Award-Winning Microeconomics Tutors
serving Milwaukee, WI

Elasticity, consumer surplus, and game theory matrices all click faster when a student understands the intuition behind the math. Ian unpacks microeconomic models by first asking what problem each one solves — why firms price-discriminate, how externalities create market failure — and then shows how the graphs and equations formalize that logic. His economics background means the explanations go well beyond textbook definitions.

The math behind microeconomics — setting up Lagrangians for constrained optimization, deriving demand from utility functions, finding equilibrium prices algebraically — is where most students hit a wall. Thomas's math and stats training at Carleton means he can teach both the economic intuition and the calculus simultaneously, so a concept like profit maximization isn't just "set MC equal to MR" but a problem a student can actually solve and interpret. Rated 5.0 by students.

Supply and demand curves are just the beginning — microeconomics gets interesting when students tackle elasticity, market structures, and game theory. Josh's actuarial science and business background means he can ground abstract models like consumer surplus and producer behavior in real market data. He connects the math behind optimization problems to the economic intuition that makes them click.

Marginal analysis, consumer and producer surplus, and the logic behind different market structures all require careful, step-by-step reasoning. Brendan's engineering background means he's comfortable dissecting these models mathematically and visually, turning intimidating graphs into clear stories about how firms and consumers actually make decisions.

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.

I am studying Economics and Business with a Spanish minor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Spanish for elementary and middle school students. I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate of Tufts University, with majors in economics and international relations, and will be attending Duke Law School in the fall. I have experience tutoring a variety of ACT and AP subjects, as well as working with students on reading comprehension and writing skills. Whether you need to cram for an upcoming test or want to improve your general academic abilities, I'm here to help!

Elasticity, consumer surplus, market structures, deadweight loss — microeconomics is full of concepts that seem intuitive until you're asked to graph them or solve for equilibrium mathematically. Hans pairs his Northwestern economics training with a knack for walking through the algebra behind the graphs, making sure students understand both the visual and quantitative sides of each model. He holds a 5.0 rating.

As an economics major at Dartmouth, Eric studies microeconomic models — game theory, firm pricing strategies, consumer optimization — with the formal rigor of a top program, not just a survey-level overview. His strong quantitative background (1520 SAT, heavy calculus coursework) means he can walk through the math behind indifference curves or profit maximization while keeping the economic intuition front and center. Rated 5.0 by students.

At UCLA, Christopher studied economics with a double major that gave him both the quantitative models and the historical context behind how markets actually develop — useful when explaining why perfectly competitive markets rarely exist or how government intervention reshapes incentive structures. His time at Deutsche Bank adds a practical dimension to topics like firm pricing behavior and cost analysis, since he's seen how businesses weigh marginal decisions with real money on the line.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — microeconomics gets interesting when students tackle consumer theory, elasticity, and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition. Katherine's economics degree from Penn and her day job in management consulting mean she can ground these models in real business decisions, making abstract graphs feel intuitive.

Jake's marketing degree gives him a practical angle on microeconomic concepts — he's studied how firms actually respond to price elasticity, how consumers weigh marginal utility in purchasing decisions, and why market structures shape advertising strategy. That real-world grounding makes abstract models like profit maximization and cost curves feel less like graph exercises and more like tools businesses use every day. Rated 4.9 by students.

Cole's master's thesis at the University of Amsterdam focused on monetary policy and banking — work that required building up from micro-level foundations like how individual banks optimize lending decisions and how interest rate changes ripple through firm behavior. That research depth means he can teach concepts like price discrimination, cost minimization, and strategic interaction with the kind of precision that comes from having used them analytically, not just memorized them for an exam. Rated 5.0 by students.

The jump from supply-and-demand basics to producer theory and game theory is where most micro students struggle. Shih digs into the math behind indifference curves, cost minimization, and Nash equilibria, drawing on his finance coursework at UGA to show how these models map onto real firm decisions and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition.

Supply and demand curves are just the starting point — the real challenge in microeconomics is applying them to consumer theory, production costs, and market structures like oligopoly and monopolistic competition. Ezra's economics degree gives him deep fluency with these models, and his finance background means he can connect textbook graphs to actual pricing and strategy decisions students find intuitive.

Running a startup means David lives microeconomic decision-making — pricing strategy, cost structures, how competitive dynamics actually play out when you're the one making the calls. His UChicago MBA and economics degree give him the formal modeling toolkit to back up that practical instinct, so he can teach concepts like price discrimination or game theory with concrete examples from real business operations.

Mary's PhD in Chemistry from the University of Chicago means she spent years doing the kind of constrained optimization and quantitative modeling that microeconomics relies on — minimizing costs, maximizing outputs, interpreting how variables shift on a graph. She pairs that analytical rigor with MBA coursework that gave her direct exposure to firm behavior, pricing strategy, and market dynamics. It's a combination that lets her teach both the calculus behind profit maximization and the business logic that makes it meaningful.

Supply and demand curves are intuitive until you hit market failures, game theory, and the math behind consumer optimization — that's where microeconomics gets interesting and where most students need a push. Mosab teaches AP Microeconomics with an emphasis on connecting graphical analysis to the underlying logic, so students can tackle free-response questions with real confidence rather than memorized diagrams.

Cognitive science trained Amanda to think about how people make decisions under constraints — which is essentially what microeconomics formalizes with models of consumer choice, firm behavior, and resource allocation. She breaks down the reasoning behind concepts like utility maximization and market equilibria by connecting them to the decision-making frameworks she studied at Northwestern, making the abstract logic behind the graphs feel grounded and intuitive.
