Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Sharon

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically find the foreign exchange and international trade unit most difficult, along with understanding the relationship between money supply, inflation, and interest rates. The Phillips Curve, aggregate demand and supply models, and the nuances of fiscal versus monetary policy also trip up many students because they require connecting multiple economic concepts simultaneously. A tutor can break down these interconnected topics into digestible pieces and use real-world examples—like how Fed rate changes affect currency values—to make abstract relationships concrete.

FRQs require you to draw graphs (like AD/AS or money markets), identify shifts, and explain causal relationships—skills that benefit greatly from guided practice and feedback. A tutor can teach you the specific format the College Board expects, help you practice drawing accurate supply and demand curves under timed conditions, and show you how to earn all points by explaining mechanisms, not just stating conclusions. Working through released FRQs together allows you to see exactly where you lose points and build confidence in your graphing and explanation skills.

Graphs in AP Macro—like the money market, loanable funds, AD/AS, and Phillips Curve—aren't just visual aids; they're the language the exam uses to test understanding. Many students can memorize that "lower interest rates increase investment," but struggle to show this shift correctly on a graph or explain why it happens. A tutor can teach you the underlying logic of each graph, practice drawing them until they're automatic, and help you avoid common mistakes like confusing movement along a curve with shifts of the curve itself.

These policies often blur together for students because they both aim to influence the economy, but through very different mechanisms. A tutor can help you create a clear mental framework: fiscal policy uses government spending and taxes (controlled by Congress), while monetary policy uses interest rates and money supply (controlled by the Federal Reserve). By working through scenarios—like how each policy responds to a recession—you'll internalize when to use which model and understand why the same economic problem might require different policy solutions.

The exam has 60 multiple-choice questions (70 minutes) and 3 FRQs (60 minutes), so pacing is critical. Most students benefit from spending about 1 minute per multiple-choice question, which leaves time to review, and allocating roughly 18-20 minutes per FRQ to read, plan, draw graphs, and write explanations. A tutor can help you practice full-length exams under timed conditions, identify which question types slow you down, and develop strategies—like sketching graphs lightly first before finalizing them—that keep you moving without sacrificing accuracy.

Taking practice tests and reviewing your results with a tutor is the fastest way to pinpoint gaps. A tutor can analyze which units (monetary policy, international trade, growth models) or question types (graph interpretation vs. calculation) consistently trip you up, then target those areas with focused practice. They can also help you distinguish between careless mistakes and conceptual misunderstandings—a crucial difference that determines whether you need more practice or a deeper reteaching of the concept.

While AP Macro isn't heavily calculation-focused like Microeconomics, you'll need to compute inflation rates, unemployment rates, GDP growth, and multiplier effects—mostly straightforward formulas rather than complex math. If calculations aren't your strength, a tutor can walk you through each formula, explain what it measures, and give you practice problems so you can work quickly and confidently on exam day. Understanding the economics behind the numbers (why we calculate GDP a certain way) also helps you catch errors and remember formulas under pressure.

Score improvement depends on where you're starting and how much you engage with tutoring, but students typically see meaningful gains—often 2-4 points on the 5-point scale—within 8-12 weeks of consistent work. If you're scoring 2s and 3s, tutoring can help you reach 4s by filling conceptual gaps and sharpening exam technique. If you're already at 4s aiming for a 5, tutoring focuses on precision in FRQ responses and mastering the trickiest multiple-choice questions that test deeper understanding.
