics lives. That combination clicks especially well for topics like game theory and behavioral economics, where understanding why people make irrational choices matters as much as modeling the rational ones.

Four years of GED tutoring and classroom teaching in Philadelphia's public schools gave Walter a clear read on where students get stuck with economic reasoning — especially the leap from everyday intuition about prices and wages to the formal logic of supply-and-demand models and fiscal policy. His education and history degrees from Temple mean he naturally anchors concepts like trade-offs, scarcity, and government intervention in the historical contexts that make them easier to retain. Rated 4.8 by his students.

An energy and sustainability minor means Michael lives at the intersection of economics and engineering — analyzing externalities, market failures, and cost-benefit tradeoffs in real energy markets. He unpacks concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and equilibrium pricing using concrete examples that make the underlying logic intuitive.

Supply-and-demand curves are just the starting point — economics gets interesting when students can apply models like comparative advantage, elasticity, or game theory to real markets. Lachlan is studying finance and entrepreneurship at Wharton, so he connects textbook theory to actual business decisions and policy debates students read about in the news.

Alex's math degree gives him a natural advantage when economics courses pivot from intuitive concepts into the graphs and equations that actually drive the analysis — demand curves, elasticity calculations, and the algebra behind equilibrium models. He also teaches both micro and macroeconomics alongside statistics, so he can connect the quantitative backbone of econ to the broader ideas about markets and policy that students need to retain.

I'm also a recent graduate of The New School, with a Bachelor of Arts in Literary Studies.
