David
Certified Microeconomics Tutor
David
MS University of Notre Dame • BA Franklin College
9+ Years Tutoring

From elasticity calculations to the nuances of monopolistic competition, microeconomics requires students to think graphically and verbally at the same time. David breaks down each market structure by walking through the firm's decision-making process step by step — where marginal cost meets marginal revenue, why profits shrink in the long run, and what happens when assumptions change. His entrepreneurship background means these aren't hypothetical firms to him.

Conor
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Conor digs into the trickier microeconomic territory like elasticity calculations, consumer and producer surplus, and game theory models where students tend to struggle. As an Economics major at Yale, he's actively working through these concepts at an advanced level and can break down how firms make pricing decisions in different market structures.

Adi
BA Rice University
17+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are just the entry point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying them to problems involving market structures, consumer choice, and externalities. Adi's economics training means he can walk through the intuition behind utility maximization or Nash equilibrium without losing students in the math, or without skipping it entirely.

Rahi
Engineer Princeton University
7+ Years Tutoring

Marginal cost curves, consumer surplus, and game theory matrices can feel abstract until someone shows you the math driving each one. Rahi tackles microeconomics by walking through the calculus behind optimization — profit maximization, utility functions, price discrimination — so students can solve problems confidently instead of memorizing graph shapes.

Andy
Current Undergrad Student, Finance Boston College
9+ Years Tutoring

Studying finance at Boston College means Andy works with microeconomic principles daily — how firms price products, why markets allocate resources the way they do, and what happens when they don't. He brings that applied lens to concepts like profit maximization and market structures, grounding abstract graphs in the kind of real business reasoning that makes them click. Rated 5.0 by students.

Darin
PhD Massachusetts Institute of Technology • BA Tufts University
1+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying optimization logic to consumer choice, firm behavior, and market structures. Darin's engineering background means he's comfortable walking through the calculus behind marginal analysis and showing students how each graph tells a precise quantitative story.

Amanda
MS Northwestern University • BA Northwestern University
6+ Years Tutoring

Cognitive science trained Amanda to think about how people make decisions under constraints — which is essentially what microeconomics formalizes with models of consumer choice, firm behavior, and resource allocation. She breaks down the reasoning behind concepts like utility maximization and market equilibria by connecting them to the decision-making frameworks she studied at Northwestern, making the abstract logic behind the graphs feel grounded and intuitive.
