Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

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

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!
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

Hobbies: photography, travel, reading, music, writing, running, art, books, traveling

Frequently Asked Questions
Managerial Economics combines economic theory with business decision-making, which often trips up students who excel in pure economics but struggle with real-world application. The main challenges include: mastering quantitative techniques like regression analysis and cost-benefit analysis, bridging the gap between microeconomic concepts and strategic business decisions, and understanding how to use marginal analysis and game theory to solve actual management problems.
Personalized instruction helps address these gaps by focusing on the specific areas where you're struggling—whether that's the math, the conceptual framework, or the application piece—rather than moving through material at a standardized pace.
While traditional Economics focuses on how markets work and aggregate economic behavior, Managerial Economics applies economic principles to help individual firms and managers make better decisions. You'll study demand estimation, pricing strategies, capital budgeting, and organizational structure—all through the lens of maximizing firm value and competitive advantage.
This requires not just understanding economic theory, but also learning when and how to apply it to real business scenarios. A tutor can help you make these connections explicit and practice translating concepts into actionable strategies.
You'll need a solid foundation in microeconomics (supply and demand, elasticity, perfect competition) and comfort with algebra and basic calculus. Many Managerial Economics courses also assume you understand financial statements, accounting basics, and probability/statistics, since you'll use these tools to analyze business decisions.
If you're weak in any of these prerequisites, connecting with a tutor early can help you fill gaps quickly rather than falling behind once the course begins. Tutors can also help you refresh these foundational skills in the context of managerial problems, making the review more relevant and engaging.
The best tutors combine strong economics knowledge with real business experience or insight. They should be able to explain why a firm would use regression analysis to estimate demand, connect game theory to actual competitive strategies, and walk you through case studies or examples that illustrate how theory drives business decisions.
They also need to be comfortable with the quantitative side—helping you set up and solve optimization problems, work through financial analysis, and interpret results in a business context. Look for tutors who ask diagnostic questions early to understand your specific gaps and can tailor their teaching to your learning style and goals.
Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows that personalized learning accelerates progress because a tutor can immediately identify where your understanding breaks down and address it, rather than letting misconceptions pile up. In Managerial Economics, this means focusing intensively on the topics that confuse you—whether it's elasticity calculations, game theory applications, or translating a business problem into an economic model.
You'll also get targeted practice on problem types that appear on exams, feedback on your reasoning, and strategies for connecting concepts. Students typically see measurable improvements in test scores, assignment grades, and confidence in class participation within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring.
The most common trouble spots are demand estimation and forecasting (especially using regression and elasticity), pricing strategy and optimization (maximizing profit given constraints), and game theory applications (understanding competitive dynamics and strategic moves). Students also struggle with capital budgeting decisions, where they need to combine time-value-of-money concepts with risk analysis.
Additionally, translating word problems or real business scenarios into mathematical models trips up many students—they understand the economics conceptually but can't set up the problem correctly. A tutor can give you targeted practice in these areas and teach you frameworks for approaching unfamiliar problem types.
Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week, each lasting 60-90 minutes, depending on where they're starting and how much of the course material they've already covered. If you're struggling early in the course, starting with two sessions per week helps you catch up and build momentum. Once you're on track, many students drop to one session per week for ongoing support and exam prep.
The key is consistency—regular tutoring allows you to apply what you learn in tutoring sessions to your homework and classwork, creating a reinforcement loop. Varsity Tutors can help you determine the right schedule based on your goals and current performance.
