Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
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.

I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.
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 struggle most with aggregate demand and supply (AD/AS) models, understanding how monetary and fiscal policy interact with the broader economy, and grasping the nuances of inflation versus deflation. Phillips Curve relationships and the distinction between short-run and long-run economic equilibrium also trip up many students. A tutor can break down these abstract concepts with real-world examples—like how Federal Reserve interest rate decisions ripple through employment and inflation—making the connections between theory and practice much clearer.
Graph mastery is essential for AP Macro success, and many students struggle with shifting curves versus moving along curves, especially with AD/AS, money market, and loanable funds diagrams. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: identify what variable changed, determine which curve shifts (if any), and trace through the new equilibrium to predict effects on price level, output, and interest rates. Practice drawing the same graphs repeatedly with different scenarios builds muscle memory, and tutors can provide targeted feedback on common mistakes like incorrect shift directions or misidentified equilibrium points.
Policy analysis requires a step-by-step framework: identify the policy tool (tax changes, spending, open market operations, etc.), predict the immediate effect on money supply or aggregate demand, then trace through to final outcomes on output, employment, and inflation. Many students rush and miss secondary effects or confuse contractionary policy with recession. A tutor can teach you to work through practice Free Response Questions methodically, showing how to earn full credit by explaining each link in the causal chain and using appropriate graphs to support your reasoning.
The multiple-choice section (60 questions, 70 minutes) rewards quick graph recognition and understanding cause-and-effect relationships, while the Free Response section (3 questions, 60 minutes) demands clear written explanations and properly labeled diagrams. Many students excel at identifying correct answers but struggle to articulate their reasoning in writing. A tutor can help you develop efficient note-taking strategies for FRQs, practice explaining your logic concisely, and learn to allocate time wisely—typically 15-20 minutes per FRQ to allow time for drawing and labeling graphs accurately.
AP Macro tests your ability to see how monetary policy affects interest rates, which influences investment and aggregate demand, which shifts the AD/AS model—and tutors excel at helping you map these connections. Many students memorize individual topics in isolation but freeze when asked to explain how a central bank rate hike affects unemployment six months later. A tutor can use concept maps, real historical examples (like the 2008 financial crisis or pandemic stimulus), and cumulative practice problems to show how supply shocks, policy responses, and international trade all interact within one coherent economic system.
The top mistakes include forgetting to label axes and curves on graphs (instant point loss), confusing correlation with causation, providing incomplete explanations of mechanisms, and misidentifying which variables change in equilibrium. Students often draw correct graphs but fail to explicitly state the effect on price level, output, or unemployment—the rubric requires both the graph AND the written explanation. A tutor can have you practice past FRQs with actual AP rubrics, giving you feedback on exactly which points you're earning or missing, and teaching you the precise vocabulary and explanation style that graders reward.
The 70-minute multiple-choice section averages about 70 seconds per question, but many students spend too long on difficult conceptual questions early on and rush through FRQs at the end. A tutor can help you develop a strategy: scan all MC questions first to identify quick wins, flag harder ones to return to, and allocate your FRQ time strategically—spending a minute reading and planning before you draw graphs ensures your diagrams directly answer the question. Timed practice tests under realistic conditions, followed by review of where you lost time, reveal your personal pacing weaknesses and build confidence in your timing decisions.
Score gains depend on your starting point and effort, but students who work with a tutor on systematic concept review, graph mastery, and FRQ practice typically improve 1-2 score points (on the 1-5 scale) over a semester. A student scoring 2-3 who commits to weekly tutoring and consistent practice can realistically reach a 3-4 by exam day; moving from 3 to 5 requires deeper mastery of policy interactions and synthesis across units. The biggest gains come from identifying your specific weak spots—whether it's graph interpretation, policy mechanism reasoning, or time management—and targeting those areas intensively rather than broad review.
