AP Micro demands fluency with graphs — supply and demand shifts, cost curves, market structure diagrams — not just memorizing them but interpreting what happens when variables change. Sarina unpacks each model step by step, connecting abstract concepts like marginal cost and deadweight loss to real-world scenarios that make the logic click on exam day.

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

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Microeconomics focuses on individual economic decision-making and includes six major units: basic economic concepts, supply and demand, production choices and behavior, factor markets, market imperfections and government intervention, and international economics. The exam tests your understanding of how consumers and firms make choices, how markets function, and how government policies affect economic outcomes. A strong foundation in these topics, combined with practice applying economic principles to real-world scenarios, is essential for success on test day.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students who work consistently with personalized instruction typically see meaningful gains—often 1-3 points on the AP scale (which ranges from 1-5). The key is identifying your specific weak areas early, whether that's graph interpretation, supply-and-demand analysis, or applying economic concepts to unfamiliar situations. Focused practice on these areas, combined with strategic test-taking approaches, tends to yield the strongest results.
Many students struggle with interpreting and drawing supply-and-demand graphs accurately, understanding the relationship between marginal and average concepts, and applying economic theory to complex, multi-step problems. Another frequent challenge is managing test pacing—the exam requires quick analysis of 60 multiple-choice questions and careful reasoning through free-response questions in just 2 hours 10 minutes. Tutors can help you build graph fluency, strengthen conceptual understanding, and develop efficient problem-solving strategies that work within the time constraints.
Your first session typically focuses on assessing where you stand—a tutor will review your current understanding of foundational concepts, identify specific topics that need work, and discuss your AP exam timeline and goals. This diagnostic approach helps create a personalized study plan tailored to your needs, whether you're starting early in the school year or preparing for the May exam. You'll leave with clarity on what to focus on and a concrete roadmap for improvement.
Practice tests are critical—they help you get comfortable with the exam format, identify which topics consistently trip you up, and build stamina for the 2-hour 10-minute test. Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions reveals pacing issues and question types that need extra attention. A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results strategically, pinpointing whether mistakes stem from conceptual gaps, careless errors, or time management, then focus your studying accordingly.
Graph interpretation is fundamental to AP Microeconomics—roughly half the exam involves supply-and-demand diagrams, cost curves, or other economic models. The key is practicing consistently with different graph scenarios: shifts versus movements along curves, interpreting elasticity visually, and understanding how graphs connect to real economic outcomes. Personalized instruction helps you build this fluency through targeted practice, immediate feedback on your work, and clear explanations of why certain shifts occur and what they mean economically.
Starting tutoring in the fall or early winter gives you the most time to build a strong foundation and work through challenging topics without rushing. If you're already into spring, tutoring can still be very effective—a tutor can help you prioritize high-yield topics, focus on weak areas, and maximize your study time before the May exam. Even a few months of focused, personalized instruction can lead to meaningful score improvements when you're strategic about what you study.
