Economics student at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Otto B.

I am currently a student at the University of Michigan (Class of 2029), double majoring in Economics and German with a minor in Statistics. My relevant coursework includes Principles of Economics I & II, Intermediate Microeconomic Theory, Calculus II, and Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis. Prior to college, I attended Stuyvesant High School in New York City — one of the most prestigious and academically rigorous specialized public high schools in the country, with admission granted through a highly competitive entrance exam.

I graduated in 2025 with a 95/100 GPA and a 1560 SAT (780 Math, 780 Reading), earning 5s on nine AP exams including AP Statistics, AP Computer Science A, AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus BC. I was inducted into the ARISTA Honor Society and named a National Merit Finalist.

I have over two years of tutoring experience across multiple settings. Through the ARISTA Honor Society at Stuyvesant, I tutored fellow high school students one-on-one and in small groups in Algebra, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I also volunteered as a tutor at the Prescod Institute for Sport, Teamwork, and Education, providing structured academic support in math to middle and high school students in both individual and group sessions.

Additionally, I assisted elementary school students at Immigrant Social Services, an after-school program in Chinatown, helping with homework and foundational academics. I am comfortable working with students of all ages and adapt my approach to each learner — emphasizing genuine understanding over memorization, drawing on my own experience excelling in these subjects at a high-performing academic environment.
