Professor of Economics and Finance

Dr. Michael O.

Highly Recommend Dr. Micheal O!

I cannot express how incredible Dr. O is. Before working with him, I was on the verge of failing my Microeconomics class—something that felt inevitable given how challenging the material was and how many of us in the class were struggling. But thanks to Dr. O, not only did I turn things around, but I also ended up with a grade I never thought I could achieve. What sets Dr. O apart is his unmatched dedication and thoroughness. He was not just focused on helping me find the right answers but on making sure I understood the underlying concepts and the 'why' behind every solution. His ability to break down complex ideas into something manageable was astounding. He patiently worked with me through every detail until I felt confident, no matter how long it took. On top of that, he came to every session fully prepared, which made our lessons efficient and productive. His structured approach not only helped me prepare for the exam (40% of my grade) but also gave me a deeper appreciation for the subject. He turned what felt like an impossible situation into one where I felt empowered to succeed. If you're looking for a tutor who is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, Dr. O is in a league of his own. I truly believe I wouldn't have passed—let alone done well—without his help. He’s a lifesaver and a game-changer, especially in high-pressure situations. Beyond amazing!

Thank you, Julie, for your kind review of our work together. It was a pleasure working with you this semester. I was very glad I could help you better understand the various Microeconomic topics covered and improve your grade in your course. Grasping the underlying concepts is a principal key to moving through and comprehending the many varied subject areas in Micro. Congratulations on doing so well in your course!

Score 5 and 4 on AP Micro & Macro in just 6 weeks!

I’ve completed 10 lessons with Dr. O and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional tutor. When I first started, I had absolutely no background in microeconomics, but in less than three weeks, I was able to score 59 out of 60 on a practice test (multiple-choice), something I truly didn’t think was possible before working with him. Dr. O has a very clear and effective teaching style. He constantly asks questions during lessons to make sure I understand the material and is always ready with precise and concise explanations whenever I have questions. He is always positive, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic about teaching. He never rushes the lessons and always encourages me to take my time and really understand the material. I’m extremely grateful to have him as my tutor and I am very excited to learn about macroeconomics in our next lesson. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive tutor! --- A few days ago, I got my AP exam results for both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and I’m incredibly thankful to have had Dr. O as my tutor. We covered Micro in just 6 weeks and Macro in 3, and I ended up scoring a 5 on Micro and a 4 on Macro. A lot of tutors told me it would be nearly impossible to get a 5 on even one AP exam in such a short time. So the fact that I was able to take two exams and earn these scores in just six weeks honestly feels unbelievable. But none of this would have been possible without both Dr. O’s guidance. He was with me every step of the way, always supportive and positive. He never makes you feel like you’re doing this alone, and his encouragement really pushed me to keep going when I doubted myself. At the same time, I think your commitment and dedication play a big part. I spent around 3 to 4 hours almost every day doing extra practice, reviewing questions, and making sure I understood the material fully. It was definitely a team effort, and that’s what made the results possible. I highly recommend Dr. O to anyone who’s serious about improving and ready to put in the effort.

Excellent, First Class.

Dr. Michael tutored my twin sons in micro and macro economics in advance of a major exam on the topics. He was an excellent teacher and we were lucky to find him. Boys enjoyed him and learned a lot. His style was friendly but direct, and he wasted no time. Great job!

Dr. O did a superb job working with our son

Dr. O did a superb job working with our son in both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and helping him prepare for A.P. Exams in both subjects. Dr. O was extremely knowledgable about the subjects and demonstrated tremendous skill in explaining complicated concepts in ways that were easy to understand and to retain. He showed great patience in reviewing the material until our son was comfortable with it. In addition, Dr. O responded well to questions, making sure our son not only understood the answers but the material underlying the answers. We are extremely grateful for Dr. O and could not recommend him any more highly!

Excellent and motivating tutor

Best Economics Tutor

I’m a freshman in college and struggled with Micro Economics. I recently had 3 sessions with Dr. O and finally knew what was going on when taking my final exam. He explained concepts to me in a way I could understand them. I greatly appreciated that Dr O. found time to work with me right before my finals. I highly recommend Dr. O., because I learned so much from him. He’s not only a great teacher, he’s the best “Professor” in my opinion. Thank you Dr O., Josh.

Immense knowledge in Economics and a very good teacher

Dr. Micheal O explains things like supply and demand, market structures, and how the economy works in a way that’s super easy to understand. I really like how patient he is and how he answers all my questions without making me feel rushed. His examples are really helpful, and they’ve made a big difference in my AP Economics test scores. Thanks to him, I feel much more confident and actually enjoy learning about economics!

Dr. Michael has been very helpful in getting my daughter to pass her Economics class. He takes his time to understand the material she is learning, where she is struggling, then expertly explains it to where she can understand it. Always available to help when she needs it.
