Yale University Graduate Looking to Help

Billy S.

I graduated from Yale University with a degree in Economics, where I completed rigorous coursework in mathematics, statistics, and economic analysis. My academic background required consistent engagement with complex quantitative and theoretical material, which strengthened my ability to break down difficult concepts into clear, logical steps. Through this training, I developed a structured approach to learning and teaching that emphasizes fundamentals, pattern recognition, and practical application rather than memorization.

I have several years of experience tutoring and teaching in one-on-one and small-group settings. Academically, I have worked with middle school, high school, and college-aged students in subjects including math, economics, and test preparation. My tutoring style focuses on diagnosing where understanding breaks down, reinforcing core concepts, and then building confidence through guided practice. I adapt my explanations based on how each student learns, whether that means using visual examples, real-world applications, or step-by-step walkthroughs.

In addition to formal academic tutoring, I have extensive teaching experience through athletics, where I regularly instructed and mentored younger students and peers. As a varsity athlete, I spent years teaching skills, strategy, and discipline in individual and small-group environments. This experience reinforced the importance of patience, clear communication, and constructive feedback. Across all tutoring contexts, my goal is to help students not only improve their performance, but also develop the independent problem-solving skills and confidence needed for long-term success.
