Alphonse
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +9 Subjects
I started my journey while in high school, I took my first anatomy and physiology class and discovered that I wanted a career that would allow me to work with the human body. I was mostly interested in dentistry and orthodontics until I hurt my back in an offseason football workout. After I went to my Chiropractor I realized the importance of the structure of the spine and the function of the central nervous system. While in college I was named captain of our rugby team and enjoyed helping other learn and work together. I was a teacher assistant for an anatomy and physiology class during my time at Fairfield University. I continued my passion of helping others while at Palmer College of Chiropractic where I tutored the first quarter students in general anatomy where I aided them in understanding the anatomy with the use of cadavers. A short while later I was named the president of a chiropractic technique club called: Gonstead Technique. I plan on using my experience and knowledge to help others reach their goals and full potential.
Jordan
Adult Literacy Tutor • +38 Subjects
Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

Juan
10th Grade Math Tutor • +40 Subjects
I began working as a tutor in High School as part of the Math Club, and then continued in college in a part time position, where I helped students in College Algebra, Statistics, Calculus and Programming. After college I moved to Spain where I gave private test prep lessons to high school students and also helped friends prepare for their college entrance exams. By using my broad background in these subjects I can help students see concepts in different ways, and by enthusiastically approaching problems I can help increase the student’s interest.When I am not working or studying for Actuarial Exams, I play guitar, exercise and write computer programs.

Amanda
American Literature Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a third-year law student at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and will be working as at attorney at a large corporate law firm when I graduate. I completed my undergraduate degree at NYU, double majoring in journalism and dramatic literature.I am passionate about education, specifically reading and writing, and believe my enthusiasm, organization and professionalism would make me an asset to your company.In law school, I was selected by a professor to be a teaching assistant for a Legal Writing course for 16 first-year students. I attended weekly classes, often providing input and co-teaching several classes. I also held weekly office hours, where I met with students individually and in small groups to help with their assignments, including working on their writing style and structure. In addition, I reviewed and edited students’ assignments, providing individualized feedback and advice.As a Constitutional Law teaching assistant, I co-taught weekly review sessions of over 75 students, where I explained and reviewed course material. I reviewed practice problems, coached students on proper study and reading strategies, and answered questions. I quickly learned best practices to keep all of the students engaged and focused, encouraging student participation and leading class discussions.I also volunteered with iMentor, providing one-on-one support to two high school freshman through online communication and in-person meetings. I provided structure and motivation, helping my mentees plan their future college and career goals, as well as study strategies and day-to-day organization. Working closely with my two mentees, I determined their individual communication and learning styles, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and used this knowledge to tailor our sessions to best meet their needs.Finally, in high school, I tutored elementary school students in math and reading comprehension, helping with homework and assignment organization. I understand that every student has different academic, emotional and social needs and I am confident in my ability to help each student reach his or her potential.

Logan
ACT English Tutor • +15 Subjects
My goal as a tutor is not just to help students learn new material, but also to help them understand how to learn, study, and teach themselves things that they are having trouble with. This is something I struggled with throughout my academic career, and only through years of practice was I able to figure out new tricks and methods for teaching myself new material. I want to save this time and effort for all my students so that they can get to learning. I received a BA in Economics from Northwestern University, and just graduated in June 2016, and will tutor for Economics, the SAT, and the ACT. My interests outside of schooling include basketball and psychology!

Frequently Asked Questions
The biggest challenge areas for 10th graders are typically elasticity concepts (price, income, and cross-price elasticity) and understanding how they apply to real-world scenarios, plus the transition from supply-and-demand graphs to more complex market structures like monopolistic competition and oligopoly. Many students also struggle with consumer and producer surplus calculations, distinguishing between different types of costs (marginal vs. average vs. fixed), and connecting game theory concepts to strategic business decisions. A tutor experienced with AP Micro can identify which of these concepts are causing confusion and break them down with targeted practice.
Graphs are central to AP Microeconomics—the exam expects you to read shifts in supply and demand curves, identify equilibrium changes, and understand how price ceilings or taxes affect market outcomes. Tutors can teach you a systematic approach: identify what's on each axis, determine what's shifting and why, predict the direction of change, and then explain the economic reasoning behind it. Regular practice with different graph scenarios (monopolies, perfectly competitive markets, externalities) builds the visual literacy you need to quickly interpret unfamiliar graphs on test day without second-guessing yourself.
The AP Micro exam has 60 multiple-choice questions in 70 minutes (about 1 minute per question) and 3 free-response questions in 50 minutes. A tutor can help you develop a strategy: spend 45-50 seconds on straightforward multiple-choice questions to build a buffer for harder ones, skip and return to questions that feel ambiguous, and allocate your FRQ time by working through the easiest part of each question first (usually graphing or identifying concepts) before tackling the more complex analysis. Practice tests under timed conditions are essential—they reveal where you're losing time and help you build confidence in your pacing.
FRQs typically ask you to analyze a scenario using multiple concepts—for example, explaining how a price floor affects consumer surplus, producer surplus, and deadweight loss, then comparing it to a tax. The key is to structure your answer clearly: define the concept being tested, draw or reference the relevant graph, show the calculation or change, and explain the economic reasoning. Tutors emphasize reading the question carefully (often there are 4-5 parts), answering each part separately, and using proper economic vocabulary—graders reward precision. Practice writing full FRQ responses under time pressure helps you develop the habit of organizing your thoughts quickly and thoroughly.
Elasticity is abstract—it's not just a formula, but a way of thinking about how responsive quantity demanded or supplied is to price changes. Students often memorize the formula but miss that elasticity determines real outcomes: a good with elastic demand (like luxury items) sees quantity drop significantly when price rises, while inelastic goods (like insulin) see minimal quantity change. Tutors help by connecting elasticity to business decisions (why does a concert venue raise prices when demand is inelastic?) and government policy (why do taxes on inelastic goods generate more revenue?). Working through multiple real-world examples makes the concept stick.
These four market structures have distinct characteristics—number of firms, barriers to entry, product differentiation, and pricing power—that determine profit outcomes and efficiency. Students often confuse them because they look similar on graphs. A tutor breaks this down systematically: in perfect competition, firms are price-takers earning zero economic profit in the long run; in monopolistic competition, firms differentiate products but still earn zero profit long-term; oligopolies involve strategic interdependence (game theory); and monopolies have barriers to entry allowing sustained profits. Practice problems that ask you to identify the market structure from a description, then predict price, quantity, and profit outcomes, solidifies these distinctions.
A tutor can help you build a personalized timeline based on when you're taking the exam. Ideally, start 8-10 weeks before the test: spend the first 4-5 weeks mastering foundational topics (supply and demand, elasticity, consumer choice) with weekly practice problems, then move to market structures and applications. In weeks 6-8, take full-length practice tests every 1-2 weeks and review mistakes carefully—this reveals patterns in what you're missing. The final 2 weeks focus on weak areas and test-taking strategies. Consistent, spaced practice (rather than cramming) builds the automaticity you need to interpret graphs and apply concepts quickly on exam day.
Test anxiety in AP Micro often stems from uncertainty about interpreting graphs or applying concepts under pressure. Tutors build confidence through repeated exposure to different question types and scenarios—when you've seen 50 variations of "how does a tax affect equilibrium," the question format no longer feels threatening. They also teach you to slow down and use a systematic approach (identify the market structure, draw the graph, find the new equilibrium, explain the outcome) rather than rushing to an answer. Practicing full exams under timed conditions, reviewing what you got right, and celebrating progress helps you walk into test day knowing you've prepared thoroughly for what to expect.
