Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Memphis, TN

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

Leanna's Cognitive Science degree at Vanderbilt included rigorous coursework in behavioral economics and decision-making theory — the psychology behind why people respond to incentives, misjudge risk, and deviate from what classical models predict. She pairs that behavioral lens with her business studies to teach micro and macro concepts, making topics like consumer choice and market failures feel grounded in how people actually think. Rated 4.9 by students.

Pursuing a PhD in economics after Vanderbilt means Jacob is deep in the weeds of economic thinking right now — working through the same micro and macro frameworks his students are encountering for the first time. His math double-study sharpens how he teaches the quantitative side, especially when courses pivot from intuitive concepts like comparative advantage into the graph-and-equation work that defines intermediate micro. Rated 5.0 by his students.

Pursuing a PhD in Economics at Vanderbilt means Zeeshan is deep in the weeds of economic research right now — actively working with the models, data, and theoretical frameworks that undergrad and high school students are encountering for the first time. His public policy master's from the University of Maryland adds a applied dimension, especially when it comes to unpacking how government intervention, market failures, and incentive structures play out in actual policy debates. That combination of current academic immersion and policy training lets him teach microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts with unusual depth and relevance.

Grant earned his bachelor's degree in Economics, which means concepts like supply and demand curves, GDP calculation, and monetary policy aren't abstract textbook ideas — they're frameworks he's internalized and can explain from multiple angles. He connects economic theory to real-world markets and current events so the logic behind models actually clicks. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — economics gets interesting when students apply models to real markets, trade policy, or financial crises. Ryan's business administration background, including his current MBA work at Vanderbilt, means he can connect textbook concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and monetary policy to actual business decisions and global events.

Currently pursuing an Economics major at the University of Michigan, Monitha breaks down concepts like supply-and-demand shifts, elasticity, and market structures using real-world examples that make the logic behind models click. Her coursework in data science also means she can walk students through the graphs and quantitative reasoning that often trip people up in introductory econ courses. Rated 5.0 by students.

An MBA and JD give Matthew an unusual lens on economics — he sees supply and demand curves not as abstract graphs but as the logic behind real contracts, regulations, and business decisions. He breaks down concepts like elasticity, market equilibrium, and comparative advantage by tying them to concrete scenarios students can actually reason through.

I am currently a Junior at The University of Alabama pursuing degrees in both Mathematics & Economics. After I graduate, I intend to stay at Alabama to get an M.A. in Economics. I have been tutoring both Math and ACT Prep since I was a Sophomore in High School. After 4 years of experience, I continue to enjoy tutoring these subjects, and the constant challenge of improving my abilities and techniques. I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping those I tutor improve their grades, test scores, and overall understanding of the subjects I am teaching them. Not only do I focus on the subject matter being taught, but I also focus on helping students develop the study skills and habits that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style to fit each individual student.

Jorge is finishing his economics degree at UCF while covering both micro and macro — so topics like fiscal policy, market structures, and opportunity cost are part of his daily coursework, not distant memories. His background living and studying abroad adds a practical dimension when tackling international trade concepts or comparing economic systems across countries. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying accounting at Baylor means Jason lives inside the numbers that economic models produce — balance sheets, cost structures, tax implications — so he naturally anchors concepts like supply and demand or market efficiency in the financial mechanics that drive them. His experience tutoring and mentoring middle and high school students in Waco keeps him sharp at breaking down introductory topics like opportunity cost and trade-offs for learners encountering economic thinking for the first time.

I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt working toward a major in neuroscience with minors in chemistry and psychology. I was born and raised in Nashville, so middle Tennessee is definitely home for me. My main area of focus for tutoring is ACT Prep; however, Im proficient in many maths and sciences as well as grammar mechanics. In high school I took many ACT Prep classes and tutors. Because of my familiarity with the test, I have high confidence in my ability to drastically elevate my student's ACT scores.

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.

Natalie's Health Care Management minor at Penn exposed her to microeconomic principles like supply and demand, cost-benefit analysis, and market structures — all through the lens of real industries. She breaks down economic models by connecting them to concrete examples students can actually picture, whether it's pricing decisions or how incentives shape behavior.

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.

Jake's marketing degree means he studied the demand side of economics firsthand — consumer behavior, pricing strategy, and how firms respond to market signals are concepts he's applied, not just memorized. His strong quantitative background (he tutors AP Statistics and both AP Calculus courses) lets him handle the graphing and algebraic reasoning that economics problems demand when students move past definitions into actual analysis. Rated 4.9 by his students.

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.

As an economics major at Duke, Eric tackles everything from supply-and-demand fundamentals to more advanced topics like game theory, market structures, and macroeconomic policy. He connects abstract models to real-world examples that make concepts like elasticity or comparative advantage intuitive rather than formulaic. Rated 5.0 by students.

Applying to PhD programs in applied mathematics means Romeo lives in the quantitative world that most economics students find intimidating — the calculus behind marginal analysis, the optimization problems in consumer and producer theory, the statistical models that underpin econometric reasoning. His math degree and 1510 SAT give him the analytical toolkit to break down the equations hiding inside economic concepts, making the transition from intuitive supply-and-demand reasoning to formal modeling feel far less daunting.

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.

Harvard's Public Policy curriculum gave Alyssa a rigorous grounding in micro and macroeconomic theory — supply and demand modeling, market failures, fiscal policy analysis — that she now breaks down for students tackling college-level econ. She connects abstract concepts like elasticity and comparative advantage to real policy debates, making the material click rather than just survive on a formula sheet.

Physics training builds a specific habit that transfers directly to economics: modeling complex systems with graphs, equations, and simplifying assumptions. Avram's three physics degrees mean he's deeply practiced at translating real-world behavior into formal models — exactly the skill students need when working through supply-and-demand curves, elasticity calculations, or equilibrium analysis.

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.

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.
