Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

Luis
10th Grade Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a student at Miami Dade College, and I aim to transfer into Florida International University. I am pursuing a Bachelors degree in Physics and Philosophy, and more specifically Applied Physics and Philosophy of Science. Throughout my academic career I have increasingly become amazed at and passionate about the fundamental studies in the scientific field, such as pure mathematics, physics and chemistry. I tutored many of my classmates during my high school years and eventually became know as "the neighborhood tutor". Immediately after high school i began to tutor privately and have been doing so for two years. Aside from my own independent tutoring, I have worked as a math tutor in a separate tutoring company as well as a Physics assistant in my college where I helped various groups of students with college physics one and two.I have always found it a wonderful experience to introduce or develop a student's understanding of what I consider an exciting and unique perspective of the beautiful world around us. Aside from my primary interest in most science and math courses, I also have become rather adept with writing both explanatory and narrative essays. I hold education to be an intrinsic part of human existence-Humans are meant to learn. For this reason, I believe that teaching is really an internal process that happens within all of us, and my job as a tutor is only to act as a facilitator and catalyst to the powerful potential that exists within all people. Outside of my academic life, i enjoy playing the occasional game of soccer, jamming out on my trumpet, and practicing public speaking skills in both controlled and spontaneous settings.

Kelsey
AP Biology Tutor • +10 Subjects
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at Texas Tech University. Currently, I am striving towards my Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy at Johns Hopkins University, and will be obtaining my degree in May of 2022. Being a student myself, I am excellent at pinpointing what each learner needs to succeed. I was a former educator at a community college focusing on biology and microbiology. This college had multiple early college high school programs in place, therefore I have taught at the high school and college level. Prior to that, I was a group tutor for honors biology (known as a supplemental instructor), in which I created review packets and held sessions for the students. More than halfway through my advanced graduate program, I feel confident in my ability to stretch my teaching skills past biology and microbiology, into environmental science as well!The foundation of my teaching philosophy is to be patient and motivational. I encourage students to take their time and we can always attempt different learning methods or routes until the student truly understands the concept. I focus on reiterating concepts, drawing images and writing helpful key words on the whiteboard, and asking the student questions throughout the lesson to ensure they are grasping the material.I would love to help you succeed!
Eugene
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a tutor because of all of the great tutors that influenced me throughout my academic career. I was always a good student, but I believe that the tutors that have been in my life helped me to become an outstanding student and tutor. With their help, I was able to finish high school at the top of my class and go on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in English from Emory University. I am currently studying at Morehouse School of Medicine located in Atlanta, GA.My tutoring experience began in high school where I tutored students and my peers in all subjects ranging from phonics to calculus. Throughout college, I continued to tutor students from elementary school all the way up to those in college. After graduating college, I worked with a professional tutoring company for two years where I learned a variety of different tutoring techniques to apply to different learning styles. I have experience tutoring a variety of different subjects such as biology, chemistry, English (both language and literature), and multiple levels of math (pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus). My ultimate goal as a tutor is to have students truly understand a concept and then to move ahead.I have embraced the idea that learning is a different experience for everyone. For some, it takes no time at all, while for others it is an extremely difficult task. All in all learning takes effort. With this idea in mind, my tutoring methods are extremely flexible to meet the need of every student that I come into contact with. At the end of the day, the student should feel a sense of understanding that they did not have before. I strongly believe that learning should be a fun experience so that what you learn sticks with you.Aside from being a tutor, I am a huge sports fanatic, especially football (both college and professional)—Go DAWGS & Go FALCONS! I also have a passion for cars. I am an amateur figure skater and love to read & shop during my free time. The thing that I value the most is my family. I believe in going after your dreams and doing all that you can to achieve your goals; and I truly believe that education is one of the most valuable tools you can have.
Laney
College English Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because I am passionate about people of all ages gaining knowledge. My experience working with students is varied because I am a substitute teacher and I am also a current student. I got my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education at Miami Dade College. I am currently working on my Bachelor's degree in Applied Linguistics at Ashford University. I tutor English and Literature, they have always been my favorite subjects. I was a volunteer for Laubach Literacy and I am an advocate for reading. My mentors in education are Maria Montessori, John Dewey, and Margaret Mead. I admire their innovative techniques and the changes they made to education. I like to discover a students learning style and work with them in a way that makes them most comfortable, engaged, and motivated. Outside of academia I am interested in travel, the arts, and I am a voracious reader. I have traveled extensively and enjoy working with people from other places. I have been a volunteer, primarily working with children, and been advocating for them for decades. I spent the majority of time in shelters and as a Guardian Ad Litem. I live a healthy life which includes a focus on nutrition, daily exercise, Qigong and daily meditation. These keep my life balanced while I maintain an active life. I have embraced the TED talk by Rita Pierson. I tell students what they did right, not what they did wrong.
