Brian
Certified Economics Tutor
Brian
PhD University of California-Santa Cruz • BA California Institute of Technology
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Milan
Certified Economics Tutor
Milan
BA Stanford University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Alessia
BA University of Pennsylvania
8+ Years Tutoring

Studying economics at Penn means Alessia encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy debates in her own coursework every week. That real-time engagement with the material makes her especially effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and IS-LM analysis — she explains them the way she just learned to think about them, not from distant memory.

Conor
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying economics at Yale means Conor is working through the same problem sets, models, and exam formats that many of his students are currently facing — from micro concepts like elasticity and market structures to macro topics like GDP accounting and monetary policy. That proximity to the material, paired with a 1590 SAT that signals serious quantitative chops, makes him especially sharp at walking through the graphs and algebra that tend to separate students who memorize definitions from those who actually understand how economic models work.

Matt
MS Brown University • BA Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Matt's undergraduate economics degree gives him genuine fluency with the core material — supply and demand mechanics, market structures, opportunity cost — while his theatre and acting training means he knows how to make a dry lecture on GDP or fiscal policy feel like a conversation worth having. A 34 ACT composite speaks to the kind of analytical sharpness that keeps explanations tight and precise, especially when students need to connect graphs to the economic reasoning behind them.

Tameem
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Natalie
BA University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

Natalie's Health Care Management minor at Penn exposed her to microeconomic principles like supply and demand, cost-benefit analysis, and market structures — all through the lens of real industries. She breaks down economic models by connecting them to concrete examples students can actually picture, whether it's pricing decisions or how incentives shape behavior.

Christopher
BA Vanderbilt University
10+ Years Tutoring

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.

Current Undergrad Student, Finance Boston College
9+ Years Tutoring

As a Finance major at Boston College, Andy engages with economic theory daily — from GDP and inflation to trade policy and market structures. He unpacks concepts like supply-and-demand equilibrium and opportunity cost by tying them to real headlines and business decisions, making the logic behind economic models click rather than feel abstract.

Jake
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

That social-science fluency makes her especially sharp on topics like market failures, externalities, and the distributional questions that come up in both micro and macro courses. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Harvard's Public Policy curriculum gave Alyssa a rigorous grounding in micro and macroeconomic theory — supply and demand modeling, market failures, fiscal policy analysis — that she now breaks down for students tackling college-level econ. She connects abstract concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage to real policy debates, making the material click rather than just survive on a formula sheet.
