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

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

Students often find comparative advantage and the Heckscher-Ohlin model conceptually challenging because they require thinking about opportunity costs across countries rather than just within one economy. Exchange rate determination and purchasing power parity also trip up many students—understanding why exchange rates fluctuate and how inflation differentials affect currency values requires integrating multiple economic concepts simultaneously. Additionally, balance of payments accounting confuses students because the double-entry bookkeeping system feels abstract until they see real-world examples like current account deficits and capital flows.

A tutor can move you beyond memorizing tariff definitions by working through actual case studies—like how steel tariffs affect downstream manufacturing costs or how agricultural subsidies distort global markets. They'll help you analyze the deadweight loss from trade restrictions using supply-and-demand diagrams and connect abstract welfare analysis to concrete outcomes: which groups benefit (domestic producers) and which lose (consumers, export-dependent industries). This approach transforms trade policy from a list of terms into a framework for evaluating real policy decisions.

You'll need comfort with index numbers (like real effective exchange rates), calculating percentage changes in exchange rates and price levels, and interpreting correlation between variables like interest rate differentials and currency movements. Many courses require basic regression analysis to understand relationships between economic variables, and you should be able to work with balance of payments data and calculate current/capital account balances. A tutor can help you move from plugging numbers into formulas to understanding what those calculations reveal about international economic relationships.

A tutor can help you apply concepts like comparative advantage to actual trade flows, use interest rate parity to understand why companies hedge currency exposure, or analyze how tariffs and quotas affect supply chain decisions for multinational firms. For example, understanding foreign direct investment theory helps explain why tech companies establish R&D centers in specific countries, while knowledge of exchange rate regimes clarifies why some emerging markets experience currency crises. This bridge between theory and application is especially valuable if you're preparing for finance roles, MBA programs, or careers in international business.

You need to deeply understand comparative advantage (not just absolute advantage), the mechanics of balance of payments accounting, purchasing power parity and interest rate parity relationships, and how exchange rate regimes affect monetary policy effectiveness. Additionally, mastering the Mundell-Fleming model—which shows how fiscal and monetary policy work differently under fixed versus floating exchange rates—is crucial for understanding policy constraints in open economies. A tutor can help you move from memorizing these frameworks to using them as analytical tools to predict outcomes when economic conditions change.

A tutor experienced in international economics can guide you through building models that project currency movements based on interest rate differentials, construct scenario analyses for how tariff changes affect company profitability, or create forecasts incorporating inflation and exchange rate expectations. These practical modeling skills complement theoretical understanding and are directly applicable to roles in international finance, corporate treasury, or investment analysis. Working through real data and building spreadsheet models transforms abstract concepts like purchasing power parity from theory into tools you can actually use.

AP Macroeconomics includes international economics content (comparative advantage, exchange rates, balance of payments) as roughly 10-15% of the exam, while college-level international economics courses dive much deeper into trade theory, capital flows, and policy analysis. College courses often require more rigorous mathematical modeling and expect you to evaluate competing theories about exchange rate determination or the effectiveness of trade policy. A tutor can help you master the fundamentals needed for AP success while also preparing you for more advanced college coursework or finance certifications like the CFA, which heavily emphasizes international capital markets and currency analysis.

Strong international economics knowledge is essential for careers in international banking, foreign exchange trading, investment analysis, and multinational corporate finance—employers specifically seek candidates who understand exchange rate mechanics, balance of payments dynamics, and how global economic conditions affect markets. If you're pursuing a CFA charter or MBA, international economics provides the foundation for understanding global capital markets, currency risk management, and cross-border investment decisions. A tutor can help you develop both the theoretical understanding and practical analytical skills that make you competitive for these roles.
