Shreya
AP Statistics Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am currently a student at Yale University. I'm a prospective Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology major on the pre-med track. Throughout high school, I have tutored students in a vast variety of subjects through National Honors Society. I have also worked with ESL students through Spanish Honors Society. As a college student, I have taught various interactive science subjects to New Haven elementary students over zoom as part of the Demos organization. In addition to academic subjects, I have also privately tutored students in violin. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and English. In my experience, helping students prepare for Standardized Tests and classroom subjects is the most rewarding. It's unforgettable to see a student's tangible progress, and to help them conquer their difficulties!!
Mason
AP Statistics Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Political Science. During this time, I was a tutor for the Departments of Economics and Mathematics, where I gained a passion for seeing the "click" of knowledge, where information becomes made personal. Since graduation, I have have been pursuing my Master of Public Administration at the University of Kansas. My career mission is to work in City Management, applying math, social sciences, communication, and other fields to serve the public in a multidisciplinary manner. I am a firm believer in being a well-around, global citizen, so that entails being moderately versed in many fields of study. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics, Math, and Standardized Testing. I believe that education is the path to an enlightened life, so I look forward to joining you on that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, film/television, stand-up comedy, and playing/watching all sports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level. Students who work consistently with a tutor often see gains of 1-2 points on the AP scale (out of 5), though some improve more dramatically if they're addressing fundamental concept gaps. The key is identifying which topics—like elasticity, consumer surplus, or market structures—are holding you back, then building mastery through targeted practice.
Most students benefit from starting tutoring 8-12 weeks before the exam, which gives enough time to cover weak areas, practice full-length exams, and refine test-taking strategies without feeling rushed.
Three concepts trip up most students: understanding elasticity and its real-world applications, mastering the different market structures (perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly), and connecting graphs to economic reasoning. Many students can memorize that price and quantity move in opposite directions but struggle to explain why or apply that logic to new scenarios.
Timing is another challenge—the multiple-choice section requires quick analysis of graphs and scenarios, and students often spend too long on difficult questions instead of moving forward. A strong tutor helps you recognize question patterns, build intuition with real examples, and develop pacing strategies.
The best tutors combine deep content knowledge with the ability to explain complex ideas simply. Look for someone who can break down abstract concepts like deadweight loss or comparative advantage into relatable examples, and who understands the specific AP exam format—including how to interpret those dense graphs and multi-part questions.
Your tutor should also be able to diagnose your weak spots quickly, customize their approach based on how you learn best, and give you feedback on practice problems that goes beyond "right" or "wrong." Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have proven success helping students master AP Microeconomics material and improve their exam performance.
Aim for 4-6 full-length, timed practice tests in the final 6-8 weeks before the exam. Taking them under actual exam conditions—80 minutes with no breaks or notes—helps you get comfortable with pacing and reduces test-day anxiety. After each test, review every question you missed or felt uncertain about, not just the ones you got wrong.
Your tutor can help you identify patterns in your mistakes: Are you misreading questions? Struggling with specific topics? Running out of time? This targeted analysis is far more valuable than just taking test after test. Most official College Board materials and review books provide quality practice questions to work with.
Graph literacy is essential—the AP exam heavily features supply and demand curves, cost curves, and market structure diagrams. The key is understanding what each curve represents and why it shifts, not just memorizing its shape. Practice drawing graphs from scratch multiple times per week, and label every axis, curve, and point of interest.
When analyzing an exam question with a graph, always ask: What shifted and why? What's the new equilibrium? How does this affect consumer or producer surplus? A tutor can walk you through the logic behind common graph scenarios and help you spot the tricks exam writers use, like distinguishing between movement along a curve versus a shift of the entire curve.
Most students benefit from 5-7 hours of study per week starting 8-10 weeks before the exam. Break this into focused sessions: 2-3 hours reviewing content and working through textbook problems, 2-3 hours on practice questions and past exam material, and 1-2 hours on full-length practice tests (these are typically done every 1-2 weeks as you get closer).
In the final 2-3 weeks, shift toward review and practice tests rather than learning new material. Work with your tutor to adjust this timeline based on your starting level and problem areas—if you're weak on elasticity, you might need more weeks dedicated to that unit specifically.
Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or unsure of your approach. Combat this by taking regular practice tests so the exam format feels familiar, not scary. When you sit for the actual exam, remember that every student finds some questions hard—you don't need a perfect score to earn a 5. On test day, if you hit a tough question, skip it, answer the easier ones first, then return with fresh eyes.
A tutor can help build your confidence by showing you that you understand more than you think. Work through practice problems, review your successes, and develop a personal strategy for managing time and staying calm. Many students find it helpful to review their strongest topics the night before the exam to build momentum.
