Matt's finance degree means he learned economics not as an isolated academic subject but as the engine behind investment decisions, corporate strategy, and market behavior — so when he teaches concepts like elasticity or market structures, he can show students where the theory actually lands. His SAT score of 1530 also signals the kind of sharp analytical reading that economics coursework demands, especially when students need to interpret dense graphs or parse tricky problem setups.

Studying economics and finance at Wharton means Samica encounters micro and macroeconomic theory daily — supply and demand curves, market structures, GDP modeling — and can translate those concepts into clear, intuitive explanations. She connects abstract ideas like elasticity or comparative advantage to real-world business cases, which makes the material stick far better than rote definition review.
I am a student at the Honors College of Rutgers - New Brunswick. I am currently working towards attaining a B.S. in Biochemistry, as well as a minor in Business and Administration. Over the last five years, I have reconciled my passion for teaching and my desire to interact with fellow students through tutoring. While I have tutored in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science, math, and English. Having taught many students, each of whom were different in terms of personality and learning style, I understand the importance of tailoring the lesson to the student's strengths. As a result, I work to create unique, individualized learning plans that engage the student and make learning feel like an opportunity, rather than a chore.
Rohan earned his bachelor's in economics and also teaches econometrics, which means he's comfortable on both sides of the discipline — the intuitive logic of how markets work and the quantitative modeling that proves it. That range is especially useful when students hit topics like elasticity or game theory, where a clean graph matters as much as the algebra behind it. Rated 4.9 by his students.
An MD/MBA track means Sagar lives at the intersection of quantitative analysis and real-world decision-making — exactly the skillset that makes microeconomic reasoning about incentives, trade-offs, and marginal costs click for students. His biology and business training lets him pull examples from healthcare markets and corporate strategy, turning abstract supply-and-demand models into scenarios students can actually visualize.
Michael's economics degree means he built his understanding of microeconomic concepts like elasticity, market structures, and consumer choice through the same coursework his students are navigating now — and his math and computer science research background lets him handle the quantitative side without flinching. When a problem requires translating an economic intuition into a graph or equation, he can walk through both the reasoning and the mechanics. Rated 5.0 by his students.
Studying economics at Emory means Sai lives in this material daily — from modeling supply and demand elasticity to analyzing market failures and game theory. He breaks down the math behind economic models so the intuition follows naturally, whether students are tackling micro, macro, or econometrics. Rated 4.5 by students.
I am looking to tutor in the areas of: Math, English, and for test prep. I was an honors student in High School, scored very well on all my tests, and have now earned a scholarship to go to Rutgers University for the Honors Program.
Jeremiah earned his bachelor's in economics from Calvin College, so concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and GDP accounting aren't abstract textbook ideas to him — they're the foundation of his academic training. He unpacks economic models by connecting them to real-world examples, making supply-and-demand analysis or game theory intuitive rather than formulaic. Rated 5.0 by students.
Studying finance at Rutgers means Shankhadip works with economic concepts in their applied form every day — interest rate models, market behavior, firm valuation — so he can unpack ideas like elasticity or monetary policy by showing where they actually land in financial decision-making. He also teaches AP Micro, AP Government, and statistics, which gives him a sharp sense of how economics overlaps with political institutions and quantitative reasoning. Rated 4.8 by his students.
Winning first place in the New York Fed Challenge with Rutgers Newark — and advancing to the national finals at the Federal Reserve — meant Andre had to build and defend economic arguments under pressure, not just recite textbook definitions. His actuarial exams in probability and financial mathematics sharpen how he teaches the quantitative side of economics, particularly topics like expected utility, risk modeling, and the math behind market behavior.
Supply and demand curves are straightforward until you have to apply them — explaining why a price ceiling creates a shortage or how elasticity changes a tax's impact. Shivani connects abstract economic models to real-world examples that make the logic intuitive, drawing on her bioinformatics training to bring a data-literate perspective to graphs and quantitative problems.
Pursuing an economics minor alongside her business degree at Rutgers, Ema sees both the theoretical and applied sides of the discipline daily. She unpacks core concepts like opportunity cost, elasticity, and market equilibrium by connecting abstract graphs to real-world pricing and policy decisions that make the logic intuitive rather than formulaic.
Supply-and-demand diagrams are just the entry point — the real challenge in economics is applying those tools to questions about trade, market failure, and policy tradeoffs. Andrew tackles these applications head-on as a Vassar economics major who can walk through both the math and the reasoning behind concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and externalities.
Supply and demand curves are intuitive enough, but economics gets tricky when students hit elasticity calculations, market equilibrium shifts, or the difference between short-run and long-run cost curves. Eimi breaks these concepts down using real-world examples — pricing decisions, trade policy, labor markets — so the graphs and equations carry actual meaning.
