Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
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!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.
I am comfortable tutoring math subjects up to multivariable calculus and differential equations, as well as college physics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find comparative advantage and international trade theory conceptually challenging—it's easy to memorize that countries should specialize, but harder to understand *why* both nations benefit even when one is better at everything. Exchange rate mechanics and currency markets also trip up many students, especially when analyzing how inflation differentials, interest rates, and capital flows interact to move exchange rates. Additionally, students frequently struggle to connect macroeconomic models (like IS-LM curves or Mundell-Fleming frameworks) to real-world policy decisions in open economies, and they underestimate how much quantitative analysis—calculating trade balances, computing purchasing power parity, or working through balance-of-payments accounting—is required to truly master the subject.
Expert tutors ground abstract concepts in current events—for example, explaining how tariff policies affect supply chains by analyzing actual trade disputes, or using recent currency crises to illustrate how fixed exchange rate systems can become unsustainable. Rather than just teaching the Heckscher-Ohlin model in isolation, a tutor might walk through how labor-cost differences between countries shape manufacturing outsourcing decisions, or use commodity price fluctuations to demonstrate how terms of trade affect developing economies. This approach helps students see that Global Economics isn't just theory—it's the framework behind decisions made by multinational corporations, central banks, and governments every day.
Beyond basic algebra, students need comfort with index calculations (like real effective exchange rates), balance-of-payments accounting (ensuring credits and debits balance), and interpreting financial ratios in an international context. Many Global Economics courses require students to calculate present values for cross-border investments, understand elasticity of demand in trade contexts, and work with regression analysis to identify relationships between variables like GDP growth and trade openness. A strong tutor helps students move beyond plugging numbers into formulas—they teach *why* we use PPP adjustments when comparing living standards across countries, or how to interpret a country's current account deficit as a reflection of savings and investment patterns, not just a number on a spreadsheet.
Core frameworks include comparative advantage (understanding opportunity costs across nations), the balance-of-payments identity (current account + capital account + reserves = 0), purchasing power parity and interest rate parity (explaining exchange rate movements), and the Mundell-Fleming model (showing how monetary and fiscal policy work differently in open vs. closed economies). Students also need to grasp market structure concepts as they apply globally—how monopolistic competition explains intra-industry trade, or how factor endowments drive trade patterns. Mastering these frameworks means understanding not just the equations, but the economic logic: *why* does capital flow toward higher returns, and *what* does that mean for exchange rates and trade balances?
Strong Global Economics knowledge is foundational for careers in international finance, trade policy, multinational business, and development economics—fields where understanding exchange rates, capital flows, and comparative advantage directly impacts real decisions. For students targeting MBA programs or CFA certification, mastery of international macroeconomics and trade theory strengthens applications and prepares them for coursework in international corporate finance and global strategy. Tutors help students build the analytical rigor and conceptual depth that employers and graduate programs look for: the ability to analyze a country's economic fundamentals, forecast currency movements, or evaluate how trade policy changes affect a company's supply chain.
AP Macroeconomics covers some international topics (exchange rates, trade, capital flows) but focuses primarily on domestic U.S. policy; Global Economics or International Economics college courses dive much deeper into trade theory, exchange rate regimes, balance-of-payments crises, and how open economies function under different monetary systems. College courses typically require more rigorous mathematical modeling—you might derive the Mundell-Fleming model from first principles rather than just applying it—and expect students to engage with empirical research and policy debates. A tutor can help bridge this gap by introducing students to the more sophisticated frameworks and quantitative demands they'll face, whether they're taking AP Macro and want to go deeper, or preparing for an upper-level college Global Economics course.
Global Economics involves many interconnected systems—exchange rates affect trade, which affects capital flows, which affects interest rates—and students often treat each topic as isolated rather than seeing how they reinforce each other. For example, a student might memorize the PPP formula but not grasp that it's really asking, "If inflation is higher in one country, shouldn't its currency weaken to keep prices comparable?" Similarly, the balance-of-payments identity can feel like an accounting trick rather than a powerful insight: a current account deficit *must* be offset by a capital account surplus because money has to go somewhere. Tutors help by constantly asking "why?"—why would a central bank raise interest rates, and what does that do to capital inflows and exchange rates? This builds intuition so students can apply concepts to novel scenarios rather than just reproducing memorized steps.
Global Economics tutors teach students to build simple models that forecast exchange rates, project balance-of-payments outcomes, or analyze how policy changes ripple through an open economy. This might involve constructing a spreadsheet that applies interest rate parity to predict currency movements, or using historical data to estimate trade elasticities and forecast how a tariff will affect import volumes. Rather than treating models as black boxes, tutors help students understand the assumptions built in, recognize when a model breaks down in real markets, and practice interpreting results critically. These modeling skills are directly applicable to careers in international finance, trade analysis, and multinational corporate planning—employers value candidates who can move beyond theory to actually forecast and stress-test scenarios.
