"I discovered my passion for teaching economics by helping students break through those challenging "aha!" moments in intermediate microeconomics. With a PhD in Economics and over a decade of teaching experience, I've learned that mastering economics requires clear methods and practice. My approach was inspired by watching the NASA team in Apollo 13 - when faced with dangerous CO2 levels, they solved a complex problem using simple tools. Similarly, I believe in breaking down complex economic concepts into manageable steps using clear explanations. My teaching excellence has been recognized with a teaching award, grants for innovative teaching methods, and commendations from student organizations. Throughout my years of teaching thousands of students, I've developed a deep understanding of where students typically struggle and how to help them succeed. I've found that working through problems using a document camera to show my real-time problem-solving process helps students grasp the material.

My background in economic dynamics, risk and uncertainty, and industrial organization allows me to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications. I particularly enjoy sharing insights from the history of economic thought - whether it's Cournot's work on oligopoly, or Hicks's consumer theory. Understanding these contributions helps students see how economic thinking evolved. I'm committed to your success beyond our tutoring sessions, providing ongoing support through messaging to ensure you get help when you need it. During our sessions, we focus on active learning through hands-on problem solving, with practice problems that build your analytical skills. My experience has shown that consistent practice with feedback leads to the best results. Whether you're aiming to improve your grade or develop a deeper understanding of economics, I'm here to help you achieve your goals through practice, clear explanations, and continuous support. I look forward to helping you succeed in your economics journey." less...
