Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Eugene, OR

I'm currently majoring in bioengineering/pre-med at Rice University. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class. My interests include biology, math, and violin performance. I've done neuroscience research at the Jungers Center for Neuroscience Reseach and the Oregon National Primate Research Center. I've also done molecular biology research at the Oregon Stem Cell Center.

I am a TEFL certified English language teacher, with multiple years of experience teaching English overseas, having lived in both Thailand and Laos, and worked with students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons have ranged from language activation and phonics in kindergarten, to grammar instruction with teens, to conversational business English with adults.

I am a graduate of Luther College, a liberal arts school in Decorah, IA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Religion, with a minor in Social Welfare. Throughout college, I tutored many students in high school and college level math. I loved the process of helping people through math problems, so after graduating I served in the MN Math Corps as a Math Enrichment Tutor, where I learned research based teaching methods to tutor middle school students who were below proficiency in math. Currently, I am certified to tutor a broad range of math subjects ranging from elementary math to pre-calculus, as well as ACT Math and GRE Math/Verbal test prep. Through my experience, I've found that the best method of tutoring is to tailor it to each student's learning style (every concept can be taught/understood in multiple ways), and make sure the student actually understands what he/she is doing versus just learning equations and methods to complete assignments. I am very passionate about tutoring math as I love empowering people, and I believe mathematics is a vital subject to learn and understand. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a data analyst for a market research firm near Chicago. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up on current events, reading (I love Harry Potter and Hunger Games!), Ultimate Frisbee, playing guitar and piano, and learning economics.

Kevin's Philosophy, Politics, and Economics major at the University of Pennsylvania means he studies economics not as an isolated discipline but as something deeply entangled with policy decisions and ethical trade-offs. He breaks down concepts like market equilibrium, elasticity, and game theory by connecting them to real political and social questions that make the logic behind the models click.

Felix is pursuing economics or applied mathematics at the University of Chicago, one of the discipline's most rigorous programs. He breaks down concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage by connecting the graphs to real decision-making — so the math and the intuition develop together. His 5.0 client rating speaks to how clearly he communicates material that often feels abstract.

A PhD candidate in economics at Yale with undergraduate degrees in physics and math from the same institution, Anthony brings serious quantitative firepower to the subject — the kind that matters when courses pivot from intuitive ideas about markets into optimization problems, game theory, or econometric proofs. He also teaches AP Micro, AP Macro, and econometrics, so he can connect introductory concepts to the formal models students will encounter as the material deepens. Rated 5.0 by his students.

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.

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

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.

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.

Elasticity, marginal analysis, market equilibrium, game theory — economics is ultimately about building models and knowing when they break down. Kelly studied Financial Economics at Duke and brings that analytical depth to both micro and macro concepts, unpacking the math behind the intuition so students can tackle problem sets and essays with equal confidence.

Supply and demand curves seem simple until you have to use them to predict what happens after a tax, a price ceiling, or a shift in consumer expectations. Dana approaches economics as applied logic rather than memorization, connecting each concept to real-world policy questions she studied extensively during her public policy coursework. Her 36 ACT reflects the same analytical precision she brings to economic reasoning.

Studying finance at UGA means Vignesh works with economic concepts as living inputs — interest rates, market structures, consumer behavior — not just textbook diagrams, since his coursework requires applying micro and macro reasoning to actual corporate and investment decisions. He also teaches AP Micro and AP Macro, so he knows exactly where introductory students get tripped up on topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of fiscal versus monetary policy. Rated 5.0 by his students.

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.
