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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
Co-authoring a published policy article for US News and World Report required Gary to translate economic data into clear, defensible arguments — exactly the skill economics courses demand. He tackles supply-and-demand analysis, market structures, and cost-benefit reasoning by grounding each concept in the political and policy contexts where these ideas actually get applied.
Rithi's quantitative backbone — a neuroscience degree, a master's in biotechnology, and deep coursework in statistics and calculus — means she can tackle the math-heavy side of economics that often catches students off guard, like working through elasticity calculations, interpreting cost curves, or setting up optimization problems. Her 4.9 rating speaks to an ability to make that quantitative reasoning feel approachable even for students who came in expecting a purely conceptual course.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Studying sociology at the University of Chicago means Zo is constantly analyzing how institutions, incentives, and inequality shape human behavior — which is essentially what economics does through a quantitative lens. That social-science fluency makes her especially sharp on topics like market failures, externalities, and the distributional questions that come up in both micro and macro courses. Rated 5.0 by her students.
Shreya's AP Micro and AP Macro teaching experience means she knows exactly where students get tripped up — confusing movement along a curve with a shift, or mixing up fiscal and monetary policy tools. Her molecular biology coursework at Yale loaded her schedule with statistics and quantitative reasoning, so she's comfortable walking through the graphs and mathematical models that make economics click. Rated 5.0 by her students.
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Economics requires students to think abstractly about systems, incentives, and trade-offs—skills that don't always come naturally in a classroom setting. Many students struggle with graphing supply and demand curves, understanding macroeconomic concepts like inflation and GDP, or applying economic principles to real-world scenarios. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify whether a student needs to strengthen foundational math skills, clarify conceptual misunderstandings, or develop better problem-solving strategies.
Wisconsin's social studies standards emphasize economic literacy, critical thinking about markets, and understanding how economic systems affect individuals and communities. Tutors work with students across different grade levels—from introductory economics in middle school to AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics in high school. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand Wisconsin's expectations and can help students master both foundational concepts and advanced topics needed for college-level work.
The first session focuses on understanding where your student is starting from—their comfort level with key concepts, any specific challenges they're facing, and their goals (whether that's improving a grade, preparing for an exam, or building deeper understanding). The tutor will assess foundational skills like reading graphs, understanding supply and demand, or working with economic data, then create a personalized plan to address gaps and build confidence.
Graphs are the language of Economics—from supply and demand curves to Phillips curves and production possibilities frontiers. Many students struggle to interpret what a graph shows, predict how it will shift, or explain the economic reasoning behind it. Personalized instruction breaks down graph reading step-by-step, uses practice problems to build fluency, and helps students connect visual representations to the underlying economic concepts they represent.
Yes. AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics require students to master both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills, and the exams test their ability to apply economic reasoning to unfamiliar scenarios. Tutors can help students work through released exam questions, identify patterns in what the College Board tests, develop test-taking strategies, and fill in knowledge gaps before exam day. Many students see measurable score improvements with focused, targeted preparation.
In a classroom with a 20.5:1 student-teacher ratio, instruction moves at a set pace regardless of individual needs. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to slow down on concepts that aren't clicking, spend extra time on problem areas, and accelerate through material your student already understands. This flexibility means your student gets exactly the explanation style and practice they need, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Economics becomes much more meaningful when students see it in action—whether that's understanding inflation's impact on their family's budget, analyzing labor market trends in Wisconsin, or evaluating trade-offs in policy decisions. Tutors connect abstract concepts to current events, local examples, and situations relevant to your student's life, which deepens understanding and makes the subject feel more relevant and engaging.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong Economics backgrounds—whether that's a degree in Economics, business, finance, or related fields, plus demonstrated teaching ability. Tutors understand both high school Economics curricula and college-level material, and they know how to explain complex concepts clearly. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can help students build real understanding, not just memorize definitions.
