Malorie R.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness and am currently completing a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics. My academic background has given me strong quantitative and analytical skills, particularly in applied economic theory and agricultural decision-making. Throughout my time in both undergraduate and graduate school, I’ve served as an informal but consistent tutor for my peers in a wide range of economics and math-based courses. These include Quantitative Economics, Econometrics, Agricultural Finance, Intermediate Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Public Problems and Policy of Agriculture, and Advanced Farm Management, among others.
In addition to peer tutoring, I worked as a high school teacher during the eight months between completing my undergraduate degree and beginning graduate school. That role provided valuable experience in managing a classroom and adapting instruction to various learning styles and academic levels. Prior to that, I served as a secondary instructor for an undergraduate socioeconomic course which strengthened my ability to explain complex material in an engaging and accessible way.
My tutoring style is built around real-world application. I use analogies and relatable examples to help students grasp abstract economic concepts—whether it’s comparing utility to “bang for your buck” when grocery shopping, or explaining opportunity cost through daily decision-making. I’ve worked with high school students, college undergraduates, and adult learners, both one-on-one and in group settings. I prioritize patience, clarity, and breaking down material into manageable steps so students feel confident and capable.
