Award-Winning Microeconomics Tutors
serving Lansing, 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.

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.

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.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Conor digs into the trickier microeconomic territory like elasticity calculations, consumer and producer surplus, and game theory models where students tend to struggle. As an Economics major at Yale, he's actively working through these concepts at an advanced level and can break down how firms make pricing decisions in different market structures.

Kyle's statistics degree means he's fluent in the quantitative reasoning that underpins microeconomic analysis — interpreting slopes on cost curves, thinking through marginal changes, and modeling how rational agents optimize under constraints. He brings that statistical intuition to topics like elasticity and market efficiency, where students often struggle to connect the math to what's actually happening in a market. Rated 4.9 by students.

Elasticity, market structures, and consumer theory can feel abstract until someone walks you through the logic behind each graph. Noah breaks down microeconomic models step by step, connecting concepts like marginal cost curves and deadweight loss to concrete examples so the intuition clicks before the exam.

The jump from supply-and-demand basics to producer theory and game theory is where most micro students struggle. Shih digs into the math behind indifference curves, cost minimization, and Nash equilibria, drawing on his finance coursework at UGA to show how these models map onto real firm decisions and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition.

The math behind microeconomics — setting up Lagrangians for constrained optimization, deriving demand from utility functions, finding equilibrium prices algebraically — is where most students hit a wall. Thomas's math and stats training at Carleton means he can teach both the economic intuition and the calculus simultaneously, so a concept like profit maximization isn't just "set MC equal to MR" but a problem a student can actually solve and interpret. Rated 5.0 by students.

Consumer choice theory, production functions, market structures — microeconomics is full of models that look abstract until someone shows you how they map onto real behavior. Natalie's dual focus in economics and engineering at Duke means she approaches these models both intuitively and mathematically, breaking down each graph until the logic behind it is clear.

As an economics major at Dartmouth, Eric studies microeconomic models — game theory, firm pricing strategies, consumer optimization — with the formal rigor of a top program, not just a survey-level overview. His strong quantitative background (1520 SAT, heavy calculus coursework) means he can walk through the math behind indifference curves or profit maximization while keeping the economic intuition front and center. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying finance at Boston College means Andy works with microeconomic principles daily — how firms price products, why markets allocate resources the way they do, and what happens when they don't. He brings that applied lens to concepts like profit maximization and market structures, grounding abstract graphs in the kind of real business reasoning that makes them click. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

Supply-and-demand diagrams are easy until you hit consumer and producer surplus, deadweight loss from price controls, or the math behind profit maximization in different market structures. Rohan digs into the logic behind each model so students can derive answers rather than memorize curve shifts. His economics degree means he connects introductory micro concepts to the bigger analytical framework they feed into.
