"Hiya! I’m Tanner, and I have a master’s in economics with a focus on labor and public economics and applied statistics. I was a TA for 3 years during grad school and have been tutoring for nearly 2 years since. My fundamental approach to education is to help my students build a real understanding through application. So many courses, teachers, professors out there believe that a simple demonstration is enough for students. I’ve spent hundreds of hours of my life listening to people recite lecture notes and the value gained over just skimming them myself tends to be marginal at best. It always frustrated me that professors rarely if ever discuss the useful tools, math tricks, and patterns to look for when making your way from setup to solution.
My teaching focuses on the tips and tricks, the patterns, and the intuition of how to solve problems, not just a list of answers. It is my goal to ensure that my students are the best prepared not only for this week’s homework or the upcoming test, but for the next chapter, the final, the next course. Teaching my students how to approach and solve problems, instead of just showing them some work and a solution, means that not only will they have an easier time acing their finals and entry exams, they’ll see results across the board.
Business and Economics:
A majority of my teaching has been in economics coursework. I’ve taught everything from intro level courses to advanced undergraduate and early grad school field specific work. I’ve lectured and been a teaching assistant for various introductory and intermediate micro and macroeconomics courses, and I regularly tutor international trade, advanced macro, game theory and labor, public and urban economics. If you have any other economics coursework that you’re not sure is covered by the above, feel free to send me a sample of your lecture notes or a homework question and I’ll take a look and see what I can do for you.
Math and Statistics:
As per math tutoring, most of my students come to me for applied statist" less...
