Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Nashville, 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jack earned his economics degree at Northwestern, where he studied everything from game theory to monetary policy in both micro and macro contexts. He connects abstract models — supply and demand curves, GDP calculations, elasticity — to real-world scenarios that make the reasoning behind each graph intuitive rather than mechanical.

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.

Studying economics at Penn while simultaneously completing a music degree meant Katherine had to internalize models quickly — there wasn't time to passively reread chapters on elasticity or game theory when rehearsals and problem sets competed for the same hours. That efficiency now shows up in her tutoring, where she zeroes in on the specific graph, equation, or intuition a student is missing and builds understanding from there. Her 1550 SAT speaks to the analytical sharpness she brings to quantitative econ topics.

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.

After spending years on Wall Street analyzing markets, industries, and financial data as a research executive, Frank brings an insider's understanding of how macroeconomic forces — interest rates, inflation, trade dynamics — actually ripple through real institutions. His MBA sharpens that perspective, letting him connect textbook models of supply, demand, and market structure to the strategic decisions he made professionally.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
