Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am comfortable with either setting. I'm confident that I can help you (or your student) achieve to the best of their ability, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Matthew
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!

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

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with supply and demand curve analysis, elasticity calculations, and understanding how to shift curves correctly based on market changes. Consumer and producer surplus concepts also trip up many students because they require visualizing areas on graphs and connecting them to real economic outcomes. Additionally, the transition from basic economic principles to more complex topics like monopolistic competition and game theory often requires personalized support to build conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing definitions.
Graph literacy is critical in AP Microeconomics—the exam heavily tests your ability to identify which curve shifts, predict new equilibrium points, and calculate changes in surplus. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach: first identify what variable changed, then determine which curve shifts and in which direction, and finally trace the new equilibrium. Practice with real-world scenarios (like a tax on gasoline or a minimum wage increase) helps connect abstract graphs to actual economic events, making the concepts stick and improving your confidence on test day.
The AP exam is 2 hours 10 minutes total: 60 minutes for 60 multiple-choice questions (1 minute per question) and 70 minutes for 3 free-response questions. The FRQ section requires you to analyze economic scenarios, draw graphs, and explain your reasoning—so time management is crucial. Many students rush through multiple choice and run out of time for FRQs, where you can earn partial credit. A tutor can help you practice pacing strategies and teach you how to structure FRQ answers to maximize points, even under time pressure.
Start by taking a full practice test under timed conditions to pinpoint which topics cost you the most points—whether that's perfect competition vs. monopolies, cost curves, or factor markets. A tutor can analyze your practice test results to spot patterns: Are you missing conceptual questions or calculation-based ones? Do you struggle with certain graph types? Once you identify your specific gaps, targeted practice on those topics is far more efficient than reviewing everything. Regular practice tests throughout your prep help track improvement and build test-taking stamina.
FRQs typically ask you to analyze a scenario, draw relevant graphs, and explain economic outcomes—so read the question carefully to identify what's being asked before you start drawing. A strong approach is to sketch your graph first, label everything clearly (axes, curves, equilibrium points), then write your explanation referencing specific areas on your graph. Graders award points for correct graphs and clear reasoning, so even if your analysis isn't perfect, showing your work earns partial credit. Tutors can teach you common FRQ patterns and help you practice structuring responses that hit all the grading rubric points.
Elasticity and marginal cost/revenue calculations are frequent sources of errors because students rush or misapply formulas. The key is to slow down, write out each formula step, and double-check your setup before calculating—especially for price elasticity of demand, which requires careful attention to whether you're using percentage change or the midpoint method. Cost curve problems (like finding where MC = MR for profit maximization) require organizing data clearly in a table format so you can spot patterns. A tutor can walk you through these problem types systematically, helping you build accuracy and confidence so you don't lose points on questions you actually understand conceptually.
AP Microeconomics questions often use real scenarios—labor markets, agricultural pricing, tech monopolies—to test whether you can apply concepts, not just define them. When you understand that elasticity explains why concert tickets are expensive or why farmers struggle with volatile crop prices, the concepts become memorable and easier to recall under exam pressure. Tutors often use current events and familiar industries to illustrate supply shocks, price controls, and market structures, which helps you build mental models you can draw on during the test. This approach transforms microeconomics from abstract theory into a framework for understanding the economy around you.
Many students panic on multiple choice because they're unsure about answers or spend too long on difficult questions, leaving no time for FRQs where they can earn more points. Effective strategies include: skip questions you're unsure about on first pass, come back to them if time allows; use 45 minutes for MC and reserve 70 minutes for FRQs; and practice under timed conditions regularly to build comfort with the pace. A tutor can help you develop a pre-exam routine, teach you breathing techniques to manage anxiety, and give you realistic feedback on practice tests so you know exactly where you stand—reducing uncertainty and building confidence going into test day.
