Having studied both economics and math at Penn, Pryce brings the dual fluency that managerial economics demands — he can work through the calculus behind profit maximization and then explain why a firm would actually choose that pricing strategy. His econometrics training means he's equally comfortable with the quantitative modeling side, whether it's estimating demand functions or running cost-benefit scenarios. Rated 5.0 by students.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management with Economic Honors from Purdue University. I attended Purdue under a full academic scholarship. After graduation I attended the University of Chicago where I first earned a Master of Arts in Economics and then proceeded to achieve the level of All-but-Dissertation PhD at the University of Chicago in Economics. Since then, I have held key leadership positions with emphasis in strategic planning, finance, operations, and sales in a wide range of companies, from a Fortune 100 to an entrepreneurial high technology start up. Throughout my career I have found the time to function as an adjunct faculty member in economics for Saint Louis University, Maryville University, Webster University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Elmhurst College, I love making economics understandable and applicable to the world we live in. Nothing makes me happier than to have a learner respond "now I get it!"
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'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 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 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'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 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 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 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.

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.