I'm a recent graduate of Lehigh University who is extremely excited to begin tutoring. I was initially admitted into Lehigh's school of business and spent a year there before realizing my need to pursue my true passion for English. I graduated in only three and a half years with a Bachelor's degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material.
Vidhaath earned a double minor in Statistics and Economics at Rutgers, which means he can teach both the intuition behind concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage and the quantitative models that back them up. Now in law school at Iowa, he brings real-world policy context to supply-and-demand analysis and market structure discussions.
Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in economics is applying models like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium to messy real-world scenarios. Tiffany's international business degree gave her a strong grounding in both micro and macro principles, and she teaches students to think through cause-and-effect chains rather than memorize graph shifts.
I am a rising junior studying finance at Rutgers University. For high school, I attended Bergen County Academies and completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program as part of the Academy for Business and Finance. I have a vast amount of experience tutoring different subject material to different age groups, with a specialty in test prep. I tutored a high school freshman in Algebra 2 for a year (helping her get an A), a rising high school senior for the ACT (boosting his initial score by 25%), and groups of high schoolers for SAT prep. I have also worked with younger age groups as a camp counselor and a tutor at an elementary school near my university. I love tutoring because it gives me the chance to help my students reach their academic goals, which I know they care about deeply. I also enjoy getting to know a variety of people and being able to watch them grow as individuals and intellectuals through the tutoring process. Outside of academia, I enjoy sports, music, and spending time with friends and family.
I'm a rising sophomore student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! I am primarily looking to help out upper middle school/high school students with subjects like Algebra, SAT prep, as well as AP Statistics and AP Microeconomics. I have had learning experience in all of the above subjects in a high school and/or college setting, and I believe in getting students engaged with real world examples as well as other test prep material, while also providing insight to all the tips and tricks needed for test and subject prep!
I am a sophomore at Rutgers University studying Computer Science. I have a lot of experience working with both younger children and teenagers, as I have been a volunteer tutor for the past four years. Tutoring in English is always fun for me, as I have been an avid reader since I was a young child, and it is a subject that I have always enjoyed. Moreover, I also like to tutor in math and math related subjects, because I myself often struggled with math when I was younger, and I found it very frustrating. Now that I am older, I realize the reason I found it so uninteresting was because it was taught too quickly without any real discussion of what we were doing. I now make sure that all of my students understand the fundamental ideas behind the materiel they are learning, and this allows them to ace their exams easily.
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. That legal dimension gives him a useful angle for explaining topics like market failures and government intervention, where the textbook model and the real-world outcome don't always match up. His 35 ACT speaks to the kind of analytical sharpness that translates well into breaking down econ problem sets.
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.
Studying sociology at the University of Chicago means Zo is constantly analyzing how institutions, incentives, and inequality shape human behavior — which is essentially what economics does through a quantitative lens. That social-science fluency makes her especially sharp on topics like market failures, externalities, and the distributional questions that come up in both micro and macro courses. Rated 5.0 by her students.
I am currently working in a Bronx Public School as a teaching apprentice in Algebra. I have four years of experience tutoring one on one with students of all ages.
I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!
Public policy analysis at the University of Chicago meant Noel spent his undergraduate years dissecting how economic principles — budget trade-offs, incentive design, cost-benefit frameworks — actually drive government decisions. That training makes him especially sharp on the macro side of economics, where fiscal policy and public spending aren't abstract textbook topics but the real-world problems he studied daily. Rated 4.9 by his students.
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.
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.
Studying both engineering and economics at Duke gave Natalie a quantitative lens on economic reasoning — she's comfortable moving between supply-and-demand intuition and the math behind elasticity, optimization, and equilibrium. She digs into the "why" behind each model so students can apply concepts to unfamiliar problems, not just textbook examples.
Jack earned his economics degree at Northwestern, where he studied everything from game theory to monetary policy in both micro and macro contexts. He connects abstract models — supply and demand curves, GDP calculations, elasticity — to real-world scenarios that make the reasoning behind each graph intuitive rather than mechanical.
Cornell's Labor and Industrial Relations program is essentially applied economics — Andrew has spent semesters working through supply and demand modeling, labor market analysis, and cost-benefit frameworks. He breaks down concepts like elasticity and market equilibrium by tying them to real workforce data, making abstract theory tangible.
Studying economics at Penn means Jennifer encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy frameworks on a daily basis — not as abstract concepts but as tools she actively uses. She unpacks ideas like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium by tying them to real-world examples that make the logic intuitive. Students preparing for AP Econ or introductory college courses get someone who genuinely lives the material.
