I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with supply and demand curve analysis—especially understanding how shifts versus movements along curves affect equilibrium price and quantity. Elasticity concepts also challenge many students because they require both mathematical calculation and intuitive understanding of consumer behavior. Additionally, macroeconomic topics like aggregate demand and supply, monetary policy mechanisms, and the relationship between inflation and unemployment often feel abstract without concrete real-world connections. A tutor can break these down using specific examples (like how gas price changes affect driving habits) to make the theory stick.
The AP Economics exam consists of two sections: a 60-minute multiple-choice section (50 questions) and a 50-minute free-response section (3 questions). The multiple-choice tests breadth across all units, while the free-response questions often require you to draw graphs, identify economic concepts, and explain cause-and-effect relationships. Many students underestimate the time pressure—you have roughly 72 seconds per multiple-choice question. A tutor can help you develop a pacing strategy, practice reading questions carefully to avoid traps, and master graph interpretation, which appears heavily on both sections.
Graphs in AP Economics require you to understand not just how to draw them, but what they represent economically—the difference between a movement along a demand curve versus a shift of the entire curve, or how to read a Phillips Curve to understand inflation-unemployment tradeoffs. Students often memorize graph shapes without grasping the underlying logic, leading to mistakes when questions ask them to predict what happens when conditions change. Tutors help by teaching you to think through the economic reasoning first ("What causes demand to increase?"), then translate that into the correct graph movement, rather than just pattern-matching.
Free-response questions typically ask you to identify an economic concept, draw a relevant graph, and explain the impact—often in 3-4 parts. The key is reading the question carefully to identify exactly what's being asked (e.g., "explain how this policy affects the money supply" versus "explain how this policy affects interest rates"). Start by labeling your graph clearly and identifying the relevant curves, then write concise explanations linking the graph to economic principles. Tutors can walk you through practice FRQs, showing you how to earn all available points by addressing each part explicitly and avoiding common errors like unlabeled axes or incomplete explanations.
AP Economics is typically taught in two halves: Microeconomics (Units 1-3: supply/demand, elasticity, production costs, market structures) and Macroeconomics (Units 4-6: national income, inflation/unemployment, monetary/fiscal policy). Early mastery of micro fundamentals—especially supply and demand—is critical because macro concepts build on that foundation. Many students rush through micro and struggle later when they can't connect macro policy changes back to individual market behavior. A tutor can help you identify gaps early (especially in elasticity or cost analysis) and reinforce those before moving to macro, ensuring you don't fall behind when concepts get more abstract.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency. Students who begin with shaky fundamentals (struggling with basic supply/demand or cost concepts) often see the biggest gains—sometimes 2-3 points on the 5-point scale—by solidifying those foundations and practicing FRQs. Students already scoring 3s can reach 4s or 5s by mastering test-taking strategy, learning to avoid careless errors on multiple-choice, and earning full points on free-response through precise explanations. Realistic timelines: expect 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring (1-2 sessions weekly) to address major gaps, with continued improvement through practice tests and targeted review closer to exam day.
AP Economics anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared for the graph section or worrying you'll forget key concepts under pressure. The best antidote is familiarity—practicing with actual AP exam questions and timed conditions builds confidence because you've seen the question formats before. Tutors can help by doing timed practice tests with you, reviewing what went wrong without judgment, and teaching you to manage pacing (e.g., skip a tough multiple-choice question and return to it rather than panicking). They can also help you develop a pre-exam routine and teach you strategies like reading questions twice to catch what's actually being asked, which reduces careless errors that fuel anxiety.
A strong AP Economics tutor understands not just the content, but how students typically misunderstand it—knowing that many students confuse "shortage" with "low price" or struggle to connect monetary policy to real-world outcomes. They should be able to draw and explain graphs clearly, walk you through practice FRQs showing exactly how to earn points, and help you develop a personal study strategy based on your weak areas. They should also be familiar with the specific exam format and question types, able to teach test-taking strategies like process of elimination for multiple-choice, and patient enough to explain abstract concepts like opportunity cost or comparative advantage through concrete examples until they click.
