Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Bakersfield, CA

Caltech's economics program is heavily quantitative — Brian's coursework there meant building economic models with real calculus and statistical tools, not just sketching supply-and-demand curves. His computer science double major adds a computational edge that's particularly useful for students tackling game theory, optimization problems, or any econ course where the math suddenly gets serious. His 1580 SAT reflects the kind of analytical precision he brings to breaking down dense material.

Supply and demand curves are deceptively simple until students have to apply them to price ceilings, tax incidence, or market failures. Milan approaches economics the way he approaches code: by tracing the logic step by step and identifying exactly where an argument breaks down or a graph shifts.

Jacob's accounting coursework at both the undergraduate and graduate level means he doesn't just understand supply-and-demand diagrams — he can connect microeconomic theory to actual financial statements and business decisions. He digs into concepts like elasticity, market structures, and GDP accounting with the quantitative rigor that makes economics click.

I'm an affable chemistry-loving person whose joy come from delivering knowledge :D

Shreya's AP Micro and AP Macro teaching experience means she knows exactly where students get tripped up — confusing movement along a curve with a shift, or mixing up fiscal and monetary policy tools. Her molecular biology coursework at Yale loaded her schedule with statistics and quantitative reasoning, so she's comfortable walking through the graphs and mathematical models that make economics click. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Physics training builds a specific habit that transfers directly to economics: modeling complex systems with graphs, equations, and simplifying assumptions. Avram's three physics degrees mean he's deeply practiced at translating real-world behavior into formal models — exactly the skill students need when working through supply-and-demand curves, elasticity calculations, or equilibrium analysis.

Studying economics at Penn means Jennifer encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy frameworks on a daily basis — not as abstract concepts but as tools she actively uses. She unpacks ideas like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium by tying them to real-world examples that make the logic intuitive. Students preparing for AP Econ or introductory college courses get someone who genuinely lives the material.

Environmental Science and Public Policy intersects constantly with economics — cost-benefit analysis, externalities, market failures, trade policy. Ethan brings that applied perspective to economics tutoring, connecting abstract models like supply-and-demand curves or GDP accounting to tangible policy questions students can reason through. His strong quantitative background (36 ACT, AP Statistics and Calculus) means the math side of econ never becomes a bottleneck.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

An MBA from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate economics degree mean David has encountered the full spectrum of economic reasoning — from microeconomic models of firm behavior to the macroeconomic policy debates that shape real markets. Running a startup gives him a founder's perspective on how concepts like pricing strategy, marginal cost, and competitive dynamics actually play out when you're the one making the decisions.

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

Supply and demand curves are straightforward until you layer in elasticity, market failures, and government intervention — then economics gets interesting. Eliza earned her economics degree from Penn and tackles concepts like comparative advantage and marginal analysis by tying them to real-world examples students actually recognize, from streaming service pricing to minimum wage debates.

As an economics major at Northwestern, Sarah digs into the same core principles — scarcity, opportunity cost, market equilibrium, elasticity — that introductory students encounter for the first time. She translates abstract models into concrete examples, making supply-and-demand curves and production possibilities frontiers feel intuitive rather than mechanical.

Studying both History and Economics at Harvard, Finley tackles economics the way it actually works — as a discipline shaped by real-world policy decisions and historical context. He breaks down concepts like supply-and-demand elasticity, market structures, and game theory by grounding them in concrete examples rather than abstract graphs alone. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying economics and legal studies at Penn means Ethan lives inside the overlap between market forces and the rules that shape them — how antitrust law changes competitive dynamics, or why regulatory frameworks matter as much as supply curves. That legal dimension gives him a useful angle for explaining topics like market failures and government intervention, where the textbook model and the real-world outcome don't always match up. His 35 ACT speaks to the kind of analytical sharpness that translates well into breaking down econ problem sets.

Monetary policy, banking systems, and market behavior aren't abstractions to Cole — they were the focus of his cum laude master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches economics by grounding theory in current events, so students see how supply-and-demand diagrams or GDP calculations connect to headlines they've actually read. Rated 5.0 by students.
