Hi, I’m Torin! I’m a Brown University Honors grad with a double major in Applied Mathematics and Economics, and a Teach For America Fellow with over 8 years of experience helping students excel in Economics, Math, Physics, Test Prep, and STEM subjects.

At Brown, I served as Head Economic Student Lecturer, teaching large lectures and tutoring Micro and Macro Economics. After working as a data analyst for a proprietary energy trading firm in D.C., I returned to graduate school to study the sciences in depth. As a Teach For America Fellow, I became a full-time award-winning high school math teacher at Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, where I developed curriculum and helped students close gaps in rigorous, diverse classrooms.

Now a professional private tutor, I specialize in helping students master complex topics, raise test scores, and gain confidence in STEM and Economics subjects. Whether you're aiming for a 5 on AP Calc or Econ, pushing for top ACT/SAT math scores, or working through college-level problem sets in a challenging class, I’ll tailor our sessions to your learning style and goals.

I love working one-on-one with students and I’ll bring energy, patience, and deep subject knowledge to every session.

You got this, and together, we'll get you there!

Engaging and Patient

Torin has been an incredible teacher in both math and physics, helping me make remarkable progress in a short time. When I first started physics, I was completely lost and struggling to keep up. Torin’s clear explanations, step-by-step guidance, and unwavering patience turned everything around for me. Now, I fully understand the concepts and feel confident in the subject. In math, his support has been equally transformative. Thanks to his expert tutoring, I achieved a perfect 100 on my math test—a dramatic improvement from my earlier grades. Torin's ability to simplify complex topics and adjust to my learning style has significantly improved my academic performance. I wholeheartedly recommend Torin to anyone looking to excel in math or physics. His dedication and teaching skills are unparalleled!

Highly reccommend!!!

I’m a student at UPenn, and working with Torin has been incredibly helpful. He’s great at explaining economics concepts — whether it’s opportunity cost, consumer choice or more advanced topics, he breaks things down in a way that just makes sense. What I really appreciate is how he makes sure you actually understand the material, not just memorize it: he’s patient, checks in often, and walks through problems until it clicks. Thanks to his guidance, I feel much more confident in my coursework. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a strong economics tutor!

A Knowledgeable and Exceptionally Clear Tutor

I am a student at Northwestern University, and I was preparing for an upcoming Econometrics exam that covered a wide range of complex and technical material. He helped me navigate challenging concepts and ensured I fully understood each topic throughout our sessions. His explanations made the material clear, approachable, and easy to digest. An excellent tutor who is highly knowledgeable and exceptional at making difficult ideas easy to grasp.

Jack, 3 lessons with Torin

super helpful!

The phrase “teach a man to fish” comes to mind. As someone who has never used SAS or done any kind of coding at all. He helped me not only get a general understanding of what I was doing, he also assisted with my ability to troubleshoot when I hit a snag.

Marcus, 1 lesson with Torin

Straight-forward, friendly guidance

Torin is clearly familiar with statistical concepts and has a great personality for teaching. He helped me verify an assumption for one of my statistical models as well as verifying my interpretation of my model was correct. His credentials are clearly earned.

Awesome Econ tutor

As a freshman at Duke, I struggled to find an Econ tutor who truly understood the material and could explain it in a way that made sense to me. That all changed when I started working with Torin. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made complex concepts so much easier to grasp. Thanks to his help, I gained confidence in my econ classes and actually started enjoying the subject. I highly recommend Torin to anyone looking for a great tutor!

Luke, 1 lesson with Torin

Knowledgeable and Talented Tutor

I started working with Torin near the end of my semester and he helped me fill in the gaps with my knowledge in calculus and prior courses. He was patient in helping me learn basic algebra skills that i struggled with while making sure i understood the harder calculus concepts. I was more than prepared for my final and cant wait to work with him next semester.
