Award-Winning Microeconomics Tutors
serving Philadelphia, PA

Indifference curves, marginal utility, and producer surplus can feel like a pile of disconnected graphs until someone shows you the thread running through them. Patrick's economics degree gave him deep fluency with microeconomic reasoning, and he walks students through each model step by step — from setting up the optimization problem to interpreting what the answer actually means in a market context.

Howdy! My name's Joey, I love all things music and tech as well as hitting the gym. I hold degrees in mechanical and aerosapce engineering as well as scientific computing from the University of Glasgow and University of Pennsylvania. I've been an instructor and TA at both institutions and I greatly enjoy sharing knowledge!

Supply and demand curves, elasticity, and consumer surplus can feel like abstract puzzles until a student sees how they explain everyday pricing decisions. Walter approaches microeconomics by connecting each model to concrete scenarios — why concert tickets get scalped, how minimum wage affects local hiring — drawing on his social studies teaching instincts to make the graphs meaningful.

A math degree means Alex can handle the calculus-heavy side of microeconomics — constrained optimization, deriving demand functions, working through Lagrangians for utility maximization — but his economics and macroeconomics teaching keeps him grounded in the intuition behind those tools. He unpacks why a firm's cost structure leads to specific pricing behavior, connecting the algebra to the economic story so students aren't just solving for x without knowing what x means.

Mary's PhD in Chemistry from the University of Chicago means she spent years doing the kind of constrained optimization and quantitative modeling that microeconomics relies on — minimizing costs, maximizing outputs, interpreting how variables shift on a graph. She pairs that analytical rigor with MBA coursework that gave her direct exposure to firm behavior, pricing strategy, and market dynamics. It's a combination that lets her teach both the calculus behind profit maximization and the business logic that makes it meaningful.

I'm a graduate of Robert Morris University where I earned my BSBA in Economics and Finance. After graduating from RMU I attended Johns Hopkins University where I earned my MA in Applied Economics. My interests lie in the fields of banking, energy, healthcare, and public policy.

Running his own financial planning firm for nearly a decade meant Daniel watched microeconomic principles play out in real time — how clients responded to price changes, how small businesses navigated cost structures, and why incentive misalignment could sink a deal. His Master's in Public Policy, focused on energy markets, adds another layer: he teaches concepts like externalities, market failures, and price elasticity through the lens of industries where those forces have measurable, high-stakes consequences.

The jump from understanding a basic supply-and-demand graph to analyzing consumer surplus, deadweight loss, and firm behavior in different market structures trips up a lot of students. Shua studied these models extensively during his economics degree and breaks them down by walking through the intuition behind each curve before touching any math. That approach turns intimidating problem sets into logical step-by-step exercises.

As an applied economics major at Tufts, Lauren digs into microeconomic models — supply and demand curves, elasticity, market structures, game theory — with the analytical rigor her coursework demands. She breaks down graphs and mathematical relationships so students understand the intuition behind concepts like consumer surplus and deadweight loss, not just how to label a diagram.

I'm a college student at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. I am in my junior year of a computer science degree. Outside of classes, I work as a college tour guide, IT technician, and camp counselor. I love working with young people to plan for and achieve success, especially as it pertains to test and college prep. I have been working with young people from an early age, at summer camps, church groups, and as a part of my college's admissions department. I am ready to adapt to every student's unique learning styles and habits, and I hope to see my work inspire a boost in performance and confidence for many.

I am a West Chester East High School class of 2015 alumni. I currently attend Boston College, majoring in Economics and Mathematics. I am very excited for the opportunity to tutor and help students with their academics. I have a history of tutoring in my high school and look forward to furthering my tutoring career by helping as many students as I can.

I am a current undergraduate student at Temple University majoring in Mathematical Economics and minoring in Finance. I have over a year of professional tutoring experience, and I am certified to tutor a wide range of subjects in mathematics, economics, and test prep.

Andrew's Labor and Industrial Relations degree at Cornell covers significant microeconomic ground — labor markets, wage determination, firm behavior under different bargaining structures — giving him a practical lens on concepts like supply and demand, market power, and efficiency. He teaches students to think through how incentives shape decisions at the individual and firm level, grounding abstract models in the kind of real-world labor and industry examples that make the logic click. Rated 4.9 by students.

With an applied math degree and PhD-level engineering work, Professor Florence tackles microeconomics from a deeply quantitative angle — the kind that makes optimization problems, constrained utility maximization, and cost function analysis feel like natural extensions of calculus rather than foreign territory. She teaches the mathematical machinery behind economic models so students understand what they're solving, not just how to push symbols around on an exam.

Elasticity, marginal cost curves, market structures, welfare analysis — microeconomics is built on deceptively simple ideas that get complicated fast. Stephen's PhD research at Rice and his current teaching at Fordham keep him immersed in exactly these concepts, and his market research career means he can show students how firms actually use pricing strategy and cost analysis outside the classroom.

Cole's master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam focused on monetary policy and banking — work that required building up from micro-level foundations like how individual banks optimize lending decisions and how interest rate changes ripple through firm behavior. That research depth means he can teach concepts like price discrimination, cost minimization, and strategic interaction with the kind of precision that comes from having used them analytically, not just memorized them for an exam. Rated 5.0 by students.

Consumer choice theory, production functions, and game theory matrices each demand a slightly different way of thinking — and that's where most micro students get stuck. Albert tackles each framework on its own terms, drawing on his MBA economics training to show why firms price-discriminate, how externalities distort market outcomes, and what happens when you shift from perfect competition to oligopoly.

Supply and demand curves are just the entry point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying them to problems involving market structures, consumer choice, and externalities. Adi's economics training means he can walk through the intuition behind utility maximization or Nash equilibrium without losing students in the math, or without skipping it entirely.

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.

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.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — microeconomics gets interesting when students tackle consumer theory, elasticity, and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition. Katherine's economics degree from Penn and her day job in management consulting mean she can ground these models in real business decisions, making abstract graphs feel intuitive.

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.

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.

Running a SaaS company means living microeconomics daily — pricing strategies, marginal cost decisions, and reading market signals in real time. John brings that operational lens to concepts like elasticity, consumer surplus, and game theory, making abstract models feel like tools rather than textbook exercises. Rated 5.0 by students.
