Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Roanoke, VA

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.

Co-authoring a published policy article for US News and World Report required Gary to translate economic data into clear, defensible arguments — exactly the skill economics courses demand. He tackles supply-and-demand analysis, market structures, and cost-benefit reasoning by grounding each concept in the political and policy contexts where these ideas actually get applied.

As an economics major at the University of Virginia, Azam is working through the same curriculum his students are tackling — demand and supply models, market structures, GDP accounting — which means the material is fresh and the common stumbling points are still vivid. He pairs that coursework with real tutoring experience through UVA's Day in the Life program, where he learned to adapt explanations on the fly rather than defaulting to textbook language.

Andrea's literature background might seem like an unlikely fit for economics, but her training in close reading and argument analysis translates directly to parsing the kind of dense, claim-heavy passages that show up in economics textbooks and policy debates. Her ESL teaching experience also means she's practiced at breaking down unfamiliar terminology — a skill that pays off when students hit jargon-heavy topics like elasticity, comparative advantage, or fiscal multipliers for the first time.

Jessica's International Studies degree from the University of Richmond, paired with minors in Economics and Latin American and Iberian Studies, means she learned economic concepts through a global lens — trade relationships, currency dynamics, and how developing economies actually function on the ground. Time working in Spain and Brazil gave her firsthand exposure to the macroeconomic forces that most students only encounter as textbook diagrams.

Hi! I'm Utkarsha, and I genuinely enjoy helping students of all levels and learning styles better know subjects they would like help with. Whether you want to know math, English, Tableau, data science, or economics better, or are prepping for the SAT, I'm here to make it understandable and even enjoyable until you're confident! As a math major & an econ minor with a near-perfect SAT score (Math 800, English 780), I'm excited to share my know-how and deep understanding in these subjects. Throughout my years of experience in tutoring, I've successfully coached over 100 students to improve their math class grades (in all levels from elementary school math to college) and reach near-perfect SAT scores and via my unique personalized guidance on core content and test-taking strategies. That's because my tutoring approach is focused on bridging the gap between where you're at and where you want to reach in terms of what you know. Let's work together to reach (or even exceed) your goals!

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.

Studying biology at Cornell means Drishti constantly encounters economics in disguise — resource allocation in ecosystems, cost-benefit trade-offs in evolutionary strategies, statistical modeling in population dynamics — which gives her an intuitive feel for concepts like scarcity, marginal analysis, and equilibrium. She also tutors AP Micro, AP Macro, and AP Statistics, so she can connect the graphical and quantitative reasoning those courses demand back to core economic thinking. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Studying economics and finance at Wharton means Samica encounters micro and macroeconomic theory daily — supply and demand curves, market structures, GDP modeling — and can translate those concepts into clear, intuitive explanations. She connects abstract ideas like elasticity or comparative advantage to real-world business cases, which makes the material stick far better than rote definition review.

Harvard's Public Policy curriculum gave Alyssa a rigorous grounding in micro and macroeconomic theory — supply and demand modeling, market failures, fiscal policy analysis — that she now breaks down for students tackling college-level econ. She connects abstract concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage to real policy debates, making the material click rather than just survive on a formula sheet.

Public policy analysis at the University of Chicago meant Noel spent his undergraduate years dissecting how economic principles — budget trade-offs, incentive design, cost-benefit frameworks — actually drive government decisions. That training makes him especially sharp on the macro side of economics, where fiscal policy and public spending aren't abstract textbook topics but the real-world problems he studied daily. Rated 4.9 by his 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 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.

As an economics major at Duke, Eric tackles everything from supply-and-demand fundamentals to more advanced topics like game theory, market structures, and macroeconomic policy. He connects abstract models to real-world examples that make concepts like elasticity or comparative advantage intuitive rather than formulaic. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.

Clive is currently studying economics at Brown, where he's immersed in everything from microeconomic theory and market structures to macroeconomic policy and econometric modeling. That active coursework means he knows exactly which concepts — opportunity cost, elasticity, game theory, aggregate demand — tend to trip students up and how current professors frame them.

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.

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.
