Studying public policy at the University of Chicago meant grappling daily with microeconomic reasoning — how incentives shape behavior, why markets fail, and when government intervention improves outcomes. Noel unpacks AP Micro concepts like elasticity, market structures, and deadweight loss by connecting them to real policy debates students already care about. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

AP Micro lives and dies on graph interpretation — shifting supply and demand curves, identifying deadweight loss, reading cost curves for firm behavior. Kelly's Financial Economics degree from Duke means she doesn't just explain these models but connects them to real market scenarios, which is exactly what the AP free-response questions demand. She holds a 5.0 rating from students.
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.
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'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 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 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 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 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!

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Microeconomics covers six main units: basic economic concepts, supply and demand, production choices and behavior, factor markets, market failure and the role of government, and international economics. The exam tests your understanding of how individual consumers and producers make decisions, how markets function, and how government policies affect economic outcomes. Most students spend the school year building knowledge progressively through these units before taking the exam in May.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students who work with a tutor to identify weak concepts, practice applying economic principles to unfamiliar scenarios, and develop test-taking strategies typically see meaningful gains—often 2-3 points on the 5-point scale. The key is focusing on areas where you struggle most, whether that's graph interpretation, understanding elasticity, or analyzing market structures.
Many students struggle with interpreting and drawing supply and demand graphs, understanding the relationship between price and quantity across different market structures, and applying economic concepts to real-world scenarios they haven't seen before. Test pacing is also challenging—you have 70 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions plus 50 minutes for three free-response questions, so time management matters. A tutor can help you build confidence with graph analysis and develop strategies for tackling unfamiliar problems efficiently.
The exam has two sections: Section I includes 60 multiple-choice questions (70 minutes), and Section II includes three free-response questions (50 minutes). The multiple-choice section tests your ability to quickly identify correct answers, while the free-response section requires you to explain economic concepts, interpret graphs, and analyze scenarios in detail. Understanding both question formats and practicing under timed conditions helps you manage anxiety and allocate your time wisely on test day.
Start by taking a full practice test under timed conditions to identify your baseline and weak areas—whether that's elasticity, consumer surplus, or monopolistic competition. Then focus your tutoring and study time on those specific topics before taking another full test. In the final weeks before the exam, take practice tests more frequently to build speed and confidence. A tutor can help you review your mistakes, understand why you chose wrong answers, and refine strategies for each question type.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Boston who specialize in AP Microeconomics. You can specify your goals—whether you're aiming for a 3, 4, or 5—and get matched with a tutor who understands the exam format, knows which topics trip up most students, and can tailor sessions to your learning style. Most students benefit from starting tutoring a few months before the May exam to build a strong foundation and practice test-taking strategies.
In your first session, a tutor will likely assess your current understanding of microeconomic concepts, discuss your goals for the exam, and identify which topics need the most work. You might review a practice test you've taken, work through a challenging concept together, or establish a study plan for the weeks ahead. This initial conversation helps your tutor understand your learning style and create a personalized approach to help you succeed on test day.
If you're taking the exam in May, starting tutoring by January or February gives you solid time to strengthen weak areas and practice under test conditions. However, if you're struggling earlier in the school year, connecting with a tutor sooner helps you build confidence with foundational concepts like supply and demand. Even a few weeks of focused tutoring closer to the exam can help with test-taking strategy and managing anxiety, so any time is better than waiting until the last minute.
