Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Tucson, AZ

I have an MBA from Rice University and both real-world business experience and teaching experience. Most recently, I taught a first-year college course in Microeconomics for nine years, in addition to other classes in the university's international trade program. My students came from over 30 countries! I've worked in over a dozen countries for the U.S. Department of Commerce, as well as for private firms in building engineering and the energy industry. I enjoy helping students gain competence and master their chosen area of study.

Jake's marketing degree means he studied the demand side of economics firsthand — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to market signals are concepts he's applied, not just memorized. His strong quantitative background (he tutors AP Statistics and both AP Calculus courses) lets him handle the graphing and algebraic reasoning that economics problems demand when students move past definitions into actual analysis. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Building a SaaS company from the ground up gave John a practical education in supply and demand, pricing strategy, opportunity cost, and market structure that most economics tutors only know from textbooks. He uses those real-world examples to make concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage intuitive, then ties them back to the graphs and equations students need for exams.

Amanda's anthropology and biology training gives her an unusual entry point into economics — she's studied how societies organize resources, make collective decisions, and respond to scarcity long before those ideas get formalized into supply-and-demand curves. That cross-disciplinary perspective is especially useful for students wrestling with topics like development economics or behavioral models, where understanding human decision-making matters as much as the math behind it. Rated 4.9 by her students.

Andrew's dual degree in History and Economics from Northwestern means he studied economic theory alongside the historical events that shaped it — recessions, trade wars, policy shifts — giving him a narrative framework that makes concepts like comparative advantage or monetary policy feel less abstract. His law degree adds another layer: he can explain how regulatory structures and legal incentives actually alter market behavior. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Graphing cost curves or interpreting shifts in supply and demand becomes far less intimidating when someone can explain the math driving the models. Madeleine's applied mathematics background means she can unpack the quantitative side of economics — marginal analysis, optimization, equilibrium calculations — while still connecting those numbers to real-world intuition.

Maurice's statistics and math teaching background gives him a practical handle on the quantitative side of economics — reading supply-and-demand graphs, interpreting elasticity calculations, and working through the kind of data-driven questions that show up in introductory and AP-level courses. His special education training also means he's especially skilled at restructuring explanations on the fly when a concept like comparative advantage or market equilibrium isn't landing the first time around.

Business communications at Barrett Honors College means Gabrielle studies how organizations make decisions under constraints — the same logic that drives economic concepts like scarcity, trade-offs, and cost-benefit analysis. Her calculus background also lets her tackle the quantitative side when courses move into graphing marginal costs or calculating elasticity. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Aaron's pure mathematics training at Rice University means the graphing and algebraic reasoning that trip up many economics students — shifting supply curves, calculating elasticity, optimizing with derivatives in intermediate micro — come naturally to him. His breadth across calculus, AP Chemistry, and comparative government also lets him draw unexpected connections between economic models and the scientific or political contexts that give them meaning. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Civil engineering is fundamentally an exercise in resource allocation — every bridge design and infrastructure project Emeka has worked on involves weighing costs against benefits, optimizing under constraints, and forecasting demand. That real-world decision-making maps directly onto economics concepts like marginal analysis, scarcity, and efficiency, giving him a tangible way to explain ideas that often feel purely theoretical. Rated 5.0 by his students.

Supply and demand curves are straightforward until students have to explain why a price floor creates a surplus or trace the ripple effects of a tariff through multiple markets. Mladen's analytical training in law and psychology gives him a knack for breaking down these cause-and-effect chains so the logic clicks, not just the graphs.

Before tutoring economics, Gordon spent years in biological sciences at Arizona State — which turns out to be surprisingly useful when students need to think about systems, trade-offs, and resource allocation, since ecology and economics share the same underlying logic of scarcity and optimization. His Teach for America experience and work mentoring premed undergraduates means he's taught students at every level how to reason through models rather than just memorize curves and definitions.

I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my degree in Secondary Education with a Social Studies Emphasis and Mathematics Minor. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education through the University of Notre Dame while teaching high school math and social studies. I have experience tutoring the PSAT, ACT, SAT, and various math subjects. I look forward to working with you!

Thirty years of teaching Government and Economics classes — from AP-level policy analysis down to ELL sections where every term needs careful unpacking — means Catherine has explained concepts like fiscal policy, market incentives, and budget trade-offs to virtually every type of learner. Her American Studies background gives her a natural entry point through the economic forces that shaped U.S. history, connecting abstract models to the tariffs, recessions, and policy debates students already recognize. Rated 4.9 by her students.

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.

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.

Shreya's AP Micro and AP Macro teaching experience means she knows exactly where students get tripped up — confusing movement along a curve with a shift, or mixing up fiscal and monetary policy tools. Her molecular biology coursework at Yale loaded her schedule with statistics and quantitative reasoning, so she's comfortable walking through the graphs and mathematical models that make economics click. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Caltech's economics program is heavily quantitative — Brian's coursework there meant building economic models with real calculus and statistical tools, not just sketching supply-and-demand curves. His computer science double major adds a computational edge that's particularly useful for students tackling game theory, optimization problems, or any econ course where the math suddenly gets serious. His 1580 SAT reflects the kind of analytical precision he brings to breaking down dense material.

With an economics degree and a 5.0 client rating, Ryan brings both academic grounding and clear communication to topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of supply-and-demand shifts. He also teaches finance and accounting, which means he can show students how microeconomic reasoning actually translates into business decisions — making abstract models feel like practical tools rather than exam fodder.

Studying economics at Yale means Conor is working through the same problem sets, models, and exam formats that many of his students are currently facing — from micro concepts like elasticity and market structures to macro topics like GDP accounting and monetary policy. That proximity to the material, paired with a 1590 SAT that signals serious quantitative chops, makes him especially sharp at walking through the graphs and algebra that tend to separate students who memorize definitions from those who actually understand how economic models work.

Studying both History and Economics at Harvard, Finley tackles economics the way it actually works — as a discipline shaped by real-world policy decisions and historical context. He breaks down concepts like supply-and-demand elasticity, market structures, and game theory by grounding them in concrete examples rather than abstract graphs alone. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying economics at Penn while simultaneously completing a music degree meant Katherine had to internalize models quickly — there wasn't time to passively reread chapters on elasticity or game theory when rehearsals and problem sets competed for the same hours. That efficiency now shows up in her tutoring, where she zeroes in on the specific graph, equation, or intuition a student is missing and builds understanding from there. Her 1550 SAT speaks to the analytical sharpness she brings to quantitative econ topics.

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.

Rithi's quantitative backbone — a neuroscience degree, a master's in biotechnology, and deep coursework in statistics and calculus — means she can tackle the math-heavy side of economics that often catches students off guard, like working through elasticity calculations, interpreting cost curves, or setting up optimization problems. Her 4.9 rating speaks to an ability to make that quantitative reasoning feel approachable even for students who came in expecting a purely conceptual course.

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.

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.
