A chemistry degree might seem unrelated to economics, but David's background in thermodynamics and systems thinking translates directly to how he teaches concepts like equilibrium pricing and efficiency — both fields are built on modeling how complex systems respond to changing conditions. His master's in entrepreneurial studies adds a practical dimension, connecting micro topics like cost structures and market entry to the startup decisions where those models actually get tested. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Eric's business administration degree means he learned economics not as an isolated discipline but as the engine behind every business decision — pricing strategy, market entry, resource allocation. That lens is particularly useful for students who need to connect microeconomic concepts like elasticity or production costs to how firms actually operate and compete.
Rae earned her bachelor's in economics with a concentration in international business, so she doesn't just teach supply-and-demand curves — she explains why they shift using real trade policy, labor market, and monetary examples. Whether the topic is elasticity, GDP accounting, or game theory, she connects the math to the intuition behind it.
Economic reasoning — supply and demand curves, marginal analysis, market equilibrium — relies on the same logical structure Ajay uses daily in his philosophy coursework at Michigan. He unpacks economic models as arguments with premises and conclusions, which makes concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage click for students who struggle with purely graphical explanations.
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!
Supply and demand curves, elasticity, GDP calculations — Kerry tackles these concepts through the lens of real business decisions, drawing on her coursework at Michigan Ross. She breaks down both micro and macro frameworks so students can apply them to problem sets and essay-style questions, not just recognize vocabulary.
Psychology and economics overlap more than most students realize — behavioral economics, decision-making under uncertainty, and how cognitive biases distort rational choice all sit at that intersection. Trishani's psychology degree gives her a natural entry point into these ideas, and her business minor means she's also comfortable with the market-side fundamentals like supply, demand, and incentive structures. Rated 5.0 by her students.
Supply and demand curves, elasticity, GDP accounting — economics has a language of its own, and William approaches it the way an engineer would: by grounding every abstract model in a concrete, real-world mechanism. His background in engineering science means he's comfortable with the graphical and quantitative analysis that trips up students who expected a purely verbal course.
As an economics major in Michigan's honors program, Davis doesn't just know the textbook models — he's working through them at a rigorous level right now, from consumer and producer theory to market failures and international trade. That proximity to the material means he remembers exactly where concepts get confusing and how to explain them differently. He also brings Excel fluency to any coursework that involves data analysis or problem sets.
Supply and demand curves are intuitive until you have to shift them simultaneously and explain what happens to equilibrium price — that's where most econ students get lost. Nishika's business degree from Michigan means she learned these models in context, connecting microeconomic theory to real market behavior and macroeconomic policy to actual fiscal data. She walks through graphical analysis step by step so students can reason through problems instead of guessing at shifts.
I am a very strong writer, communicator, and a huge science geek. I've also spent years coaching elementary and middle school students in various sports, and have found fulfillment and success working with all age ranges.
Jack earned his economics degree and teaches the subject across three levels — high school, college, and CLEP microeconomics prep — which means he knows how the same concepts like elasticity or market efficiency get tested differently depending on the course. His stats and calculus background keeps him sharp on the quantitative side, so when a class suddenly expects students to derive demand curves or interpret regression output, he can walk through the math without losing the economic intuition behind it. Rated 4.9 by his students.
As an economics major at Notre Dame, Michael lives in this material daily — supply and demand models, market structures, game theory, and macroeconomic policy. He connects abstract graphs and equations to real-world scenarios like housing markets or Federal Reserve decisions, which makes the logic behind economic models click faster.
Studying finance at Michigan means Timothy lives inside economic models daily — supply and demand curves, market structures, monetary policy mechanics. He unpacks concepts like elasticity, GDP accounting, and game theory by tying them to real market behavior, which makes abstract graphs and equations click faster than rote memorization ever could.
An economics degree gives Gurbani more than textbook knowledge — it gives her the ability to explain supply and demand, elasticity, and market structures using real scenarios students actually encounter. She connects abstract graphs to concrete questions like why gas prices spike or how minimum wage affects hiring. That intuition-first approach makes the math and theory behind economics far less intimidating.