Kimesha
Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
As a biology teacher, I have 5+ years of experience teaching a diverse population of students. Most of which are students with exceptionalities. I have spent most of my time in the general education classroom setting but my experience and diverse teaching styles have allowed me to thrive in both classroom settings. By creating lessons that truly support differentiation, I have been able to cater to the diverse abilities of all students in classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically struggle most with aggregate demand and supply (AD/AS) models, understanding how monetary and fiscal policy interact with the broader economy, and grasping the nuances of inflation versus deflation. Phillips Curve relationships and the distinction between short-run and long-run economic equilibrium also trip up many students. A tutor can break down these abstract concepts with real-world examples—like how Federal Reserve interest rate decisions ripple through employment and inflation—making the connections between theory and practice much clearer.
Graph mastery is essential for AP Macro success, and many students struggle with shifting curves versus moving along curves, especially with AD/AS, money market, and loanable funds diagrams. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach: identify what variable changed, determine which curve shifts (if any), and trace through the new equilibrium to predict effects on price level, output, and interest rates. Practice drawing the same graphs repeatedly with different scenarios builds muscle memory, and tutors can provide targeted feedback on common mistakes like incorrect shift directions or misidentified equilibrium points.
Policy analysis requires a step-by-step framework: identify the policy tool (tax changes, spending, open market operations, etc.), predict the immediate effect on money supply or aggregate demand, then trace through to final outcomes on output, employment, and inflation. Many students rush and miss secondary effects or confuse contractionary policy with recession. A tutor can teach you to work through practice Free Response Questions methodically, showing how to earn full credit by explaining each link in the causal chain and using appropriate graphs to support your reasoning.
The multiple-choice section (60 questions, 70 minutes) rewards quick graph recognition and understanding cause-and-effect relationships, while the Free Response section (3 questions, 60 minutes) demands clear written explanations and properly labeled diagrams. Many students excel at identifying correct answers but struggle to articulate their reasoning in writing. A tutor can help you develop efficient note-taking strategies for FRQs, practice explaining your logic concisely, and learn to allocate time wisely—typically 15-20 minutes per FRQ to allow time for drawing and labeling graphs accurately.
AP Macro tests your ability to see how monetary policy affects interest rates, which influences investment and aggregate demand, which shifts the AD/AS model—and tutors excel at helping you map these connections. Many students memorize individual topics in isolation but freeze when asked to explain how a central bank rate hike affects unemployment six months later. A tutor can use concept maps, real historical examples (like the 2008 financial crisis or pandemic stimulus), and cumulative practice problems to show how supply shocks, policy responses, and international trade all interact within one coherent economic system.
The top mistakes include forgetting to label axes and curves on graphs (instant point loss), confusing correlation with causation, providing incomplete explanations of mechanisms, and misidentifying which variables change in equilibrium. Students often draw correct graphs but fail to explicitly state the effect on price level, output, or unemployment—the rubric requires both the graph AND the written explanation. A tutor can have you practice past FRQs with actual AP rubrics, giving you feedback on exactly which points you're earning or missing, and teaching you the precise vocabulary and explanation style that graders reward.
The 70-minute multiple-choice section averages about 70 seconds per question, but many students spend too long on difficult conceptual questions early on and rush through FRQs at the end. A tutor can help you develop a strategy: scan all MC questions first to identify quick wins, flag harder ones to return to, and allocate your FRQ time strategically—spending a minute reading and planning before you draw graphs ensures your diagrams directly answer the question. Timed practice tests under realistic conditions, followed by review of where you lost time, reveal your personal pacing weaknesses and build confidence in your timing decisions.
Score gains depend on your starting point and effort, but students who work with a tutor on systematic concept review, graph mastery, and FRQ practice typically improve 1-2 score points (on the 1-5 scale) over a semester. A student scoring 2-3 who commits to weekly tutoring and consistent practice can realistically reach a 3-4 by exam day; moving from 3 to 5 requires deeper mastery of policy interactions and synthesis across units. The biggest gains come from identifying your specific weak spots—whether it's graph interpretation, policy mechanism reasoning, or time management—and targeting those areas intensively rather than broad review.
