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.

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.

Jacob
BA The College of Charleston • Current Grad Student, Accounting The University of Southern California
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.

Esther
Current Undergrad, Politics, Philosophy, and Economics University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

Studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Penn means Esther encounters economic concepts not in isolation but tangled up with the political incentives and philosophical arguments that shape them — why a carbon tax gets framed as market efficiency in one class and as an ethical obligation in another. That interdisciplinary wiring is especially useful for students who need to understand the reasoning behind economic models, not just the graphs themselves. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Carter
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

Carter earned his economics degree at Brown and then taught game theory to advanced middle school students at a Johns Hopkins CTY program in Hong Kong — so he knows how to make concepts like Nash equilibria, marginal analysis, and market structures click for learners at very different levels. He connects economic models to real decisions rather than leaving them as abstract graphs. His approach digs into the intuition behind supply-and-demand shifts, elasticity, and welfare analysis so the math and the logic reinforce each other.

Ethan
BA University of Pennsylvania
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

JF
BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand diagrams are just the entry point — JF digs into the reasoning behind elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium so that students can tackle unfamiliar problems without relying on memorized setups. His dual math and computer science training at Stanford gives him a quantitative edge when explaining concepts like marginal analysis and cost curves.

Dawn
BA Duke University
6+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Dawn digs into the mechanics of market equilibrium, elasticity, monetary policy, and game theory that make economics click at the college level. Her B.S. in Economics with a finance concentration from Duke means she can connect textbook models to how markets actually behave.

Kelly
BA Duke University
7+ Years Tutoring

Elasticity, marginal analysis, market equilibrium, game theory — economics is ultimately about building models and knowing when they break down. Kelly studied Financial Economics at Duke and brings that analytical depth to both micro and macro concepts, unpacking the math behind the intuition so students can tackle problem sets and essays with equal confidence.

Avram
BA Yale University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Ethan
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

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.
