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.

Miles teaches across a wide range of subjects — from math and science to history and writing — which means he can show students how economic concepts like scarcity, trade-offs, and incentive structures connect to the disciplines where they actually matter. That cross-subject fluency is particularly useful for students who grasp ideas better through real examples than through isolated models. Rated 5.0 by his students.
Supply and demand curves, elasticity, GDP calculations — economics clicks once you stop treating it as abstract theory and start seeing it as a framework for real decisions. Helaman's business administration background means he can connect microeconomic and macroeconomic principles to concrete scenarios like pricing strategy and market competition, making the logic behind each model tangible.
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.
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.
I am certain that everyone has gifts waiting to be uncovered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Caltech's economics program is heavily quantitative — Brian's coursework there meant building economic models with real calculus and statistical tools, not just sketching supply-and-demand curves. His computer science double major adds a computational edge that's particularly useful for students tackling game theory, optimization problems, or any econ course where the math suddenly gets serious. His 1580 SAT reflects the kind of analytical precision he brings to breaking down dense material.
Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — Dawn digs into the mechanics of market equilibrium, elasticity, monetary policy, and game theory that make economics click at the college level. Her B.S. in Economics with a finance concentration from Duke means she can connect textbook models to how markets actually behave.
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 economics at Penn means Alessia encounters supply-and-demand models, game theory, and macroeconomic policy debates in her own coursework every week. That real-time engagement with the material makes her especially effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and IS-LM analysis — she explains them the way she just learned to think about them, not from distant memory.
As a Cornell economics major, Tameem is still immersed in the coursework — working through the same models, problem sets, and exam formats that students are currently facing. That proximity to the material makes him particularly sharp on the foundational concepts that drive intro and high school economics, like how shifts in aggregate demand connect to unemployment and inflation or why price elasticity changes a firm's revenue strategy.
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.
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.

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 understanding supply and demand curves, grasping opportunity cost, or connecting economic theory to real-world scenarios. With Salt Lake City's diverse economy spanning healthcare, technology, and education sectors, personalized tutoring can help students see how these principles apply locally and build genuine understanding rather than memorizing formulas.
Economics is typically taught as a semester course in Utah high schools, covering microeconomics and macroeconomics fundamentals. Tutors work with students on Utah's core standards, including understanding economic systems, consumer and producer behavior, and fiscal policy. Whether your student is in a standard Economics course or AP Economics, personalized instruction ensures they master both the conceptual foundations and the analytical skills needed for assessments.
The first session is focused on understanding your student's current level, learning goals, and specific challenges—whether that's graphing skills, understanding macroeconomic concepts, or preparing for the AP exam. The tutor will assess which topics need the most attention and develop a personalized plan. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds efficiently toward measurable improvement.
In a classroom of 20+ students, teachers must move at an average pace—leaving some students behind and others unchallenged. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to slow down on difficult concepts like elasticity or inflation, use real examples relevant to your student's interests, and adjust explanations until the concept truly clicks. This targeted approach typically accelerates understanding and confidence in ways group instruction cannot match.
Yes. AP Economics (both Micro and Macro) requires strong conceptual understanding and the ability to apply economic principles to complex scenarios. Tutors help students master the core units, practice free-response questions, analyze graphs and data, and develop test-taking strategies. With personalized instruction, students can focus on their weaker units rather than reviewing material they already know.
Understanding economics is much more meaningful when students see it in action. Tutors can use examples from Salt Lake City's economy—like how tech companies compete for talent, how housing prices reflect supply and demand, or how local businesses respond to inflation—to make abstract concepts concrete. This approach not only deepens understanding but also helps students see why Economics matters beyond the classroom.
Pricing varies based on the tutor's experience and your student's needs, and we can provide specific options after understanding your situation. Most students see meaningful improvement—better grades, stronger conceptual understanding, increased confidence—within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on starting level and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who work within your budget and schedule.
