Anyone can learn mathematics, but it is easy for students to get overwhelmed. Far too often, I hear people say "I hate math", convinced that they are bad at it. But what I've often found is that students simply need another way of viewing the problems. Sometimes, the student needs help breaking down...

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Microeconomics is an advanced course typically taken by high school students, but some advanced 6th graders do pursue it with proper preparation. Expect to learn about supply and demand, consumer behavior, production costs, market structures, and factor markets. Success requires strong foundational math skills and the ability to think abstractly about economic concepts. A personalized tutor can help bridge any gaps and ensure your student builds confidence with challenging material.
The main hurdles are understanding abstract economic concepts without real-world context, applying calculus and algebra to economic problems, and distinguishing between similar concepts like price elasticity and income elasticity. Many younger students also struggle with the AP exam's multiple-choice format and the need to explain reasoning in free-response questions. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down complex ideas into digestible pieces and builds problem-solving strategies specific to each student's learning style.
Most students benefit from starting tutoring at least 4-6 months before the May AP exam to allow time for learning core concepts, practicing problems, and taking full-length practice tests. For 6th graders, a longer timeline of 6-9 months is often ideal since they may need extra support with advanced material. The frequency and intensity of sessions depend on your student's current understanding and goals—some students meet weekly, while others benefit from more frequent sessions during peak study periods.
Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who will start by assessing your student's current knowledge of economics concepts, math skills, and test-taking experience. They'll identify specific areas of strength and weakness—whether that's understanding demand curves, calculating elasticity, or managing exam timing. This diagnostic approach helps create a personalized study plan focused on your student's unique needs rather than generic test prep.
Score improvement depends on your student's starting point and commitment level. AP Microeconomics scores range from 1-5, with most students aiming for a 3 or higher to earn college credit. With consistent tutoring and practice, students typically improve by 1-2 score points over a semester. For 6th graders new to advanced economics, the focus is often on building foundational understanding first, then refining test-taking strategies to maximize their score.
Practice tests are essential for AP Microeconomics success—they help students understand the exam format, identify weak topics, and build stamina for the 2-hour 10-minute exam. Most tutors recommend taking 3-4 full-length practice tests starting 8-10 weeks before the exam, then reviewing mistakes in detail. For 6th graders, practice tests also build confidence and reduce test anxiety by making the exam feel familiar rather than intimidating.
New Haven's 60 schools across 10 school districts serve nearly 26,000 students, with a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio that supports advanced learners. While AP Microeconomics is less common at the 6th grade level than in high school, New Haven has strong academic programs that identify and support gifted students. Connecting with an expert tutor who understands both the AP curriculum and how to teach advanced concepts to younger learners can make a significant difference in your student's success.
Look for tutors with a strong background in economics or business, ideally with AP exam experience and a track record of helping students improve their scores. For 6th graders specifically, it's valuable to find someone who can explain complex concepts clearly and adapt to younger learners' needs. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors who have expertise in AP Microeconomics and experience working with advanced students at various levels.
