During your first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of Economics—whether you're just starting out or preparing for AP Exam—and identify specific areas where you need support. They'll ask about your learning style, goals, and any topics that have been confusing. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized plan that targets your weaknesses while building on your strengths.
