Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Long Beach, 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

Jake's marketing degree means he studied the demand side of economics firsthand — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to market signals are concepts he's applied, not just memorized. His strong quantitative background (he tutors AP Statistics and both AP Calculus courses) lets him handle the graphing and algebraic reasoning that economics problems demand when students move past definitions into actual analysis. Rated 4.9 by his students.

As a Cornell economics major, Tameem is still immersed in the coursework — working through the same models, problem sets, and exam formats that students are currently facing. That proximity to the material makes him particularly sharp on the foundational concepts that drive intro and high school economics, like how shifts in aggregate demand connect to unemployment and inflation or why price elasticity changes a firm's revenue strategy.

I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!

Three engineering degrees — including one in applied mathematics — mean Rahi is fluent in the quantitative side of economics that often catches students off guard: optimization problems, marginal analysis, and the calculus lurking behind supply and demand curves. He also tutors macroeconomics and accounting, so he can connect microeconomic theory to the bigger fiscal picture and the financial statements where these forces show up in practice.

With an economics degree and a 5.0 client rating, Ryan brings both academic grounding and clear communication to topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of supply-and-demand shifts. He also teaches finance and accounting, which means he can show students how microeconomic reasoning actually translates into business decisions — making abstract models feel like practical tools rather than exam fodder.

Studying economics at the University of Chicago — where the discipline's most influential modern ideas were developed — means Benjamin is immersed in microeconomic reasoning and market theory at a school that takes the subject unusually seriously. His 35 ACT and strong math background let him move comfortably between the graphical intuition of supply-and-demand analysis and the algebraic problem-solving that trips up students when courses start introducing equations. Rated 4.8 by his students.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but the real challenge is applying them — shifting curves correctly, interpreting elasticity, or reasoning through market failures. Benjamin's Economics degree from Notre Dame gave him deep fluency with both micro and macro frameworks, and he teaches students to think through cause-and-effect chains rather than memorize graph shapes.

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.

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.

Studying finance at UGA means Vignesh works with economic concepts as living inputs — interest rates, market structures, consumer behavior — not just textbook diagrams, since his coursework requires applying micro and macro reasoning to actual corporate and investment decisions. He also teaches AP Micro and AP Macro, so he knows exactly where introductory students get tripped up on topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of fiscal versus monetary policy. Rated 5.0 by his students.

As an economics major at Duke, Eric tackles everything from supply-and-demand fundamentals to more advanced topics like game theory, market structures, and macroeconomic policy. He connects abstract models to real-world examples that make concepts like elasticity or comparative advantage intuitive rather than formulaic. Rated 5.0 by students.

Clive is currently studying economics at Brown, where he's immersed in everything from microeconomic theory and market structures to macroeconomic policy and econometric modeling. That active coursework means he knows exactly which concepts — opportunity cost, elasticity, game theory, aggregate demand — tend to trip students up and how current professors frame them.
