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.

Amy

College English Tutor • +13 Subjects

I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.

Anna

ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects

I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.

Catherine

Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects

Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.

Maria

ACT Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Denison University. I am currently pursuing an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University. I've been a college-level teaching assistant for both introductory biology and general chemistry. Besides chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring for test prep (ACT and MCAT) because I view these types of tests to be a collection of puzzles to solve. It's a lot of fun helping students to figure out the logic behind these puzzles and apply it broadly, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this integration of knowledge translate to a high score. When working with students, I like to challenge them to identify the purpose of the problem or question and what underlying reasoning can be applied broadly in future questions. In doing so, students gain more long-term usable skills and the ability to think independently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Graduate Economics students often find econometrics and advanced statistical methods challenging—particularly understanding when to apply different regression models, interpreting coefficient significance, and avoiding common pitfalls like multicollinearity or endogeneity bias. Beyond econometrics, many struggle with microeconomic theory at the graduate level, especially general equilibrium models, game theory applications, and the mathematical proofs required to understand why certain market structures produce specific outcomes. Macroeconomic modeling, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models, and the transition from intuitive supply-and-demand thinking to rigorous mathematical frameworks also trip up many students who need to connect theory to real policy implications.

Mathematical rigor is essential in graduate-level economics—you'll need solid calculus, linear algebra, and increasingly, real analysis to understand proofs and derivations that underpin economic theory. Many students enter graduate programs with gaps in these areas and struggle not because they lack economic intuition, but because they can't follow the mathematical arguments or set up optimization problems correctly. A tutor experienced in graduate economics can help you either strengthen foundational math skills or learn to translate economic concepts into the mathematical language required, ensuring you understand the logic behind models rather than just memorizing equations.

Graduate economics emphasizes moving beyond textbook models to understand their limitations and real-world applications—for example, recognizing when perfect competition assumptions break down in markets with information asymmetries, or how behavioral economics challenges rational actor models. Tutors can help you practice translating between abstract theory (like Walrasian equilibrium) and concrete scenarios (analyzing labor market discrimination, pricing strategies in oligopolies, or monetary policy transmission mechanisms). Working through problem sets that require you to identify which theoretical framework applies to a specific situation, then defend your choice with evidence, builds the analytical thinking that separates graduate-level economics from undergraduate coursework.

Graduate econometrics requires understanding not just how to run regressions, but when each method is appropriate and what assumptions you're making—ordinary least squares (OLS) versus instrumental variables (IV), difference-in-differences designs, propensity score matching, and causal inference techniques each solve different problems. Many students can execute commands in statistical software but struggle to diagnose violations (heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, simultaneity bias) or interpret results meaningfully. Effective tutoring involves working through real datasets, identifying econometric challenges specific to your research question, and learning to critique both your own work and published papers for methodological soundness—skills essential for thesis work and professional research roles.

Comprehensive exams typically require you to synthesize micro, macro, and econometrics knowledge under time pressure while demonstrating both technical mastery and the ability to think critically about economic problems. Effective preparation involves moving beyond memorizing models to practicing essay questions that ask you to compare frameworks (e.g., how Keynesian and New Classical approaches differ in policy implications), apply theory to novel scenarios, and defend your analytical choices. A tutor can help you develop a structured study plan, practice writing timed responses that balance rigor with clarity, identify gaps in your understanding before the exam, and learn to communicate complex ideas concisely—all critical skills for passing exams that test whether you're ready for independent research.

Yes—tutors experienced in graduate economics can support thesis work by helping you refine your research question, select appropriate econometric methods for your data and hypothesis, troubleshoot empirical results that don't match expectations, and strengthen the theoretical framework connecting your analysis to existing literature. They can also help you think through causal identification strategies, interpret robustness checks, and articulate why your findings matter beyond the specific dataset. This kind of support is particularly valuable when you're navigating the gap between coursework and original research, where you need both technical problem-solving and conceptual clarity about what your results actually tell us about economic behavior or policy outcomes.

Look for tutors with advanced training in economics (master's degree or PhD) who can demonstrate expertise in the specific areas you need—econometrics, microeconomic theory, macroeconomic modeling, or applied fields like labor economics or industrial organization. Beyond credentials, strong Graduate Economics tutors understand common conceptual misconceptions, can explain why certain approaches work or fail, and have experience with the software and datasets used in research (Stata, R, Python, or similar). They should be able to work at the level of rigor your program requires, help you read and critique academic papers critically, and bridge the gap between abstract theory and empirical practice—not just review problem sets, but help you develop the independent analytical thinking that graduate economics demands.

If you're struggling with foundational concepts—understanding why profit-maximizing firms set marginal cost equal to marginal revenue, or how to set up constrained optimization problems—tutoring focuses on building intuition through examples and diagrams before diving into mathematical proofs. For advanced topics like DSGE models or causal inference methods, tutoring shifts toward working through technical papers, debugging code, interpreting complex results, and learning to evaluate the strengths and limitations of different approaches. A tutor can assess where your gaps actually are (sometimes students think they don't understand theory when they're really missing mathematical tools, or vice versa) and target support accordingly, whether that means strengthening prerequisites or pushing you to engage with cutting-edge research methods.
