An MBA in Finance and Management gives Hari the kind of fluency with economic reasoning that comes from applying it — building financial models, analyzing market conditions, weighing strategic trade-offs in real business contexts. He teaches micro and macro concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market structures by connecting them to the finance and accounting decisions where those ideas actually matter. Rated 5.0 by his students.

I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!
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.
As an adjunct professor at Fordham, Stephen teaches economics at the university level every day — supply and demand models, market equilibrium, game theory, trade policy, and everything in between. His PhD from Rice and BA from Yale, both in economics, mean he can unpack the subject at any level from introductory to advanced. Thirty-plus years of applied market research also let him ground abstract theory in how real economies behave.
Pursuing an economics degree at Dartmouth means Raphael is actively immersed in micro and macro theory, econometrics, and policy analysis — not recalling material from years ago. He unpacks concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage using real-world examples that make abstract models feel intuitive.
As a Certified Financial Planner who holds Series 7, 66, and 24 licenses, Victoria doesn't just teach supply-and-demand curves — she's lived the market dynamics behind them. She unpacks micro and macro concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market structures using real financial scenarios that make abstract models feel immediately relevant.
Studying business economics at the University of Miami meant Noah spent his coursework inside the overlap between economic theory and actual firm-level decision-making — pricing strategies, cost structures, how managers respond to market signals. That business-side fluency is especially useful for students who need microeconomic concepts like elasticity or profit maximization to feel less abstract and more like tools people actually use.
I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Pure and Applied Mathematics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy and Physics. I have enjoyed studying math and science since I was in elementary school. I would always help my friends out by answering their questions about the material. For about the last five years, I have had my own tutoring business where I have tutored a wide variety of math courses from elementary school math to pre-calculus and calculus. I like to make sure my students have a complete understanding of the core concepts before going into practice questions. I have also had experience helping my peers with physics and computer science courses.
Twenty years at PwC — including seven as a partner — meant Stephen lived economics daily, from analyzing market structures and pricing strategies to advising clients through macroeconomic shifts. He teaches concepts like supply and demand elasticity, monetary policy, and market equilibrium by grounding them in real business decisions he's actually made. Rated 5.0 by students.
Caroline's comparative literature degree might seem like an unusual path into economics, but the core skill is the same — reading dense, argument-driven texts and pulling out the logic underneath. She applies that analytical instinct to breaking down concepts like elasticity, market failures, and microeconomic trade-offs, making the reasoning behind models accessible rather than formulaic.
Quantitative reasoning sits at the heart of economics, and Michelle's math and statistics background means she can unpack supply-demand models, elasticity calculations, and cost-benefit analyses with genuine numerical fluency. She approaches economics as applied problem-solving, linking graphical interpretations to the algebra behind them.
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. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.
Biology might seem unrelated to economics, but Liraz's science training at Vanderbilt sharpened exactly the kind of systems thinking that makes concepts like supply-demand equilibrium and feedback loops in monetary policy click — understanding how changing one variable ripples through an entire system. She also brings quantitative comfort from her STEM coursework, which pays off when economics problems shift from intuition to graphs and equations.
Marketing coursework gave Peyton a front-row seat to economic thinking in action — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to competitive pressure are all microeconomic concepts dressed in business clothing. That crossover lets her teach ideas like elasticity, market structures, and incentive design by connecting them to the real branding and advertising decisions students encounter every day.
Law school sharpens a very specific economic skill: reading a set of facts, identifying the incentives at play, and predicting how rational actors will respond. Matthew brings that legal reasoning to economics topics like market regulation, game theory, and the logic behind antitrust or trade policy. His 4.8 rating suggests the approach clicks, especially for students who think better through arguments than through graphs.
I am a senior at Rollins College and have my IB diploma from high school. I did TOK, HLs: Psych, Econ, language and literature, and SLs: Spanish, biology, and mathematical studies. I prefer psych, econ, business, and anything English or literature related. I can do paper revisions, essay help, reading comprehension, elementary/middle/high school math. I would prefer more basic math and science, can help with reading and writing in Spanish, and am up for anything.
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.
Pursuing a PhD in Economics at UNC Chapel Hill while holding a BA in both mathematics and economics from Vanderbilt means Olivia is actively immersed in the discipline at a research level — she can unpack microeconomic models like consumer and producer theory with the mathematical rigor her quantitative background demands. Her four years teaching high school math also gave her a sharp sense for when students are losing the thread between an economic intuition and the graph or equation that formalizes it.
