Being inside Michigan Ross's BBA program means Kerry encounters microeconomic thinking in nearly every class — how firms decide what to produce, why pricing strategies differ across market structures, and what drives consumer decision-making under scarcity. That daily immersion in business case analysis gives her a way of teaching concepts like elasticity and profit maximization that's grounded in how companies actually behave, not just how curves shift on a whiteboard.

Triple-majoring in economics, mathematics, and philosophy means Thomas didn't just memorize supply-and-demand diagrams — he learned the calculus that drives optimization models and the logical reasoning that holds economic arguments together. That combination is especially useful for breaking down problems like consumer surplus calculations or figuring out why a monopolist's marginal revenue curve sits below the demand curve. Holds a 5.0 rating.
I'm hoping to be your next tutor! I've worked with kids of all ages and know that every one has a unique learning style and requires patience and attention. I look forward to working with you or your child to meet their goals
I am a student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor majoring in economics. My main tutoring subjects are microeconomics, macroeconomics, and math from algebra to calculus, but I am also able to work with students on a broad range of fundamentals. In high school I volunteered as a math and Spanish tutor, helping students with homework and exam study and assisting teachers with making lesson materials; during summer, I volunteered as a Junior Counselor at summer camp, guiding elementary-age children through science and art activities and engaging them through play. In college, I have continued to work as a math and economics tutor for minority students. There is nothing more rewarding for both student and tutor than to see the smile on a little kid's face as they dream about building rockets, or the satisfaction a high schooler feels as they grasp calculus formulas. Years of service have proven to me that struggling students respond well to patient, structured guidance that focuses on grasping concepts and identifying patterns. Everyone deserves the chance to explore fields they thought were beyond their reach, broaden their passions, and experience the pride of achievement and improvement. As a tutor, I hope to offer all that and more to my students. When I'm not working, I enjoy self-studying the Scottish Gaelic language, singing traditional folk songs, and going on walks around my neighborhood.
From elasticity calculations to the nuances of monopolistic competition, microeconomics requires students to think graphically and verbally at the same time. David breaks down each market structure by walking through the firm's decision-making process step by step — where marginal cost meets marginal revenue, why profits shrink in the long run, and what happens when assumptions change. His entrepreneurship background means these aren't hypothetical firms to him.
The jump from basic supply-and-demand to consumer theory, production functions, and market structures trips up a lot of students because the math and the intuition have to work together. Eric unpacks each model — indifference curves, marginal cost pricing, game theory matrices — by tying the algebra back to the economic story it tells. His Business Administration training gives him a practical lens on how firms actually make these decisions.
I'm a premedical student at Cornell University with extensive experience tutoring students, especially in chemistry at the high school and undergraduate level, writing at the high school and undergraduate level, and SAT/ACT prep.
I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!
I am a Dartmouth graduate. I am currently working on my med and business endeavors. I have not only an interest, but a motivation to help others. I have helped students get into Ivy League schools as well as other top universities across the country with top scholarships. I tutor in all subjects from French to Essay Writing and Algebra to Chemistry! I want my students and tutees to see the value in themselves and know that they can accomplish anything with determination and hard work! Realizing you can do it is half the battle and working hard to bring that dream to fruition is the other half!
I am an undergraduate Economics student at University of Michigan's honors program. I have experience tutoring how to use excel, math through the calculus level, and micro and macro economics. I try to build students from what they understand to what they are trying to learn.
Jake's marketing degree gives him a practical angle on microeconomic concepts — he's studied how firms actually respond to price elasticity, how consumers weigh marginal utility in purchasing decisions, and why market structures shape advertising strategy. That real-world grounding makes abstract models like profit maximization and cost curves feel less like graph exercises and more like tools businesses use every day. Rated 4.9 by students.
Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — microeconomics gets interesting when students tackle consumer theory, elasticity, and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition. Katherine's economics degree from Penn and her day job in management consulting mean she can ground these models in real business decisions, making abstract graphs feel intuitive.
Elasticity, marginal cost curves, game theory matrices — microeconomics is deceptively math-heavy for a social science. Ryan earned his bachelor's degree in economics and tackles micro by grounding every graph and equation in the real-world decision it represents, so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on exams instead of relying on memorized steps.
Marginal cost, elasticity, consumer surplus — microeconomics is full of terms that sound technical but describe decisions people make every day. Travis unpacks these concepts by tying them to real scenarios: why airlines price seats differently, how a coffee shop decides its hours, what happens when a city caps rent. His political science training sharpens the policy side of micro, especially around market failures and regulation.
Introductory microeconomics is where Reed cut his teeth as a tutor — he served as a prefect and TA for Carleton College's micro courses, running both classroom sessions and one-on-one reviews. He digs into consumer and producer theory, cost curves, and market structures with an emphasis on connecting the graphs to the underlying math so each concept reinforces the other.
Reading The Economist for fun is one thing — Mark actually digs into the microeconomic logic underneath the headlines, connecting how firms price goods or respond to regulation back to the models students see in class. His bioengineering grad work is heavily quantitative, so he's comfortable walking through the calculus behind profit maximization or cost minimization problems that trip up students in intermediate micro.
Marginal cost curves, consumer surplus, and game theory matrices can feel abstract until someone shows you the math driving each one. Rahi tackles microeconomics by walking through the calculus behind optimization — profit maximization, utility functions, price discrimination — so students can solve problems confidently instead of memorizing graph shapes.
Cognitive science trained Amanda to think about how people make decisions under constraints — which is essentially what microeconomics formalizes with models of consumer choice, firm behavior, and resource allocation. She breaks down the reasoning behind concepts like utility maximization and market equilibria by connecting them to the decision-making frameworks she studied at Northwestern, making the abstract logic behind the graphs feel grounded and intuitive.
Supply and demand curves are just the beginning — Nisarg digs into the trickier concepts like elasticity, marginal utility, and market structures that separate a surface-level understanding from real economic thinking. His background debating politics and economics means he can connect abstract models to real-world pricing, competition, and policy decisions that make the theory click.
Pursuing a PhD in economics means Jacob isn't just passing through microeconomics — he's building a career on it, with the mathematical rigor from his joint math studies to back it up. He teaches students to think through models like a researcher would, connecting the intuition behind consumer choice or firm behavior to the calculus that formalizes it. Rated 5.0 by students.
The jump from understanding supply and demand to tackling consumer surplus, deadweight loss, and game theory is where most microeconomics students struggle. Neil breaks these concepts down using the same analytical framework he relied on as an investment analyst — evaluating trade-offs, marginal costs, and strategic behavior in real markets. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach translates to the classroom.
Running a startup means David lives microeconomic decision-making — pricing strategy, cost structures, how competitive dynamics actually play out when you're the one making the calls. His UChicago MBA and economics degree give him the formal modeling toolkit to back up that practical instinct, so he can teach concepts like price discrimination or game theory with concrete examples from real business operations.
