Jared
Current Undergrad, Finance Brigham Young University-Provo
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying finance at BYU means Jared lives inside economic thinking daily — working through how interest rates ripple into investment decisions, how firms respond to changing cost structures, and how macro indicators like GDP and unemployment actually connect to business strategy. That finance lens is particularly useful for making microeconomic concepts like marginal analysis and market pricing feel less theoretical and more like tools students will actually use. Rated 5.0 by his students.

Jared
Current Undergrad, Pre-Information Systems Brigham Young University-Provo
1+ Years Tutoring

I am from Nashville, Tennessee but have lived in seven different states all over the U.S. I currently attend Brigham Young University and am loving it. I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I get with people when I tutor. Watching people really understand and be excited about learning is what makes it worthwhile for me. The key is to spark the fun and excitement of learning within the student. I have tutored primarily middle and high school students but am comfortable with any age. I tutor many subjects, but am especially proficient in the areas of test preparation, math, and Spanish. I took several AP classes, was on the honor roll, and was blessed to receive a full-tuition National Merit scholarship for college. I currently have an open major but am leaning toward a degree in finance or information systems. I am fluent in Spanish thanks to a two-year mission for my church. Because of this I am now part of a Hispanic volunteer group helping children learn to read more fluently. I played rugby and football, and I love doing things outdoors, whether it be hiking, going to the lake, skiing, or backpacking. I have also traveled to many parts of the world and enjoy having new experiences and learning about other cultures.

Matthew
Current Undergrad, Undecided Brigham Young University-Provo
10+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are deceptively simple until students have to apply them to market failures, elasticity calculations, or policy analysis. Matthew tackles economics by grounding each concept in concrete examples before layering on the graphical and mathematical reasoning. He's comfortable moving between micro and macro topics, which is especially useful for students in survey-level econ courses.

Sarah
BA Northwestern University
9+ Years Tutoring

As an economics major at Northwestern, Sarah digs into the same core principles — scarcity, opportunity cost, market equilibrium, elasticity — that introductory students encounter for the first time. She translates abstract models into concrete examples, making supply-and-demand curves and production possibilities frontiers feel intuitive rather than mechanical.

Benjamin
BA University of Notre Dame
5+ Years Tutoring

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but the real challenge is applying them — shifting curves correctly, interpreting elasticity, or reasoning through market failures. Benjamin's Economics degree from Notre Dame gave him deep fluency with both micro and macro frameworks, and he teaches students to think through cause-and-effect chains rather than memorize graph shapes.

1+ Years Tutoring

Environmental Science and Public Policy intersects constantly with economics — cost-benefit analysis, externalities, market failures, trade policy.

Peter
BA Cornell University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Economics requires students to think abstractly about systems, incentives, and trade-offs—concepts that don't always feel intuitive at first. Many students struggle with graphing and interpreting supply-demand curves, understanding macroeconomic indicators, or connecting real-world events to economic principles. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down these complex ideas into digestible pieces, allowing tutors to identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and rebuild from there.

Provo's four school districts—including Provo City School District and Alpine School District—may emphasize different aspects of Economics based on their curriculum frameworks and grade levels. Some focus heavily on microeconomics and personal finance, while others prioritize macroeconomic concepts and current events analysis. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors familiar with local curriculum standards, ensuring instruction aligns with what your student is learning in class and what they'll see on assessments.

The first session is diagnostic and collaborative. Your tutor will assess your student's current understanding of key Economics concepts, identify specific areas of difficulty (whether it's supply-demand analysis, economic systems, or data interpretation), and discuss learning goals. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan that targets your student's exact needs rather than generic review.

In a classroom with a 19.6:1 student-teacher ratio, it's difficult for teachers to address individual misconceptions or adjust pacing to each student's learning speed. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors can spend extra time on confusing concepts like elasticity or GDP calculations, use multiple explanations until something clicks, and practice problem-solving at your student's actual level. This targeted approach typically leads to faster skill development and deeper conceptual understanding.

Economics is typically taught in high school (grades 10-12), though some advanced middle school students may encounter introductory concepts. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in standard high school Economics, AP Economics (both Micro and Macro), and IB Economics. Whether your student needs foundational support or is preparing for an AP exam, personalized instruction can be tailored to the specific course and difficulty level.

Strong Economics tutors use current events, personal finance scenarios, and local examples to make abstract concepts concrete. Instead of just memorizing that inflation affects purchasing power, a student might explore how inflation impacts their family's grocery budget or analyze a recent business decision through an economic lens. This application-focused approach deepens understanding and helps students see why Economics matters beyond the classroom.

Results depend on starting point and frequency, but students typically see noticeable improvement in test scores, assignment grades, and conceptual confidence within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. Many students move from struggling with graph interpretation or economic reasoning to confidently analyzing complex scenarios. The key is regular practice with immediate feedback—something personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides far more effectively than classroom settings.

Varsity Tutors matches you with expert tutors based on your student's specific needs, learning style, and goals. When you connect with us, share details about what your student struggles with, their grade level, and whether they're preparing for a specific exam or just need support in class. We'll help you get matched with a tutor experienced in Economics instruction who can provide personalized, effective support.
