I hold an MS in economics from Purdue University and a BS from the University of Arizona. I have 15+ years classroom teaching experience at the community college and high school level. I have also been a full time tutor since 2020. I am passionate about the economic way of thinking and your success. Similar to when I'm teaching, I want to find out student interest so I can tailor the examples to your interests. I also want to find out what students know and what they need to know this will help you understand the content.

I have taught Title 1, high school students. AP students, who have earned above-average scores in my courses. I have also taught community college students since 2016 so I can work with a diverse group of students. I recommend students look for a tutor who has teaching experience and someone who can think of relevant examples for the student. I would also recommend someone who takes an interest in the student's success.

I have extensive business knowledge and relevant examples for students from my years working in the private sector before teaching. I also keep up with economics and financial news.

Excellent tutor

He explains economics concepts really well in ways I can understand. He also gives a lot of practice questions so I can make sure I understand the concepts better.

Microecon Tutor

Travis helped me understand past material I was struggling with and showed me how to approach similar problems in the future. He also shared helpful resources for ongoing study. Highly recommend!

awesome AP Macroeconomics teacher

My kid is on the spectrum and he struggled with the new concepts as introduced by his teacher at school. Travis not only made it easy for him to grasp the concepts, but excelled at the subject. Thank you Travis for all the help you have given us.

Excellent Tutor

We’ve had around 6 sessions with Travis, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Despite a 12-hour time difference, he has always been flexible and accommodating with scheduling, which we truly appreciate. His explanations are consistently clear, structured, and easy to understand—making even the more complex topics feel approachable. Since he began tutoring our daughter, her understanding has deepened significantly, and she has consistently maintained an “A” in AP Macroeconomics. We’re very grateful for his support and highly recommend him to any student looking for expert guidance in the subject.

Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor!

I met with Travis twice online, and he is so nice and knowledgeable about economics. He taught me memory tricks for supply and demand, helped me visualize graphs for supply and demand, and different types of firms, and provided me with additional tools and resources to help me study for my exams.

Excellent tutor!!

Great tutor and really helped me with understanding the concepts. Was very understandable and adapting to what I needed help with

Haleema, 2 lessons with Travis

Knowledgeable and patient

I’ve seen Travis a couple times now for my microeconomics class and he really makes it easy to understand the concepts and graphs. I definitely recommend booking a session, he is flexible with dates and times if what is available doesn’t work for your schedule.

Extremely knowledgeable, encouraging and patient tutor

My child attends a private high school where the teachers go above and beyond in teaching material for their AP classes. The tutors we were finding prior to Travis were great for teaching for the AP Macro exams and classes for students who get taught just what they need for the exam—I did not realize that most schools did just this. Travis has an incredible level of knowledge of macro and was able to answer every single question we had and really helped increase understanding of macro as a whole. He is excellent!!

Patient, Fun and Knowledgable tutor.

I can't say enough about my incredible experience with Travis! In just a few short hours, he helped me grasp complex economics concepts that once felt completely out of reach. His patience, expertise, and ability to make challenging topics approachable have been invaluable as I navigate a subject I had no prior experience with. Travis is not only highly knowledgeable but also engaging and fun to work with. He has truly been a game-changer for my MBA journey. I’m beyond grateful for his support and highly recommend his tutoring services to anyone seeking clarity and confidence in economics!
