Award-Winning Economics Tutors
serving Madison, WI

Supply and demand is just the starting point — the real challenge in economics is understanding how incentives ripple through markets, governments, and individual decisions. Maddy's economics coursework at Vanderbilt gives her a working fluency with concepts like opportunity cost, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium that she translates into clear, intuitive explanations.

Breanna's background isn't in economics specifically, but her statistics and math teaching experience means she's comfortable with the quantitative side — interpreting supply and demand graphs, calculating elasticity, or working through the algebra behind equilibrium models. Her counseling training also gives her a sharp read on where a student's confusion actually lives, so she can adjust explanations on the fly rather than repeating the same approach louder.

I'm fluent in R, Python, SQL, and M (MUMPS). This September I will be pursuing a Master's degree in data science. I'm available to tutor GRE, ACT, and SAT math as well as other math, statistics, and economics subjects. Although I am most passionate about math, I'm also happy to help students with general testing strategies and preparation for the other parts of the standardized exams.

I'm now living in New York City pursuing a career in casting and producing theater. Although I have found my passion in the arts, I find great fulfillment tutoring math and science, because I think it's important for students to know they can succeed in these challenging subjects. I seek to develop an individual learning plan for each student, discovering the tools that will best help them succeed. My previous private tutoring clients have gone on to graduate at the top of their class. In addition, I am also an experienced SAT and ACT prep tutor.

Double-majoring in economics and international relations at Tufts meant Mark studied microeconomic and macroeconomic theory alongside the geopolitical forces that shape trade agreements, sanctions, and development — giving him a built-in habit of connecting models like comparative advantage or exchange rate dynamics to actual global events. Heading to Duke Law this fall adds a policy dimension, since he's already thinking about how legal frameworks and economic incentives interact. Rated 4.9 by his students.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but economics gets slippery once you hit elasticity, market failures, or GDP accounting. George tackles these concepts through his finance and accounting training at the Wisconsin School of Business, where economic theory isn't abstract — it's the foundation for real financial decisions. He connects models to concrete scenarios so the logic clicks rather than just the formulas.

Two internships at major accounting firms — CLA and Forvis — gave Aubriana a front-row seat to how economic forces like tax policy, interest rates, and market cycles shape actual business decisions. She uses that practical lens when teaching topics like supply and demand or fiscal policy, tying textbook models back to the financial realities she's seen in audit and tax work. Rated 5.0 by her students.

Ian studied economics formally and uses that training to teach the subject the way it actually works: as a framework for analyzing tradeoffs, incentives, and unintended consequences. He covers both micro and macro foundations — supply and demand, market structures, national income accounting — and emphasizes graph interpretation and free-response writing, since those are where most students lose points on exams.

Supply and demand curves are simple enough on the surface, but Economics gets tricky when students have to apply elasticity, market structures, or GDP accounting to unfamiliar scenarios. Josh's business administration degree with an actuarial focus means he learned economics through a quantitative, real-world lens — and that's how he teaches it.

Supply and demand curves are straightforward until students have to apply them — analyzing price ceilings, tax incidence, or shifts in aggregate demand on an exam. Raechal connects each economic model to real-world scenarios so the graphs and terminology make intuitive sense, not just textbook sense.

At its core, economics is about modeling how systems behave under constraints — which is exactly what Brendan does every day as a mechanical engineering student at Marquette. He explains supply and demand, opportunity cost, and market equilibrium by grounding abstract theory in concrete, real-world examples that stick.

I am pursuing a Math/Stats & Computer Science B.A. at Carleton College. I love learning and helping others learn, and I live for those "ah-ha!" moments, both the ones I experience myself and those I experience through others.

I am currently studying at Northwestern University, on the track to a Bachelor of Arts in Statistics with a double major in Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences, which is just a fancy way of saying math-based economics, and a minor in Legal Studies as well as Marketing. After my undergraduate studies, I plan on working in consulting for a few years before attending law school. Finally, I hope to combine my law studies with my consulting work to become a well-rounded corporate lawyer. At Northwestern, I provide SAT tutoring to Chicago-area juniors and seniors. In high school, I tutored third through fifth graders in basic reading and writing skills and developed their interpersonal skills through group crafts and teamwork activities. While I am open to tutoring a broad range of subjects and tests, I am most passionate about Math, Statistics, Economics, and US History. In my experience helping students prepare for the SAT, I have found that interactive activities and group work really help! I am a firm believer in the work-hard-play-hard mindset and find it to be absolutely necessary for a balanced lifestyle, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. While I encourage my students to keep up with their studies and work hard, I also believe that studying needs to be balanced out with interests and fun.

Studying finance at UGA means Vignesh works with economic concepts as living inputs — interest rates, market structures, consumer behavior — not just textbook diagrams, since his coursework requires applying micro and macro reasoning to actual corporate and investment decisions. He also teaches AP Micro and AP Macro, so he knows exactly where introductory students get tripped up on topics like elasticity, market failures, and the mechanics of fiscal versus monetary policy. Rated 5.0 by his students.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As an economics major at Dartmouth, Mia engages with concepts like market equilibrium, elasticity, and game theory on a daily basis. She unpacks the intuition behind graphs and models so that supply-and-demand curves and GDP calculations actually make sense instead of feeling like abstract formulas to memorize.

Supply-and-demand curves are intuitive until externalities, elasticity, and market failures enter the picture. Dalila's quantitative background as a math major means she can walk through the graphical and algebraic reasoning behind economic models — not just label the axes, but explain why the curves shift and what the equilibrium actually means.

Studying economics at Dartmouth with a computational emphasis, Eric digs into both the theoretical models and the real-world data that test them. He's particularly effective at unpacking concepts like elasticity, comparative advantage, and market equilibrium — translating the math into plain-language reasoning that sticks.

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.

Supply and demand curves are straightforward until you layer in elasticity, market failures, and government intervention — then economics gets interesting. Eliza earned her economics degree from Penn and tackles concepts like comparative advantage and marginal analysis by tying them to real-world examples students actually recognize, from streaming service pricing to minimum wage debates.

Monetary policy, banking systems, and market behavior aren't abstractions to Cole — they were the focus of his cum laude master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches economics by grounding theory in current events, so students see how supply-and-demand diagrams or GDP calculations connect to headlines they've actually read. Rated 5.0 by students.
