I’ve spent over 20 years applying economic principles to real-world challenges—co-founding organizations that have served over 750,000 people and facilitated partnerships with companies like Google and Microsoft—and teaching business and economics at the undergrad and graduate levels.

I became an economics professor because I saw too many students memorizing formulas without understanding the powerful analytical tools they were learning. My goal as a tutor is to make economics and business clear, intuitive, and immediately useful, so students gain confidence applying these frameworks both academically and in their everyday decision-making.

Since 2019, I’ve served as a full-time Professor of Economics, teaching introductory and intermediate courses to hundreds of students each year. I previously taught at NYU and the University of Delaware. I hold an MBA in business economics and global strategy from the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and a BA from Dartmouth College.

As a tutor, I begin by identifying where a student feels uncertain, then teach them, methodically, how to use economic reasoning to ask questions, find answers, and solve problems independently. Rather than memorizing supply-and-demand graphs, we examine familiar situations—why rideshare prices surge during rainstorms, why concert tickets appear on secondary markets at higher prices, and why college tuition continues rising despite public pressure. Economics becomes a toolkit for understanding the world rather than an abstract academic exercise.

My areas of focus include microeconomics, macroeconomics, business economics, and applied economic analysis for strategic decision-making. I work with students preparing for AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics exams, college-level economics and business courses, MBA programs, and GRE/GMAT preparation.

Based in the Washington, DC area, I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, with one-on-one, small-group, and online sessions available.
