Lainie
ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +20 Subjects
I'm a junior at MIT studying Biological Engineering. I've been tutoring for six years in multiple subjects, most extensively in math but also in reading comprehension, chemistry, and biology. In high school, I qualified for the AIME and MIT's Math Prize for Girls and won the award for achievement in mathematics in my high school class of 400. These achievements make me uniquely qualified to teach both competition and academic mathematics at most levels. In fact, I have experience successfully tutoring a wide age range of students, from age 4 to 17.At this point in my life, I like to use teaching and mentoring to make a difference in my community. I am currently president of MIT SHINE for Girls, a math and dance outreach program at MIT that invites middle school girls from under-served school districts to campus once a week to dance and learn math. I really enjoy forming a mentor-mentee relationship with a student and building their confidence, showing them that they can achieve more than they ever believed. For that reason, tutoring has been both my job and my hobby for the last six years. I look forward to getting to know new students and working with them collaboratively towards their goals.

As I am a certified Life and Transitional Coach that has experience in working in group home settings, court facilitated settings, schools, and private home based.

Arnav
College Political Science Tutor • +13 Subjects
Hello! My name is Arnav Bajaj and it is my great pleasure to have the opportunity to help you learn and achieve academic success. I recently graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from Carleton College and am very passionate about helping people unlock their potential and achieve their dreams - one of my most rewarding experiences has been my work as an ESL instructor, successfully training multiple classes of students to speak english from scratch in the matter of a few months. Over my years in the formal education system, I have faced and successfully tackled many academic challenges including standardized testing (I achieved perfect or near perfect results on most of the tests I took despite starting with fairly average results on first attempt), developing good study skills, and much more. As a result of my own journey, I know for a fact how much more we are all capable of gaining and doing if we take the time to properly strategize our learning and cultivate confidence in our abilities. I look forward eagerly to helping you do the same and making a tangible difference in both your academic results and your personal learning experience!

Frequently Asked Questions
Institutional Economics focuses on how social structures, rules, and organizations shape economic behavior—rather than assuming rational actors in perfect markets. This approach examines institutions like property rights, contracts, and regulations, and their real-world impact on markets and human behavior. Students often find this perspective refreshing because it connects economic theory to actual business practices, policy decisions, and historical context. A tutor experienced in Institutional Economics can help you bridge theory and application, making abstract concepts like transaction costs and organizational hierarchies concrete and relevant to case studies you'll encounter.
Students typically struggle most with transaction cost analysis, understanding the coase theorem and its limitations, and connecting institutional frameworks to microeconomic outcomes. Many also find it difficult to apply concepts like path dependency and institutional lock-in to real-world scenarios without guidance. Personalized tutoring helps because a tutor can identify whether you're struggling with the conceptual foundation or the application, then adapt explanations and examples to your learning style. Working through problem sets and case studies one-on-one accelerates mastery of these nuanced topics.
In a classroom, instructors must move at one pace for 30+ students, which often leaves gaps in understanding complex institutional concepts. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can slow down on areas where you're struggling—like explaining why certain institutions emerge or why they persist—and accelerate through concepts you've already grasped. Tutors can also tailor examples to industries or organizations you're interested in, making the material more engaging and memorable. This targeted approach typically leads to deeper comprehension and better performance on essays and exams that require you to analyze institutions critically.
An excellent Institutional Economics tutor should have strong knowledge of foundational economists like Veblen, Commons, and North, and be able to explain how their ideas connect to modern institutional theory. They should also be skilled at breaking down abstract concepts into concrete examples and be comfortable discussing real companies, industries, and policy debates. Look for someone who can help you develop critical thinking skills—institutional economics rewards deep analysis rather than memorization. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in economic theory and the ability to make institutional frameworks accessible to students at various levels.
Success in Institutional Economics comes from mastering core concepts and developing the ability to apply them to unfamiliar situations. Start by strengthening your understanding of foundational ideas like property rights, transaction costs, and organizational behavior. Then practice analyzing case studies and historical examples—this is what most exams and papers test. A tutor can help you identify gaps in your conceptual understanding, show you how to structure institutional analysis essays, and provide feedback on your arguments before you submit them. Regular tutoring sessions combined with active practice typically result in measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks.
Institutional Economics is usually an upper-level elective rather than a prerequisite, but having a solid foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics helps significantly. If you're taking Institutional Economics, you likely already understand supply and demand, market structures, and basic game theory. However, Institutional Economics offers a different lens for understanding markets and organizations—one that complements traditional approaches. If you're struggling with how institutions fit into your broader economics coursework, a tutor can help you see the connections and show how institutional thinking enriches your analysis of other economic topics.
With consistent personalized tutoring, you should expect clearer understanding of how institutions emerge and persist, stronger ability to analyze institutional frameworks in case studies, and improved essay and exam performance. Many students see grade improvements of one letter grade or more within a few weeks of regular sessions. Beyond grades, you'll develop critical thinking skills that transfer to other coursework and help you see how economics applies to real organizational and policy decisions. The timeline depends on where you're starting and how frequently you work with a tutor, but most students notice meaningful progress within 3-4 weeks of regular instruction.
