David
Certified Economics Tutor
David
MS University of Notre Dame • BA Franklin College
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Certified Economics Tutor
Rae
BA University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Eric
BA University of Michigan
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Ajay
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Ju
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
4+ Years Tutoring

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!

Trishani
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

William
BA Michigan State University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Nishika
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Jack
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Gurbani

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.

Michelle
BS University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
2+ Years Tutoring

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.

Studying economics and legal studies at Penn means Ethan lives inside the overlap between market forces and the rules that shape them — how antitrust law changes competitive dynamics, or why regulatory frameworks matter as much as supply curves.
