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

I have worked in the financial field, both at a management consulting firm and a fortune 500 company. My hobbies include playing and coaching soccer. Hobbies: reading, writing, art, books, music
MaryAnn
Calculus Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a published author who has enjoyed “coaching” our daughter, as she navigated through high school, college and graduate school. I mentor college juniors who are seeking careers in financial services, and I serve as a peer resource to professionals who are transitioning from private industry to the nonprofit sector. Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, books, music, art, travel

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Most computational economics courses require proficiency in languages like Python, R, or MATLAB for modeling economic systems, running simulations, and analyzing large datasets. If you're struggling with the programming fundamentals—like loops, functions, and data structures—a tutor can help you bridge the gap between coding syntax and the economic applications you're using it for. Many students find that understanding the economic logic first, then learning how to implement it programmatically, makes the technical aspects click much faster.
Building computational models requires translating economic theory into code while managing assumptions, parameters, and validation—which is where many students get stuck. A tutor experienced in computational economics can help you design models that accurately represent real-world scenarios (like market equilibrium, agent-based models, or optimization problems), debug code when results don't match theory, and interpret outputs critically. They can also guide you through sensitivity analysis and help you understand when a model is working correctly versus when it's producing misleading results.
Computational economics relies heavily on linear algebra (matrices and vectors for large-scale systems), calculus (optimization and equilibrium analysis), probability and statistics (for simulations and econometric analysis), and numerical methods (approximation techniques for solving complex equations). If any of these foundations are weak, it becomes nearly impossible to understand why your code produces certain results or how to troubleshoot model failures. A tutor can help you strengthen these mathematical underpinnings while showing you exactly how they apply to economic problems you're actually working on.
Running a simulation successfully isn't the same as producing valid economic insights—many students generate results without understanding whether they make theoretical sense or reflect real-world behavior. A tutor can help you develop a critical framework for interpreting outputs: Does the model behave as economic theory predicts? Are the parameter values realistic? Do edge cases break the model in expected or unexpected ways? This skill—connecting computational results back to economic logic—separates students who can code from those who can actually do computational economics.
Optimization problems in computational economics—whether maximizing utility, minimizing costs, or finding market equilibrium—require understanding both the economic setup and the computational method (gradient descent, linear programming, dynamic programming, etc.). Students often struggle because they focus only on the algorithm without deeply understanding the economic constraints and objective function, or vice versa. A tutor can help you map economic problems into mathematical formulations, select appropriate optimization techniques, and interpret why certain solutions emerge from your computations.
Moving from theoretical models to empirical analysis requires skills in data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and econometric estimation—and knowing which computational tools are appropriate for each step. Many students can build a model in isolation but struggle when they need to calibrate it with actual data, run regressions, or test hypotheses computationally. A tutor can guide you through the workflow: accessing datasets, handling missing or messy data, estimating parameters from real-world information, and validating your model's predictions against observed outcomes.
Debugging in computational economics means identifying whether errors are in your code, your mathematical formulation, or your economic assumptions—and these require different fixes. A model might run without errors but produce economically nonsensical results (like negative prices or infinite demand), which means the bug is in your logic, not your syntax. A tutor experienced in computational economics can help you systematically isolate problems: Does the issue stem from incorrect parameter values? A flawed algorithm? Misaligned economic theory? This diagnostic skill is crucial for independent problem-solving.
Computational economics skills are directly applicable to quantitative finance, policy analysis, market research, and data science roles—employers specifically value your ability to model complex systems and extract insights from code and data. Mastering this subject demonstrates you can bridge economic theory and technical implementation, which is rare and highly marketable. A tutor can help you not just pass your course, but build a portfolio of models and projects that showcase your computational economics expertise to future employers or graduate programs.
