Dalila
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
8+ Years Tutoring

Supply-and-demand curves are intuitive until externalities, elasticity, and market failures enter the picture. Dalila's quantitative background as a math major means she can walk through the graphical and algebraic reasoning behind economic models — not just label the axes, but explain why the curves shift and what the equilibrium actually means.

I am a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential.

James
BA SUNY University at Albany • Current Grad, Physical Therapy Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of SUNY University at Albany. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Japanese with a minor in History in 2010. Since then (and even before as a sub) I have predominantly been teaching in the New York City public education system. I had worked as a substitute teaching assistant since 2008, moving between dozens of NYC public schools before finally settling in late 2011 at M.S. 216 George J. Ryan--an incredibly diverse middle school in Queens. During my tenure in the school system I have spent time teaching students from Pre-K to 12th grade, from all cultural background and socioeconomic statuses. Regardless of whom I have taught, I have always enjoyed it, partly because I often learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Regardless of the subject, I love teaching, and I find it to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful activities, which cliched as it may sound, really can make a difference in people's lives. Besides teaching, I am also keenly interested in the human body, specifically biomechanics, kinesiology, and rehabilitation through movement. I am currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis, which I should finish in 2018.

Ankit
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.

Frequently Asked Questions

Economics requires students to think abstractly about systems, incentives, and trade-offs—concepts that don't always feel intuitive at first. Many students struggle with graphing supply and demand curves, understanding opportunity cost, or applying economic principles to real-world scenarios. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down these complex ideas into digestible pieces, allowing tutors to identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuild from there.

In a classroom with a 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers must pace lessons for the average student, which means some concepts get rushed while others need more time. Personalized tutoring adapts to your learning speed and style—a tutor can spend extra time on elasticity if that's your sticking point, or accelerate through topics you grasp quickly. This targeted approach typically leads to faster conceptual mastery and better retention of material.

Your first session is about assessment and connection. A tutor will review your current coursework, discuss specific challenges you're facing (whether it's understanding GDP calculations, analyzing market structures, or preparing for the AP Exam), and learn your learning preferences. From there, they'll create a personalized plan that targets your goals, whether that's improving your grade, building confidence, or mastering advanced concepts.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand the Economics standards taught across Sarasota schools and can align instruction with your specific course—whether it's high school Economics, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, or college-level courses. Tutors are familiar with common textbooks, exam formats, and learning objectives, so they can reinforce what you're learning in class while filling knowledge gaps.

Many students see noticeable improvement within 3-4 sessions, particularly in understanding specific concepts or improving problem-solving accuracy. Larger gains—like raising your grade from a B to an A, or boosting your AP Exam score—typically take 8-12 weeks of consistent tutoring, depending on where you're starting and your goals. The key is identifying weak spots early and building a strong foundation before moving to more complex material.

Absolutely. Graphs are central to Economics—from supply and demand to production possibilities frontiers to Phillips curves—and many students find them intimidating. Tutors can break down how to read, interpret, and draw these graphs, and more importantly, explain the economic logic behind them. With practice and personalized feedback, you'll move from struggling to sketch a graph to confidently analyzing complex economic scenarios.

Yes. Tutors work with students preparing for both AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics exams. They can help you master free-response question strategies, practice multiple-choice sections under timed conditions, review high-yield concepts, and build test-taking confidence. Many students benefit from starting exam prep 8-12 weeks before the test date to allow time for thorough review and practice.
