Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

Conversational French Tutor • +11 Subjects

Hello, I am a passionate and energetic native French Teacher from Brittany, France. I have over 10 years of experience teaching all levels and experiences of French to various age groups from children to adults. My goal as French tutor is to help students reach their full potential and give them confidence to succeed in French. On my initial meeting with the student, I assess their strengths and personality in order to tailer a tutoring program that is geared to their individual needs. A good tutor means being able to relate to the students personal way of interpreting the French language and showing your willingness to adapt a methodology to meet their needs. My tutoring and teaching sessions encourages and immerses creative processes for developing a student aptitude and mindset for an appreciation of bilingual opportunities and cultural enrichment. French is an artistic language that provides unlimited possibilities for developing an aptitude for cultural enrichment and artistic appreciation. Students who embrace the macro aspect of the language will also embrace the dynamics of the French culture, French art and French history.

Meredith

ACT Prep Tutor • +23 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Chemistry. I worked for several years as a product engineer in industry and now am applying to go to medical school. While a college student, I was a campus tour guide, undergraduate researcher, violinist in orchestra, and I tutored both high school and college students for the Pitt Engineering Career Access Program. The tutoring program was designed to support students focused on graduating with a degree in science, technology, engineering, or math. My favorite subjects to tutor are anything in the math and science fields. I firmly believe that with the right approach and a bit of practice, anyone can grasp these topics. I treat solving math problems more like solving a puzzle, one piece at a time. Since I am passionate about the importance of math and science, I enjoy making them more relatable to a student by explaining their real world applications whenever possible.One of my favorite activities is distance running. I am a volunteer coach for the Girls on the Run Philadelphia organization and I ran the 2013 Chicago Marathon.Overall, I am an enthusiastic person and am excited about any opportunity to have a positive impact. I try to combine my technical background and creative personality to make learning a difficult topic easier for a student. I enjoy tutoring and find a great sense of gratification in helping students achieve their academic endeavors.

12th Grade Math Tutor • +42 Subjects

I have always been a goal oriented and reaching-for-the-stars individual. As a New York native, I graduated as the salutatorian from high school with regents' honors. I have excelled with 95%+ in all of my high school regents examinations. As a high school student I fell in love with Math & Science and frequently tutored my colleagues who were struggling with their classes. In my senior year of high school I achieved the NY1 Scholar Athlete scholarship and was placed on the NYC Chancellor's Honor Roll. I then went on to Stony Brook University where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. At Stony Brook, I was on the Dean's List every semester and a Golden Key Honor Society Member. After completing my undergraduate science classes, I became a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Chemistry. As a teaching assistant, I met with students on a one to one basis during office hours and helped strengthen their problem areas.After undergrad, I went to medical school and graduated with honors. During medical school I tutored and prepared students for the United States Medical License examinations. I prepared and delivered daily lectures for the internal medicine students and increased the pass rate from 65% to 90%. I completed my medical clerkships and attained my M.D. December 2014.I am committed, devoted and conscientious to everything I set my mind on and my decision to tutor reflects my lifelong desire for personal growth and education. When tutoring, I believe that 'diagnosing' a student's weakness is essential to building a strong foundation. It is my motto to work hard and give nothing less than my very best. It brings joy to me and the thrill of seeing a student improve with my help drives my compassion and love for teaching. Teaching not only excites me but has become a part of me that I am dedicated to and passionate about. In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball and running various races and marathons.

One thing I know for sure is, as a student, the feeling of studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel.I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to teach test prep, having scored in the top percentile on the SAT and PSAT in high school. Best of all, I am still in school, so I know exactly what it is like to have classes, homework, tests, and deadlines!

I believe that every person can get better at their task if they put their mind to it. I am a fifth year teacher who has taught both social studies and language arts at the middle school level. I've tutored at the elementary and adult levels, as well. My goal as a tutor is to help and guide students where they need/want to be. I want to know that my students understand the subject or topic at hand. As a teacher already, I know how to make connections and meaning to the topic and can help guide others into understanding, as well. I am driven to helping others accomplish their goal no matter how many sessions it takes, because that is my job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Institutional Economics focuses on how social structures, rules, and organizations shape economic behavior—rather than assuming rational actors in perfect markets. This approach examines institutions like property rights, contracts, and regulations, and their real-world impact on markets and human behavior. Students often find this perspective refreshing because it connects economic theory to actual business practices, policy decisions, and historical context. A tutor experienced in Institutional Economics can help you bridge theory and application, making abstract concepts like transaction costs and organizational hierarchies concrete and relevant to case studies you'll encounter.

Students typically struggle most with transaction cost analysis, understanding the coase theorem and its limitations, and connecting institutional frameworks to microeconomic outcomes. Many also find it difficult to apply concepts like path dependency and institutional lock-in to real-world scenarios without guidance. Personalized tutoring helps because a tutor can identify whether you're struggling with the conceptual foundation or the application, then adapt explanations and examples to your learning style. Working through problem sets and case studies one-on-one accelerates mastery of these nuanced topics.

In a classroom, instructors must move at one pace for 30+ students, which often leaves gaps in understanding complex institutional concepts. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can slow down on areas where you're struggling—like explaining why certain institutions emerge or why they persist—and accelerate through concepts you've already grasped. Tutors can also tailor examples to industries or organizations you're interested in, making the material more engaging and memorable. This targeted approach typically leads to deeper comprehension and better performance on essays and exams that require you to analyze institutions critically.

An excellent Institutional Economics tutor should have strong knowledge of foundational economists like Veblen, Commons, and North, and be able to explain how their ideas connect to modern institutional theory. They should also be skilled at breaking down abstract concepts into concrete examples and be comfortable discussing real companies, industries, and policy debates. Look for someone who can help you develop critical thinking skills—institutional economics rewards deep analysis rather than memorization. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in economic theory and the ability to make institutional frameworks accessible to students at various levels.

Success in Institutional Economics comes from mastering core concepts and developing the ability to apply them to unfamiliar situations. Start by strengthening your understanding of foundational ideas like property rights, transaction costs, and organizational behavior. Then practice analyzing case studies and historical examples—this is what most exams and papers test. A tutor can help you identify gaps in your conceptual understanding, show you how to structure institutional analysis essays, and provide feedback on your arguments before you submit them. Regular tutoring sessions combined with active practice typically result in measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks.

Institutional Economics is usually an upper-level elective rather than a prerequisite, but having a solid foundation in microeconomics and macroeconomics helps significantly. If you're taking Institutional Economics, you likely already understand supply and demand, market structures, and basic game theory. However, Institutional Economics offers a different lens for understanding markets and organizations—one that complements traditional approaches. If you're struggling with how institutions fit into your broader economics coursework, a tutor can help you see the connections and show how institutional thinking enriches your analysis of other economic topics.

With consistent personalized tutoring, you should expect clearer understanding of how institutions emerge and persist, stronger ability to analyze institutional frameworks in case studies, and improved essay and exam performance. Many students see grade improvements of one letter grade or more within a few weeks of regular sessions. Beyond grades, you'll develop critical thinking skills that transfer to other coursework and help you see how economics applies to real organizational and policy decisions. The timeline depends on where you're starting and how frequently you work with a tutor, but most students notice meaningful progress within 3-4 weeks of regular instruction.
