Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Akron, OH

Peter's journalism degree trained him to research, synthesize, and explain complex systems to a general audience — skills that translate directly to breaking down economic concepts like market structures, trade-offs, and policy impacts into clear, logical narratives. His Master's in Education means he knows how to structure those explanations so they actually land, whether a student is wrestling with supply-and-demand graphs or trying to connect micro principles to bigger macro questions.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in economics is tracing how a single change ripples through markets, government budgets, and consumer behavior. Lillian's science-heavy pharmacy background means she treats economic models the way she treats chemical equations: systematically, with every variable accounted for.

Double-majoring in economics and political science at Georgetown, Adam is studying how economic theory translates into policy decisions in real time — from debates over trade agreements to the mechanics of fiscal stimulus. His statistics minor adds quantitative muscle when students need to work through data-driven problems like interpreting regression output or calculating multiplier effects. He scored a 35 on the ACT, so the math side of econ comes naturally.

Ella is currently pursuing her economics degree, which means supply-and-demand models, optimization problems, and market equilibrium analysis aren't abstract textbook ideas for her — they're this week's problem sets. She's especially sharp at connecting the mathematical side of economics (derivatives, constrained optimization) to the intuition behind what the numbers actually mean.

Hyerin earned her bachelor's degree in economics, so concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage aren't abstract textbook ideas to her — they're the foundation of how she thinks about decision-making. She connects microeconomic models to real-world scenarios and walks through the math behind supply-and-demand shifts so students understand the graphs, not just memorize their shapes.

Supply-and-demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets tricky when students need to connect micro-level decisions to macro-level outcomes like inflation or unemployment. Christopher's finance training at Ohio State gives him a quantitative backbone for explaining concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market equilibrium with real numbers rather than abstract theory. He's especially effective at walking students through graph interpretation and the kind of analytical writing that econ courses increasingly require.

As an Economics major at Vassar, Henry doesn't just know supply-and-demand curves from a textbook — he's actively working through game theory, market structures, and macroeconomic policy models in his own coursework. That proximity to the material means he remembers exactly where concepts like elasticity or comparative advantage tend to trip students up and can explain them in plain terms.

What drew Albert to economics wasn't the graphs or formulas — it was the underlying way of thinking, the logic of incentives, trade-offs, and unintended consequences that shows up everywhere from grocery store pricing to government budgets. As an economics major at Indiana Wesleyan who also studies political science and humanities, he teaches concepts like marginal analysis and market equilibrium by connecting them to the decisions students already make every day. Rated 4.9 by his students.

With an economics degree and a teaching roster that spans micro, macro, and both AP courses, Alexander covers the full introductory sequence — from elasticity and market structures through aggregate demand and fiscal policy. His Mandarin fluency also makes him a strong fit for international economics concepts like exchange rates and trade balances, where he can draw on cross-cultural context that most tutors can't.

Double-majoring in economics and physics at Case Western Reserve means Anish lives in both the theoretical and quantitative sides of the discipline — he's as comfortable with game theory and market models as he is deriving equations in a physics lab. That cross-training is especially useful when economics courses start leaning on calculus-based optimization or statistical reasoning, since he can walk through the math without losing sight of the economic intuition behind it.

I am a rising sophomore at Kenyon College, a small liberal arts school an hour out of Columbus, Ohio, majoring in Philosophy. It is difficult to identify a specialty of mine because I have worked with students from 1st grade through high school on topics ranging from elementary science to trigonometry test prep, but my foremost strength is the three sections of the SAT. I have roughly three years of experience tutoring and last year taught a test prep class. My approach to tutoring is to identify a students strengths and build upon them through frequent quizzes and reflective analysis. Additionally, having just gone through the college admissions process, I am privy to its length and complexity so can lend advice on anything, namely essays. I have plenty of experience writing and have been published in a local newspaper. While I think math is the easiest subject for me to teach, writing and writing skills are my favorite to teach because to see a writers progress is an extraordinary sight and, further, challenge.

I'm a rising sophomore from Yale University. There I am studying to pursue a degree in either economics or computer science, and possibly both. I took the ACT a time or too and know my way around the exam, and I think I have a strong handle on the college admissions process.

An effective educator must be able to recognize each individual student's learning style and to adapt the lesson to accommodate that style. Also, each student has a different rate of learning. Thus, the lessons must be directed not only towards ensuring the student masters the material but also keeps the student engaged in and enthusiatic about the education process. Finally, the effective tutor must remember that the end goal of the learning process is not only to master a defined set of knowledge and skills, but also to learn "how to learn;" in this way the student will be better equipped to thrive in an ever changing environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rithi's quantitative backbone — a neuroscience degree, a master's in biotechnology, and deep coursework in statistics and calculus — means she can tackle the math-heavy side of economics that often catches students off guard, like working through elasticity calculations, interpreting cost curves, or setting up optimization problems. Her 4.9 rating speaks to an ability to make that quantitative reasoning feel approachable even for students who came in expecting a purely conceptual course.

Studying both History and Economics at Harvard, Finley tackles economics the way it actually works — as a discipline shaped by real-world policy decisions and historical context. He breaks down concepts like supply-and-demand elasticity, market structures, and game theory by grounding them in concrete examples rather than abstract graphs alone. Rated 5.0 by students.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets interesting — and tricky — when students have to apply models to real-world trade policy, market failures, or development questions. Hans earned his economics degree from Northwestern with a concentration in international political economy, so he connects textbook theory to the messy situations those models were built to explain.

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.

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.

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.

An MBA from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate economics degree mean David has encountered the full spectrum of economic reasoning — from microeconomic models of firm behavior to the macroeconomic policy debates that shape real markets. Running a startup gives him a founder's perspective on how concepts like pricing strategy, marginal cost, and competitive dynamics actually play out when you're the one making the decisions.

Three economics degrees deep, Simon lives in supply-and-demand curves, GDP models, and game theory the way most people live in their native language. He unpacks concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market equilibrium by tying them to real headlines — tariff debates, Federal Reserve decisions, housing markets — so the math and the intuition reinforce each other.
