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!

Awesome Tutor and super super helpful for AP exam

Have been doing a good amount of sessions in preparation for the A.P. Econ Exams. Nothing short of outstanding in Dr. O’s style. I need the boost to help me power through the studying process and he made it into manageable chunks and only cares about you doing well. He wants the best for you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and he makes you truly wonder how you were ever confused. He uses a helpful book that I also bought so it gave me an even better push in the studying process as we worked together in the book. Highly recommend if you want to do well and someone who is not just hear to talk to you about economics, but hear to make sure you don’t ever feel confused again. Trust his process

Great Tutor!

Dr. Olsher is a great tutor who explains macroeconomic concepts in depth and in a way that really helps them stick. He is very patient when answering questions and takes the time to address any doubts I have without rushing. I especially appreciate how he works through problems with me, making sure I understand not just the steps, but the underlying concepts as well. His focus on building strong conceptual understanding has made a big difference in my confidence with the material. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for clear and thoughtful guidance in macroeconomics.

Awesome Tutor and Helpful for AP exam

Met with him for the first time for the AP Economics exams. He was really awesome. He explained things well and mentioned things that are heavily tested that people don't know about. I decided to stay with him and work with him for the exam.

Very knowledgeable and very patient.

Michael did a great job connecting with my daughter and picking up right away on the areas she needed the most guidance on. He was very patient and very knowledgeable.

Best Microeconomics tutor

At the start of the semester, I really struggled with microeconomics and failed my midterm and felt completely lost. After that, I started working with Dr. O, and things changed fast. He broke everything down in a way that finally made sense and never made me feel bad for not getting it right away. He helped me understand the logic behind the formulas and graphs instead of just memorizing them, which made a huge difference. By the time the final came around, I actually understood the material and felt confident answering questions that used to confuse me. I went from failing to really getting it, and I couldn’t have done that without his help. Thank you Dr. O you're the best!

Fantastic tutor, very highly recommend

Dr. O has been working with my college-aged daughter on microeconomics. She has found him to be incredibly helpful and very easy to relate to over the computer. He takes the topics and breaks them down in ways she can easily understand. Would recommend him 100% without any reservation!!

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!