Triple-majoring in economics, mathematics, and philosophy gave Thomas an unusual vantage point — he can walk through a microeconomic model's math, then step back and question whether its assumptions about rational behavior actually hold up. That analytical range is especially useful when students need to move between the graphical intuition of intro courses and the more formal reasoning behind topics like game theory or welfare analysis. Rated 5.0 by his students.
Engineering students rarely get credit for their economics chops, but Sawyer's general engineering program at Michigan Tech means he's constantly working through optimization problems, resource allocation, and trade-off analysis — the same logic that underpins microeconomic thinking. He's especially strong on the quantitative side, breaking down how graphs and equations map onto concepts like elasticity and marginal cost. Rated 4.7 by his students.
Supply and demand curves, elasticity, market equilibrium — introductory economics is built on a handful of models that click once you see the logic behind them. Krishanu's quantitative background in computer science means he's comfortable with the graphical analysis and algebraic problem-solving that trip up students who expected a purely reading-based social science.
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 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 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.
As an economics major at Northwestern, Sarah digs into the same core principles — scarcity, opportunity cost, market equilibrium, elasticity — that introductory students encounter for the first time. She translates abstract models into concrete examples, making supply-and-demand curves and production possibilities frontiers feel intuitive rather than mechanical.
As an economics undergrad, Ify is actively working through the same material her students encounter — from micro concepts like elasticity and market structures to macro topics like aggregate demand and fiscal policy — which means the problem sets and exam formats are fresh in her mind. She also teaches AP Micro and AP Macro, so she knows exactly where the College Board emphasizes tricky distinctions like the difference between a movement along a curve and a shift of the curve. Rated 5.0 by her students.
Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets tricky fast once students hit elasticity, market structures, or macroeconomic models. Emma minored in economics at Harvard, so she can unpack concepts like comparative advantage or fiscal policy with real-world examples that make the math and the theory click together. She holds a 5.0 client rating.
Clive is currently studying economics at Brown, where he's immersed in everything from microeconomic theory and market structures to macroeconomic policy and econometric modeling. That active coursework means he knows exactly which concepts — opportunity cost, elasticity, game theory, aggregate demand — tend to trip students up and how current professors frame them.
As a Finance major at Boston College, Andy engages with economic theory daily — from GDP and inflation to trade policy and market structures. He unpacks concepts like supply-and-demand equilibrium and opportunity cost by tying them to real headlines and business decisions, making the logic behind economic models click rather than feel abstract.
Monetary policy, banking systems, and market behavior aren't abstractions to Cole — they were the focus of his cum laude master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches economics by grounding theory in current events, so students see how supply-and-demand diagrams or GDP calculations connect to headlines they've actually read. Rated 5.0 by students.
Felix is pursuing economics or applied mathematics at the University of Chicago, one of the discipline's most rigorous programs. He breaks down concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage by connecting the graphs to real decision-making — so the math and the intuition develop together. His 5.0 client rating speaks to how clearly he communicates material that often feels abstract.
Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Dawn digs into the mechanics of market equilibrium, elasticity, monetary policy, and game theory that make economics click at the college level. Her B.S. in Economics with a finance concentration from Duke means she can connect textbook models to how markets actually behave.
Noah's political science background at Penn gave him serious exposure to economic policy — trade theory, fiscal policy debates, and how markets interact with government institutions. He teaches economics as a way of thinking about tradeoffs and incentives, connecting supply-and-demand models to real policy questions students actually care about.
I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.
Supply and demand diagrams are just the entry point — JF digs into the reasoning behind elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium so that students can tackle unfamiliar problems without relying on memorized setups. His dual math and computer science training at Stanford gives him a quantitative edge when explaining concepts like marginal analysis and cost curves.
Studying economics at Dartmouth with a computational emphasis, Eric digs into both the theoretical models and the real-world data that test them. He's particularly effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium — translating the math into plain-language reasoning that sticks.
