Lisa
Arithmetic Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Hope International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. I am applying for Graduate School this summer, so I can further my education in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. My passion is listening to and working with children; and, I hope to become the kind of therapist that families, including our soldiers and veterans, will come to when they need help. While I have been working on my education, I have spent the last several years as a para-educator teaching children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program at an elementary school. I also edit and tutor writing composition for individual clients in middle school and high school using APA and MLA formats, focusing on good research methods, proper citing, and correct bibliography and reference pages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and test prep. I've always felt a great joy when my students experience their "aha" moment. They have just received something that belongs to them for the rest of their lives - knowledge. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be the key to a high quality of life; and, I try to impart this appreciation to my students by being a good role model, since I am also a student. I teach good work ethics, responsibility, and accountability so my students will not only gain an education, they will be productive and dependable adults one day. I love spending time with my teenager, swimming, drawing, volunteering for Feed The Children and Save Our Beaches. One of our goals is to create the best mac 'n cheese "known to man."

Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects
I received my B.S. in Biology from Villanova University in May of 2012. Throughout my four years of undergraduate college, I tutored hundreds of students in a variety of subjects. A month after my graduation from Villanova, I was on a plane to California to start work on my Master's degree. I studied Entomology at the University of California, Davis and conducted a field research project that investigated how pesticides affect honey bee behavior. I also worked as a teaching assistant at Davis and co-created and taught a course about current issues related to beekeeping and bee conservation.I finished my M.S.in Entomology at the beginning of 2015. I have a sincere love of learning and find great joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher must be patient with their students and truly understand what issues they face in order to effectively communicate with them. I strive to cultivate a positive teaching environment that inspires my students with the same passion for learning that I have.I have recently focused on tutoring standardized tests including the GRE, SAT and ACT. I most enjoy tutoring the GRE because of the complexity of its questions. I love teaching students how to see through the tests tricks and pitfalls, while also analyzing the subtle clues provided by the questions. Other subjects that I have experience tutoring include math up to calculus, biology, statistics, essay composition, chemistry and physics.

Joshua
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I began my college education at Portland Community College where I studied Mathematics, Physics and engineering prerequisite classes such as Statics and Dynamics. While at PCC I would volunteer in the study hall by helping fellow students with their math homework. From PCC I transferred to Portland State University. I am currently working on my bachelor's of science in mechanical engineering degree. I currently tutor Algebra 1 through 4, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1 and Physics. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus 1 because that is where I find mathematics to become very interesting.I believe that each student has their own unique approach to learning new subjects. It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of a subject.Outside of school I like to Play and record music at home, read books and work in the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Computational economics applies computer science and numerical methods to solve economic problems and model complex market behaviors. It bridges theoretical economics with practical programming, allowing economists to simulate real-world scenarios, analyze large datasets, and test policy decisions before implementation.
Understanding computational economics is increasingly valuable because modern economic analysis relies heavily on computational tools. Whether you're studying macroeconomic forecasting, financial modeling, or agent-based simulations, these skills are essential for advanced economics coursework and careers in finance, policy analysis, and research.
Many students struggle with the intersection of economics theory and programming practice. Common challenges include:
- Translating economic concepts into code—understanding which algorithms match which economic problems
- Building comfort with programming languages (Python, R, MATLAB) while simultaneously learning economic models
- Debugging numerical methods and interpreting computational results within an economic framework
- Managing large datasets and optimizing code for complex simulations
Personalized instruction addresses these by breaking down the integration of theory and practice, allowing students to strengthen foundational programming skills while building economic intuition at their own pace.
In a classroom setting, instructors often move at a standard pace that may not align with individual learning needs. Computational economics requires simultaneous mastery of economics theory, programming syntax, and numerical methods—three complex areas that benefit from targeted attention.
Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to identify whether a student is struggling with the economic concept, the programming implementation, or the mathematical foundation—and address the specific gap. Tutors can spend extra time on debugging code together, walk through economic model design step-by-step, and customize examples to match a student's learning style, leading to deeper understanding and stronger problem-solving skills.
An excellent computational economics tutor should have strong credentials in both economics and computer science. Look for tutors with:
- Advanced coursework or degrees in economics, financial engineering, or related fields
- Proven programming expertise in languages commonly used in computational economics (Python, R, MATLAB, or Julia)
- Experience with econometric modeling, simulation, and numerical optimization
- Ability to explain both the 'why' (economic theory) and the 'how' (implementation)
- Track record helping students improve grades and build confidence in problem-solving
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and have experience teaching students at your level, whether you're starting with foundational concepts or working on advanced research projects.
With consistent personalized instruction, students typically see measurable improvements including: stronger grasp of how to model economic problems computationally, ability to write and debug code confidently, improved exam and assignment grades, and increased comfort tackling complex problem sets independently.
Beyond grades, many students develop the analytical mindset needed for upper-level coursework and graduate programs. They learn to approach unfamiliar economic models methodically, test their assumptions through simulation, and communicate results clearly—skills that transfer directly to research projects and professional work in economics, finance, and policy analysis.
Computational economics typically appears as an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course, often following intermediate microeconomics and econometrics. Some programs integrate computational methods throughout the curriculum, while others offer it as a specialized elective. The course usually covers agent-based modeling, numerical optimization, equilibrium computation, and data analysis using economic software.
Understanding where computational economics sits in your program's sequence helps identify prerequisite skills you may need to strengthen. Personalized tutoring can ensure you have solid foundations in linear algebra, calculus, and programming before diving into computational methods, and can align instruction with your specific course objectives and assignments.
Python is currently the most popular choice for computational economics due to its readability, extensive libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas), and strong community support. R is widely used for statistical analysis and econometrics. MATLAB remains common in academic settings for numerical computation, and Julia is increasingly used for high-performance computing in complex economic models.
The specific language depends on your program and career goals, but Python proficiency is the strongest starting point for most students. A tutor can help you master whichever language your course requires, teach you how to structure economic models in code, and build the debugging skills necessary to work independently on computational projects.
