Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Cleveland, OH

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joshua earned his bachelor's in Economics and International Studies, which means he learned economic concepts — trade theory, exchange rates, development policy — through the lens of how they actually shape relationships between countries. That global perspective is especially useful for students who need to connect microeconomic and macroeconomic models to the messy reality of international markets and policy decisions.

Studying economics at the University of Chicago — where the discipline's most influential modern ideas were developed — means Benjamin is immersed in microeconomic reasoning and market theory at a school that takes the subject unusually seriously. His 35 ACT and strong math background let him move comfortably between the graphical intuition of supply-and-demand analysis and the algebraic problem-solving that trips up students when courses start introducing equations. Rated 4.8 by his students.

Studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at Penn means Esther encounters economic concepts not in isolation but tangled up with the political incentives and philosophical arguments that shape them — why a carbon tax gets framed as market efficiency in one class and as an ethical obligation in another. That interdisciplinary wiring is especially useful for students who need to understand the reasoning behind economic models, not just the graphs themselves. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Three engineering degrees — including one in applied mathematics — mean Rahi is fluent in the quantitative side of economics that often catches students off guard: optimization problems, marginal analysis, and the calculus lurking behind supply and demand curves. He also tutors macroeconomics and accounting, so he can connect microeconomic theory to the bigger fiscal picture and the financial statements where these forces show up in practice.

Studying economics at Yale means Conor is working through the same problem sets, models, and exam formats that many of his students are currently facing — from micro concepts like elasticity and market structures to macro topics like GDP accounting and monetary policy. That proximity to the material, paired with a 1590 SAT that signals serious quantitative chops, makes him especially sharp at walking through the graphs and algebra that tend to separate students who memorize definitions from those who actually understand how economic models work.

Majoring in both economics and mathematics at Boston College means Patrick tackles the subject from both sides — the intuitive reasoning behind concepts like elasticity and market failures, and the quantitative models that formalize them. That dual training is especially useful when students hit the parts of economics where graphs and equations start doing the heavy lifting, like consumer and producer surplus calculations or equilibrium analysis.

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.

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.

I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

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.

An MBA in Finance and Management gives Hari the kind of fluency with economic reasoning that comes from applying it — building financial models, analyzing market conditions, weighing strategic trade-offs in real business contexts. He teaches micro and macro concepts like elasticity, monetary policy, and market structures by connecting them to the finance and accounting decisions where those ideas actually matter. Rated 5.0 by his students.
