Alyssa
BA Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

Harvard's Public Policy curriculum gave Alyssa a rigorous grounding in micro and macroeconomic theory — supply and demand modeling, market failures, fiscal policy analysis — that she now breaks down for students tackling college-level econ. She connects abstract concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage to real policy debates, making the material click rather than just survive on a formula sheet.

Noel
Certified Economics Tutor
Noel
BA University of Chicago
7+ Years Tutoring

Public policy analysis at the University of Chicago meant Noel spent his undergraduate years dissecting how economic principles — budget trade-offs, incentive design, cost-benefit frameworks — actually drive government decisions. That training makes him especially sharp on the macro side of economics, where fiscal policy and public spending aren't abstract textbook topics but the real-world problems he studied daily. Rated 4.9 by his students.

A PhD in physical chemistry and an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering mean Darin has spent years working through the same optimization problems and cost-benefit reasoning that underpin microeconomic theory — minimizing energy states isn't so different from minimizing costs under constraints. He brings that quantitative fluency to economics topics like marginal analysis and equilibrium modeling, making the math behind the concepts feel intuitive rather than intimidating.

Rob
MS Fordham University • BA Fordham University
1+ Years Tutoring

Rob's philosophy training — formal logic, argument structure, evaluating competing frameworks — translates surprisingly well to economics, where students need to reason through models, weigh trade-offs, and construct clear analytical arguments about market behavior. His triple major at Fordham means he's practiced moving between disciplines, which is exactly what economics demands when a question shifts from interpreting a graph to writing about policy implications. Rated 5.0 by his students.

Michael
BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

I am also a first year medical student at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. I have extensive experience with premedical classes and have taken and tutored the MCAT exam. I placed in the 97th percentile of the MCAT exam and I understand what the test takers want students to know and how to bridge the gap between knowing the material and doing well on the test. I am always excited when a student finally has that "ah-ha" moment and declares that they now can see how all of these seemingly separate scientific topics are actually all related. The MCAT no longer seems scary, but turns into a means of truly learning this material and providing a strong foundation for the future.

Arthur
BA Middlebury College

Arthur earned his economics degree and then kept using it — his subject list spans macroeconomics, government, political science, and AP U.S. Government, which means he naturally teaches economic concepts through the lens of policy debates and institutional decision-making. When a student needs to understand why a tariff reshapes domestic markets or how fiscal multipliers actually influence GDP, he connects the model to the political machinery behind it. His 36 ACT speaks to the analytical precision he brings to breaking down graphs, data tables, and the quantitative side of econ.
