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.
Supply and demand curves are straightforward until you layer in elasticity, market failures, and government intervention — then economics gets interesting. Eliza earned her economics degree from Penn and tackles concepts like comparative advantage and marginal analysis by tying them to real-world examples students actually recognize, from streaming service pricing to minimum wage debates.
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.
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.
Mary earned her MBA from Rider University and took business coursework at Bucks County Community College, giving her a grounded understanding of supply-and-demand models, market structures, and cost-benefit analysis. Her quantitative background in chemistry and physics also means she's comfortable with the graphing and algebra that trip up many economics students.
Supply and demand curves are easy enough to draw — the hard part is understanding elasticity, equilibrium shifts, and what happens when you layer in government intervention. Conor's dual background in mathematics and finance from the University of Pittsburgh means he can walk through both the graphical intuition and the underlying algebra that drives economic models.
I'm a graduate of Robert Morris University where I earned my BSBA in Economics and Finance. After graduating from RMU I attended Johns Hopkins University where I earned my MA in Applied Economics. My interests lie in the fields of banking, energy, healthcare, and public policy.
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.
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.
Few economics tutors bring both a policy master's degree and nearly a decade of running their own business to the table. Daniel connects economic theory — from market equilibrium to externalities to trade models — back to decisions he actually made as a small business owner navigating real markets. That combination makes abstract graphs and equations feel like descriptions of things that genuinely happen.
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.
Pursuing a double major in Economics and History & Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh gives Priya an unusual angle on the discipline — she's studying not just how models like supply and demand or comparative advantage work, but how economic thinking itself evolved and why certain frameworks won out over others. That philosophical lens is especially useful for students who need to move past rote graph-shifting and actually understand the logic behind economic reasoning.
Michael lists economics as one of his two favorite subjects to tutor, and his dual background in bioengineering and economics means he naturally thinks about how incentive structures and resource constraints shape decisions — whether in healthcare markets, pharmaceutical pricing, or everyday consumer behavior. His 5.0 rating and a 35 ACT suggest someone who can break down both the graphical intuition of micro and the policy logic of macro with precision.
Earning an economics degree means Shua didn't just memorize supply-and-demand diagrams — he worked through the underlying logic of how markets allocate resources, how firms set prices, and how policy interventions ripple through an economy. His strong quantitative background in statistics and calculus lets him break down the graphing and mathematical reasoning that often trips students up in both micro and macro courses.
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.
Supply and demand curves, elasticity, market structures — Patrick connects these economics concepts back to real business scenarios rather than leaving them as abstract graphs. His accounting and business management training at Pitt means he can explain how microeconomic principles actually show up in a company's financial decisions.
Studying mathematical economics as his major means Andreas doesn't just memorize supply-and-demand diagrams — he works through the calculus and algebra underneath them, from deriving marginal cost curves to solving equilibrium conditions with systems of equations. That quantitative comfort is especially useful for students hitting the point in their econ course where the math starts outpacing the intuition. 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.
Economic concepts like supply and demand or comparative advantage only click when students see them operating in real historical contexts — trade policy debates, industrialization, financial crises. Nathaniel's deep background in history gives him a library of concrete examples that make abstract economic models tangible and easier to apply on exams.
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.
Optimization problems, trade-off curves, and equilibrium analysis are daily tools in engineering — which means Joey approaches economics with the same quantitative instincts he developed earning dual engineering degrees from Glasgow and Penn. He's especially effective at connecting supply-and-demand models to the real-world resource allocation problems students find most compelling.
I am a current undergraduate student at Tufts University pursuing a double major in economics and history, with a minor in physics. My favorite subjects to tutor are history and english because I love to write, so I really enjoy the analytic facets of these classes. I have been an English tutor for four years, a history tutor for one year, and an ACT tutor for nine months. Some of my other experience includes teaching summer classes in South Africa, and volunteering as a caretaker at orphanages in Poland. Outside of tutoring, I row crew in Boston, write poetry, and love walking my two adorable dogs. I am fluent in English, German, French, and I am currently learning Russian. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I look forward to working with you!
Computer science students often have an underappreciated edge in economics — they're already comfortable with logical modeling, variables, and systems thinking. Sarah's CS degree means she naturally approaches topics like microeconomic decision-making and market equilibrium as structured problems with inputs, outputs, and constraints, which can make the subject click for students who think more algorithmically than verbally. Her AP Microeconomics and college economics teaching round out that technical instinct with familiarity in how the material is actually tested.
I'm also a recent graduate of The New School, with a Bachelor of Arts in Literary Studies.
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.
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 highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.
Studying economics and legal studies at Penn means Ethan lives inside the overlap between market forces and the rules that shape them — how antitrust law changes competitive dynamics, or why regulatory frameworks matter as much as supply curves. That legal dimension gives him a useful angle for explaining topics like market failures and government intervention, where the textbook model and the real-world outcome don't always match up. His 35 ACT speaks to the kind of analytical sharpness that translates well into breaking down econ problem sets.
Supply and demand diagrams are just the entry point — JF digs into the reasoning behind elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium so that students can tackle unfamiliar problems without relying on memorized setups. His dual math and computer science training at Stanford gives him a quantitative edge when explaining concepts like marginal analysis and cost curves.
Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Dawn digs into the mechanics of market equilibrium, elasticity, monetary policy, and game theory that make economics click at the college level. Her B.S. in Economics with a finance concentration from Duke means she can connect textbook models to how markets actually behave.
Elasticity, marginal analysis, market equilibrium, game theory — economics is ultimately about building models and knowing when they break down. Kelly studied Financial Economics at Duke and brings that analytical depth to both micro and macro concepts, unpacking the math behind the intuition so students can tackle problem sets and essays with equal confidence.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.
An MBA from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate economics degree mean David has encountered the full spectrum of economic reasoning — from microeconomic models of firm behavior to the macroeconomic policy debates that shape real markets. Running a startup gives him a founder's perspective on how concepts like pricing strategy, marginal cost, and competitive dynamics actually play out when you're the one making the decisions.
