I will be attending the University of Florida pursuing a degree in finance. I have been tutoring students for four years now. I have tutored 6-12th graders in subject in various math subjects, however, I am most passionate about statistics. I like to teach my students by encouraging my students to go above and beyond their work. I also encourage my students to discover the opportunities they can gain by becoming more knowledgeable in math. In my spare time, I enjoy being on the boat and playing basketball.

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

Hello Prospective Students!I was very lucky as a kid because my parents never held me back and they always helped me exceed expectations in all subject matters. I understand the value of private tutoring because my parents provided me with tutors whenever I needed it.As a result, I did extremely well on My SHSAT and attended the Bronx H.S of Science. With the help of my parents and tutors I was able to do very well on my SAT's and gain acceptance to some of the toughest Undergraduate institutions NYC had to offer (NYU, Macaulay Honors College,etc).Most recently I graduated a top-ranked MBA program, and am ready to give back some of the knowledge I have gained throughout the years to those that need it.Currently I am an Adjunct at CUNY Queens College,teaching Mathematics to graduate and undergraduate students. I also tutor High School students (all Math Regents exams, and Math SAT) and Junior High School students for the SHSAT math section.My hobbies include basketball, soccer, and Judo. Throughout High School I was nationally ranked in the sport of Judo and was an Academic All-American.I have competed nationally and internationally for the United States and have placed at tournaments such as the Junior Pan American games.I know what it takes to be a champion both on and off the mat. I am confident that I can help your children exceed their goals in the field of mathematics!

I began my tutoring experience by working at a summer school as a teacher's assistant. It was a camp I attended as a child, and the reason I decided to work there was that one of my favorite teachers was teaching. I used the opportunity not just to teach, but to learn more under the wing of a great woman. After two summers, I went to college and volunteered for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. There I was partnered with a fourth grader named Jashawn, we worked together on homework assignments and review, but I like to think he learned a little more than what was just prescribed in his curriculum. Finally, this previous year I have spent every Saturday working at the Saturday Academy, a program through our school's Upward Bound initiative. I tutor a group of students in AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, as well as college prep. I want to be able to teach you the information, not just walk you through problems. My approach may take longer, but I promise it is worth every second to truly understand a topic.My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Algebra. I have been working with and using Calculus and Algebra for my entire academic career, as well as taking supplemental courses on both in my free time. The reason I want to tutor and love to tutor is because I come from a family of educators, and the most influential person in my life was a teacher. Teachers have always been people I love, respect and look up to, so tutoring is my way of hopefully inspiring people just as much if not more than I was.

In May 2018, I will graduate Summa Cum Laude from Kent State University with a Bachelor's degree in the Science of Education, allowing me to teach mathematics grades 7 to 12. I am also a member of Kent State's Honors College and Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most prestigious honor society of liberal arts and science. Since a young age, I knew that I wanted to help other people, but I wasn't sure how. I found teaching to be the best route for me after helping many of my peers in their study.My interest include hanging out with my friends and family, playing video games, and keeping up on current events.

Frequently Asked Questions
While AP Macroeconomics is typically a high school course, advanced 6th graders with strong analytical skills and interest in economics can absolutely benefit from early exposure. Starting early allows students to build foundational economic thinking before tackling the full AP curriculum in high school, develop critical analytical habits, and gain confidence with complex concepts. A tutor can tailor the content to match your student's maturity level while introducing key economic principles at an accelerated pace.
The main hurdles include understanding abstract economic concepts (supply and demand, inflation, GDP) without real-world context, learning new vocabulary and economic models, and applying mathematical reasoning to economic problems. Additionally, 6th graders may struggle with the AP exam's multiple-choice timing and the need to analyze graphs and interpret complex passages. Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps by breaking complex ideas into digestible pieces, connecting concepts to relatable examples, and building test-taking confidence through practice.
The ideal tutor understands both advanced economics content and how to teach it to younger students—they should simplify without oversimplifying, use real-world examples, and adapt their teaching style to your child's learning pace. They should also be familiar with AP exam structure and question formats, skilled at identifying knowledge gaps, and able to build your student's confidence alongside their understanding. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in economics instruction and have experience working with advanced learners across grade levels.
Results vary based on starting point and effort, but students typically see meaningful improvement in both conceptual understanding and exam readiness within a few months of consistent tutoring. Many students move from struggling with basic concepts to confidently applying economic models and analyzing complex scenarios. The AP Macro exam is scored 1-5, and personalized instruction helps students move up score bands by reinforcing weak areas, teaching effective test-taking strategies, and building the analytical muscle they need to interpret real-world economic situations on exam day.
For accelerated 6th graders, one to two sessions per week is typically effective for building foundational understanding and confidence. As exam preparation intensifies, some students benefit from additional sessions closer to test day. The right frequency depends on your student's current level, learning pace, and whether they're preparing for the AP exam or building advanced skills. A tutor can recommend a customized schedule and adjust it as your student progresses through the curriculum.
Practice tests are essential for AP Macro success. They help students get comfortable with the exam format, build timing skills (the exam allows just over a minute per multiple-choice question), identify content gaps, and reduce test anxiety through familiarity. Most effective study plans include regular full-length practice exams, scored and reviewed with a tutor, so students can understand where they lost points and how to improve. This targeted feedback is where tutoring adds the most value—a tutor helps interpret results and address weak areas strategically.
AP Macro relies heavily on visual representation of economic concepts—supply and demand curves, Phillips curves, production possibility frontiers, and more. Students often struggle because they need to both understand what the graph represents and interpret shifts, movements, and relationships quickly. Graphing skills require practice translating between words, equations, and visual models. Tutors excel at breaking down these connections: they show why a graph moves the way it does, help students predict outcomes before seeing the graph, and build pattern recognition so the exam's visual problems feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
