Tyler
College English Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wright State University. I received my Bachelor of Integrated Language Arts and my Master of Education. Throughout much of my program, I have had many opportunities to tutor students from a variety of different backgrounds. The vast bulk of my experience tutoring has been with middle and high school students in "at-risk" school districts and students who speak English as a second language in Dayton, Ohio. Ever since my days in the public school system, English class was the one place where I felt free to be myself and fully embrace what I was being taught. My wonderful instructors showed me that writing especially was a gateway to self-expression, and whenever I tutor students for writing, I try to teach the subject with all the opportunities in the world for the student to write about themselves and give them a platform to express what really matters to them. It's that chance to inject themselves into their studies that allows a student to form deeper connections with the subject. In my spare time, I'm an avid reader, a long-time player of table-top Role Playing Games, and a bicyclist.
Jerome
ACT Math Tutor • +34 Subjects
I have loved math all my life and I took lots of it in school as I obtained my BS in Electrical Engineering Technology. I even attended math contests. Now I have the opportunity to help others with their math. I have been tutoring for more than nine years and I really enjoy it. I work with students in middle school, high school and college level math. My daytime job, for six plus years, was tutoring college students in math and electronics. I don't just give out the answers but I help the student with the methods to find the answers. I can help with algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, AP calculus, math I, II and III. I am also very good with computers and Microsoft Excel.
Tom
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I received my Bachelors Degree in 2012 from Thomas Aquinas College, double majoring in philosophy and theology, with a minor in math. I then went on to receive my Master's of Science in Business Analysis in 2013 from Catholic University of America. Since graduation, I have worked for environmental non-profits, helping plant trees across the world, and for consulting firms, helping to mitigate risk in user processes and IT risk analysis. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, my personal favorites are history, literature, algebra, and philosophy.My approach is focused on two things: perspective and passion. I genuinely believe that learning is one of the greatest gifts society can give us today, and one of the best things we can pursue for ourselves. All knowledge is connected, and rather than approaching a subject as simply that subject by itself, everything we learn opens new doors for our minds, and into subjects we sometimes never knew about or never believed to be as intertwined. For example: is it simply coincidence that the studies of astronomy and philosophy tend to happen at the same time for early cultures? Or that early arithmetical and geometrical proofs were found to exist in natural formations? I find that once connections and insights like the previous occur with the learner, passion begins to grow, and education no longer becomes a requirement, but a self-employed pursuit.In my spare time, I love expanding my knowledge of different artists in many different genres, always looking for my new favorite. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, recreational reading, playing board games and video games, and watching NFL games with my dad.

I am currently finishing my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Southern California and will continue onto medical school in the fall of 2015 at USC. I have also completed a portion of my studies at the University of Oxford in the UK. I have been tutoring for the last five years and specialize in a variety of subjects at the middle school, high school, and college level - from Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics to Psychology, English, and French. I enjoy helping students develop their study habits, time management skills, reading, writing, and critical thinking abilities at many levels. I truly believe that all students have the potential to excel academically, and it's my pleasure to help them discover the key to unlocking their success. My tutoring style varies depending on the subject and student, but my core philosophy is that tutoring has the greatest long-term effect when students develop a passion for learning and acquire the critical thinking abilities and study habits to last throughout a lifetime. In addition to academia, I spend time teaching health workshops in under-served areas of Los Angeles. I also enjoy running, yoga, and spending time outdoors.

Welcome! I look forward to improving your skills. I am a Elementary Education/Special Education Teacher with experience from K-12. I have used all kinds of tools to improve reading skills, phonics to sound out words that re unknown, reading comprehension to be able to answer questions about what they read such as details or drawing conclusions, writing and basic math. My students enjoy the instruction because of the success that they are able to achieve. I keep in close communication with parents so that can see what their child is achieving and allow me to address any of their concerns. Students work with me and also have independent practice opportunities. When the student succeeds, I feel so proud.

Frequently Asked Questions
Applied economics requires students to bridge theory and real-world application, which many find challenging. Common difficulties include understanding how economic principles impact business decisions, analyzing data sets and interpreting economic indicators, and applying mathematical models to complex scenarios. Students often struggle with the quantitative aspects—regression analysis, econometrics, and statistical interpretation—especially if their math foundation is shaky. Additionally, keeping up with current economic events and connecting them to course concepts requires active engagement beyond textbook learning.
In a classroom, applied economics instruction often moves at a set pace that doesn't accommodate individual learning gaps. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can identify whether a student's struggle stems from weak foundational concepts, unfamiliar statistical methods, or difficulty translating theory to practical problems—then target instruction accordingly. Tutors can spend as much time as needed on challenging topics like elasticity or cost-benefit analysis, use real examples relevant to the student's interests, and adjust teaching methods to match how the student learns best. This personalized approach typically leads to faster progress and stronger conceptual understanding.
Success in applied economics depends on solid algebra and basic statistics skills. Students need to be comfortable with graphing functions, solving equations, and interpreting slopes and intercepts—concepts that appear constantly in supply-demand analysis and economic modeling. Familiarity with data interpretation, including calculating averages and percentages, is also essential. Many applied economics courses assume students have completed at least Algebra II and preferably an introductory statistics course. If a student has gaps in these areas, working with a tutor on prerequisite skills before diving deep into applied concepts can make a significant difference in overall success.
An effective applied economics tutor combines strong subject expertise with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. They should understand microeconomic and macroeconomic principles deeply, be comfortable with quantitative methods and data analysis, and—importantly—know how to connect abstract theory to real-world business and policy examples. Great tutors ask probing questions to identify conceptual misunderstandings rather than just walking through problems, help students build intuition about why economic models work the way they do, and can adapt explanations for different learning styles. They stay current with economic news and trends, making instruction relevant and engaging.
With focused personalized instruction, students typically see improvements across multiple areas. You can expect stronger conceptual understanding of how economic principles apply in business and policy contexts, improved ability to analyze economic data and interpret statistical results, greater confidence tackling quantitative problem sets, and better performance on exams and coursework. Many students also develop the critical thinking skills to evaluate economic arguments and current events analytically. The timeline for improvement varies—some students see grade improvements within weeks if working on specific problem areas, while others building foundational skills may need several months of consistent work to see significant results.
Applied economics is typically offered at the intermediate level, following introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics courses. It focuses on real-world applications of economic theory rather than purely theoretical concepts, making it popular in business schools and economics programs. The course often covers topics like consumer behavior, firm production decisions, market structures, and how economic policies affect outcomes. Applied economics can serve as a bridge between foundational economics courses and advanced electives like econometrics, industrial organization, or environmental economics. Understanding where the course fits helps students see how it connects to other business subjects like accounting, finance, and strategic management.
Absolutely. Many students find the quantitative side of applied economics—working with graphs, equations, elasticity calculations, and regression models—to be the most challenging part. Tutors can break down complex mathematical concepts into manageable pieces, explain the intuition behind formulas so you understand not just how to use them but why they work, and provide plenty of practice problems with detailed feedback. If your math foundation needs reinforcement, a tutor can address that too, ensuring you're comfortable with the algebra and statistics underlying economic models. This targeted quantitative support is one of the biggest benefits of personalized instruction in a subject like applied economics.