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.
Pursuing a Business Technology and Finance degree at the University of Miami means Julian is actively working through the economic reasoning that underpins business strategy — how firms respond to price signals, why markets allocate resources the way they do, and what happens when incentive structures shift. That finance coursework keeps him close to the quantitative side of economics, so he's comfortable walking through supply-and-demand graphs and cost curves without losing sight of the bigger picture they represent.
I'm a current student at the University of Central Florida and I love to tutor passionate students in a variety of subjects. I've taken and passed 15 AP exams in high school, and I've taken several courses at UCF that I could tutor as well.
I'm from Las Vegas, NV. I am currently a junior at the University of Miami majoring in Industrial Engineering with a double minor in Mathematics and Economics. My hobbies include laying by the pool and listening to new music.
I am an undergraduate student studying both legal studies and accounting at the University of Central Florida. Prior to college I was in the IB (International Baccalaureate) Program at my high school and was named a National Merit Commended Scholar. I've spent a number of years teaching and tutoring, despite my young age, in a variety of subjects ranging from music to different levels of math. I am most passionate about tutoring math related subjects as I see how many students struggle to connect certain concepts with others. I also love to tutor business related fields such as economics as I am an accounting major and it is what I study. I am a strong proponent of the idea that no matter how long it takes, every student is capable of being successful in a subject if they put in the work, with the proper guidance. In my spare time, I really love being a referee and participating in taekwondo tournaments as well as practicing the piano.
Three master's degrees across multiple disciplines give Dariel an unusual ability to show how economics connects to everything else — how a concept like elasticity behaves differently when you're talking about healthcare markets versus tech startups, or why the same GDP model tells different stories depending on the industry context. His university teaching experience across dozens of subjects means he's practiced at pulling economic reasoning out of the abstract and anchoring it in whatever field a student already cares about.
I am actively seeking to pursue my own dreams and now look to help those who strive to do the same.
I'm passionate about helping students build confidence, improve their scores, and make challenging material feel manageable. I specialize in SAT preparation and AP subjects, tailoring each session to the student's individual strengths and goals. Whether we're mastering difficult concepts, improving test-taking strategies, or working on timing, my goal is to make learning clear, engaging, and results-focused.
Studying both engineering and economics at Duke gave Natalie a quantitative lens on economic reasoning — she's comfortable moving between supply-and-demand intuition and the math behind elasticity, optimization, and equilibrium. She digs into the "why" behind each model so students can apply concepts to unfamiliar problems, not just textbook examples.
Studying economics and finance at Wharton means Samica encounters micro and macroeconomic theory daily — supply and demand curves, market structures, GDP modeling — and can translate those concepts into clear, intuitive explanations. She connects abstract ideas like elasticity or comparative advantage to real-world business cases, which makes the material stick far better than rote definition review.
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.
With an economics degree and a 5.0 client rating, Ryan brings both academic grounding and clear communication to topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of supply-and-demand shifts. He also teaches finance and accounting, which means he can show students how microeconomic reasoning actually translates into business decisions — making abstract models feel like practical tools rather than exam fodder.
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.
Jake's marketing degree means he studied the demand side of economics firsthand — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to market signals are concepts he's applied, not just memorized. His strong quantitative background (he tutors AP Statistics and both AP Calculus courses) lets him handle the graphing and algebraic reasoning that economics problems demand when students move past definitions into actual analysis. Rated 4.9 by his students.
Kevin's Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major at the University of Pennsylvania means he studies economics not as an isolated discipline but as something deeply entangled with policy decisions and ethical trade-offs. He breaks down concepts like market equilibrium, elasticity, and game theory by connecting them to real political and social questions that make the logic behind the models click.
I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.
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.
Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets interesting — and tricky — when students have to apply models to real-world trade policy, market failures, or development questions. Hans earned his economics degree from Northwestern with a concentration in international political economy, so he connects textbook theory to the messy situations those models were built to explain.
Studying economics at Penn means Alessia encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy debates in her own coursework every week. That real-time engagement with the material makes her especially effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and IS-LM analysis — she explains them the way she just learned to think about them, not from distant memory.
Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets tricky fast once students hit elasticity, market structures, or macroeconomic models. Emma minored in economics at Harvard, so she can unpack concepts like comparative advantage or fiscal policy with real-world examples that make the math and the theory click together. She holds a 5.0 client rating.

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.
