Conor
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am currently a sophomore at Yale University working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. I began tutoring in high school at local elementary schools and continued tutoring into my college career with older students. I am capable of tutoring subjects ranging from Algebra and Calculus to Economics, standardized tests, Statistics, and more. Tutoring is something I enjoy because I love helping students achieve their goals and maximize their potential through practice and hard work. I'm a firm believer that the best way to improve in any area of academics is through practice. Once you become accustomed to the style of question, you will begin to realize why you are making mistakes and how to avoid making them in the future. Outside of tutoring, I am an avid sports fan and video game enthusiast.
Mason
AP Statistics Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Political Science. During this time, I was a tutor for the Departments of Economics and Mathematics, where I gained a passion for seeing the "click" of knowledge, where information becomes made personal. Since graduation, I have have been pursuing my Master of Public Administration at the University of Kansas. My career mission is to work in City Management, applying math, social sciences, communication, and other fields to serve the public in a multidisciplinary manner. I am a firm believer in being a well-around, global citizen, so that entails being moderately versed in many fields of study. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics, Math, and Standardized Testing. I believe that education is the path to an enlightened life, so I look forward to joining you on that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, film/television, stand-up comedy, and playing/watching all sports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Macroeconomics requires students to think abstractly about large-scale economic systems and understand how multiple variables interact—which is fundamentally different from the concrete problem-solving in microeconomics. Common challenges include:
- Grasping how monetary and fiscal policy affect inflation, unemployment, and GDP simultaneously
- Understanding aggregate demand and supply models, which operate on different principles than individual market supply and demand
- Connecting theoretical concepts to real-world economic events and policy decisions
- Mastering the mathematical models and graphical analysis needed to predict economic outcomes
Personalized tutoring helps by allowing a tutor to identify exactly where your conceptual understanding breaks down and rebuild that foundation before moving forward.
AP Macroeconomics introduces core concepts: GDP, inflation, unemployment, money supply, and basic policy tools. The focus is on understanding mechanisms and applying them to scenarios.
College Introductory Macroeconomics expands on these foundations with more rigorous mathematical models, including the IS-LM framework and Phillips curve, plus deeper analysis of long-run economic growth and international economics.
Advanced courses (Intermediate Macro, Monetary Economics) require calculus-based modeling, dynamic analysis, and engagement with current economic debates. A qualified tutor understands these distinctions and can calibrate explanations and problem-solving strategies to your specific course level.
In a classroom, a teacher must move at an average pace for 20-30 students with varying levels of preparation. In personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor works at your exact level and speed, spending time on concepts that trouble you while moving quickly through material you've already mastered.
A tutor can also diagnose whether your struggle is conceptual (not understanding why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward), mathematical (difficulty manipulating equations), or strategic (not knowing how to approach exam questions). This diagnosis leads to targeted improvement rather than generic review.
An effective macroeconomics tutor combines strong subject knowledge with the ability to simplify complex systems. Look for tutors who can:
- Explain the intuition behind models before diving into mathematics—why does the aggregate demand curve slope downward?
- Connect theory to real examples: How did the 2008 financial crisis demonstrate monetary policy limitations? What does recent inflation tell us about Phillips curve stability?
- Guide you through problem-solving rather than just showing you answers, building your ability to tackle unfamiliar questions
- Adapt their explanations based on your learning style—some students think visually through graphs, others prefer verbal explanations or numerical examples
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in economics and proven teaching ability.
With consistent personalized tutoring, students typically see improvement in several areas: stronger conceptual understanding (you can explain mechanisms, not just memorize), better exam performance (through targeted test-taking strategies and practice), and increased confidence in applying macroeconomic thinking to new scenarios.
For AP students, improvement often shows as higher exam scores and stronger performance on free-response questions that require explanation and analysis. For college students, improvements include higher grades on exams and papers, and better grasp of how to use macroeconomic tools to analyze policy questions or current events. The timeline depends on your starting point and course demands, but most students see meaningful gains within 4-6 weeks of regular sessions.
Ideally, you've taken introductory microeconomics or economics, which covers supply and demand, elasticity, and basic market concepts. However, this isn't always required—some students begin macroeconomics without formal econ background, especially in high school AP courses.
More important than prior econ knowledge is comfort with graphs, basic algebra, and reasoning about cause-and-effect relationships. If you struggle with these fundamentals, a tutor can address them alongside macroeconomics content. In the first session, a tutor will assess your baseline and adjust pacing and explanations accordingly.
A tutor's exam preparation strategy typically includes: reviewing high-yield concepts based on your course (the multiplier effect, money supply mechanisms, policy trade-offs), practicing multiple-choice and free-response questions under timed conditions, analyzing where you lose points, and reteaching any concepts that appear in practice exams.
Unlike last-minute cramming, this targeted approach builds genuine understanding so you can answer unfamiliar questions confidently. Tutors often help students recognize common exam patterns—like questions that test whether you understand both the short-run and long-run effects of policy—and develop strategies to tackle them systematically.
