Award-Winning Microeconomics Tutors
serving Grand Rapids, MI

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying optimization logic to consumer choice, firm behavior, and market structures. Darin's engineering background means he's comfortable walking through the calculus behind marginal analysis and showing students how each graph tells a precise quantitative story.

Because Bailey studied economics at Duke — where the curriculum leans heavily on formal microeconomic modeling — she's worked through the full sequence: consumer and producer theory, elasticity, market structures, and the welfare analysis that ties them together. Her 3.94 GPA in that program signals she actually retained the mechanics, from setting up Lagrangians for constrained optimization to interpreting what happens graphically when a tax wedge enters a competitive market.

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.

David's sociology research at Columbia and Chicago trained him to model how individuals make decisions under constraints — which is exactly what microeconomics formalizes with utility functions, budget lines, and optimization problems. His computer science background adds fluency with the quantitative side, from setting up cost minimization equations to interpreting the slopes of indifference curves. Rated 4.9 by students.

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.

At UCLA, Christopher studied economics with a double major that gave him both the quantitative models and the historical context behind how markets actually develop — useful when explaining why perfectly competitive markets rarely exist or how government intervention reshapes incentive structures. His time at Deutsche Bank adds a practical dimension to topics like firm pricing behavior and cost analysis, since he's seen how businesses weigh marginal decisions with real money on the line.

An economics degree from SUNY Albany means James can teach microeconomic concepts — supply and demand curves, elasticity, market structures, consumer choice theory — with the depth of someone who studied them formally. He connects abstract models like marginal utility and cost curves to real-world pricing decisions that make the logic intuitive. His 4.9 rating speaks to how clearly he breaks down graphs and mathematical relationships that trip students up.

A political science degree from Williams College means Noah studied how policy decisions ripple through markets — tax incidence, rent controls, minimum wage effects — where microeconomic models meet real-world trade-offs. He teaches students to trace the logic of those models, breaking down why a subsidy shifts a curve or how deadweight loss emerges, rather than treating graphs as shapes to memorize for an exam.

Chemical engineering coursework is essentially applied optimization — minimizing costs, maximizing output, working within constraints — which maps directly onto how microeconomics models firm behavior and resource allocation. Devin uses that quantitative instinct to unpack concepts like supply-and-demand shifts and elasticity calculations, connecting the graphs to the underlying logic rather than treating them as standalone diagrams. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying them to consumer theory, production costs, and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition. Ezra's economics degree gives him deep fluency with these models, and his finance background means he can connect textbook graphs to actual pricing and strategy decisions students find intuitive.
