I am a student at Georgetown University majoring International Politics with minors in Economics and Latin American Studies.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Macroeconomics covers six main units: Basic Economic Concepts, Economic Indicators and the Business Cycle, National Income and Price Determination, Financial Sector, Long-Run Consequences of Stabilization Policies, and Open Economy—International Trade and Finance. The exam emphasizes understanding how economies function at the aggregate level, including GDP measurement, inflation, unemployment, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and international economics. Mastering these interconnected topics requires both conceptual understanding and the ability to apply economic models to real-world scenarios.
Students often struggle with understanding aggregate demand and aggregate supply models, the relationship between monetary and fiscal policy, and how different economic policies create trade-offs. Many find it difficult to distinguish between short-run and long-run economic effects, and to interpret economic data like inflation rates and unemployment figures in context. Personalized tutoring can help clarify these interconnected concepts and build confidence in applying economic models to exam questions.
The AP Macroeconomics exam is 2 hours and 10 minutes long, consisting of two sections: a 60-minute multiple-choice section with 60 questions and a 50-minute free-response section with three questions. The multiple-choice section tests breadth of knowledge across all six units, while the free-response questions typically require deeper analysis and application of economic concepts. Success requires both quick recall of definitions and models, plus the ability to construct clear economic explanations under time pressure.
AP scores range from 1 to 5, with a 3 considered passing and qualifying for college credit at most institutions. A score of 4 or 5 demonstrates strong mastery and typically earns credit at selective colleges. The national average is around 2.5, so scoring a 3 or higher puts you ahead of most test-takers. A tutor can help you identify your current knowledge gaps and develop a targeted study plan to reach your goal score.
Most students benefit from starting preparation 3-4 months before the May exam, dedicating 5-8 hours per week to studying. This timeline allows you to work through all six units thoroughly, take multiple practice tests, and identify weak areas for focused review. If you're starting closer to the exam date or struggling with specific concepts, personalized tutoring can accelerate your progress by targeting exactly what you need to improve rather than reviewing material you already understand.
Free-response questions require you to explain economic concepts clearly, draw and label graphs correctly, and show your reasoning—not just provide answers. Practice writing responses within the time limit, use precise economic terminology, and always include relevant graphs (like supply and demand curves or Phillips curves) when appropriate. A tutor can review your practice responses, identify gaps in your explanations, and teach you how to structure answers that earn maximum points from AP graders.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand the AP Macroeconomics curriculum and can adapt their teaching to your learning style. Whether you need help understanding difficult concepts like monetary policy transmission, building graph-drawing skills, or practicing test-taking strategies under time pressure, a tutor provides personalized 1-on-1 instruction focused on your specific goals. With Washington, DC's strong academic environment and many competitive high schools, personalized tutoring can give you the edge needed to earn a 4 or 5.
Your first session is an opportunity for your tutor to assess your current understanding of macroeconomics, learn about your goals (target score, timeline, specific challenges), and develop a personalized study plan. You might review a practice test, discuss which units feel strongest and weakest, or work through a challenging concept together. This foundation helps your tutor tailor future sessions to maximize your preparation and build momentum toward exam day.
