Bio

Hi, I'm Mica! I am a professor of economics at a college in Pennsylvania. The joy of teaching is what drove me to pursue my PhD and is what drives me to continue tutoring. I attended Quinnipiac University where I received my B.S. in Economics and was fortunate to have had some truly inspiring professors. They showed me the positive impact a professor can have on their students and still serve as an inspiration for me in my career. After undergrad, I joined AmeriCorps for a year to build...

Hi, I'm Mica! I am a professor of economics at a college in Pennsylvania. The joy of teaching is what drove me to pursue my PhD and is what drives me to continue tutoring. I attended Quinnipiac University where I received my B.S. in Economics and was fortunate to have had some truly inspiring professors. They showed me the positive impact a professor can have on their students and still serve as an inspiration for me in my career. After undergrad, I joined AmeriCorps for a year to build houses with Habitat For Humanity before attending the University of New Hampshire for my PhD in Economics specializing in Health Economics, International Economics, and College Teaching. Over the past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching many courses from Principles of Micro- and Macroeconomics to Game Theory, Environmental Economics, Econometrics, Public Economics, International Trade, and Health Economics.

On this site, I have tutored students from high school sophomores to college seniors and had a great time along the way. I have tutored high school students for the AP exam in both micro- and macroeconomics with good success; I have helped many college students with principles of micro- and macroeconomics; and I have helped many upper-level college students with understanding the intuition and technical aspects econometrics (where I have deep experience of both Stata and R).

I want this experience to be as beneficial to you as possible, so I welcome any additional resources and any suggestions you may have. I am easy to reach and will provide prompt responses. Please let me know what questions you have!

I have a PhD in economics and have been teaching for 10 years. I think the tools of economics can help you make better sense of the world and help you understand more of why and how the world works the way it does. I found a love for this way of thinking many years ago and hope to pass it along to you.

I hope you will reach out with questions you have and to schedule a lesson with me soon!

Best tutor I've had!

Mica is one of the best, if not the best tutor I have ever had. He always came on time and prepared with material ahead of time ready to answer any questions I had. Definitely the best aspect of working with Mica was that I felt I was learning the concepts as a whole instead of us just working through problems. We used the wyzant whiteboard during our lesson which worked great and made the process extremely collaborative. Not only did I receive an A in every exam and homework, I always felt prepared and understood the material even ahead of class sometimes. He really made me love econometrics and want to dive deeper into the subject. I cannot recommend him enough!

Very patient, knowledgeable tutor

Michael has been great help for my daughter and I am glad was able to come across his profile right when the help was needed for my daughter. My daughter has been able to grasp he concepts and seen a positive result due to Michael's help.

Gurinder, 13 lessons with Michael

Best tutor I’ve had

Michael is extremely knowledgeable of the study of economics and has helped me immensely throughout my freshman semester in college whether it be studying for midterms or helping me with problem sets. His style of tutoring is excellent and I am looking forward to continuing with him next semester!

Steffi, 46 lessons with Michael

Great with Econometrics

Michael has done a great job in our two sessions helping me with econometrics. He is very patient and he has great knowledge. He has a great knowledge of Stata. I highly recommend him for undergraduate and graduate level classes

Bryan, 4 lessons with Michael

Best in the Business. Bruce Springsteen of Econometrics.

I don't say this lightly; Michael is one of the best tutors I have worked with in my career as a student, if not the best outright. I was in a real jam with econometrics; 2 sessions later, I was running regressions in StataSE like a natural. Michael explains the process very well and concisely, which is nice when you're on the clock. I have recommended Michael to a dozen or so of my peers and suggest you reserve time now before it's too late. Unbelievable knowledge and even better communication skills.

Saving me from failing :)

I would've had to retake this course but Prof. K went over everything I wasn't clear on and I'm on track to do much better than I expected! Highly recommend his lessons, he's great at breaking down complex topics and guiding you through the parts that are toughest for you.

Nicholas, 2 lessons with Michael

Very effective, explanatory tutor.

Explained things very well and engaged me when I needed it to make me show my understanding of concepts. Extremely easy to get along with and learn from, highly recommend to other students!

James, 13 lessons with Michael

Knowledgeable and great tutor

I only wish we had found Michael sooner, my son was struggling with economics, especially with everything being online this semester. He told me after his first lesson that Michael explained things in a way that was so much easier to understand then his actual professor at UCF. I appreciated that Michael took the time to request information upfront that would allow him to better prepare so no time was wasted during the actual tutoring sessions. I would not hesitate to hire Michael again.

Great Teacher!

Michael really helped with my IB Economics course and in preparing for both the AP Micro and AP Macro exams. He is an extremely patient teacher and really takes the time to explain every concept thoroughly. He is also very flexible and understanding with timings and scheduling lessons which is extremely helpful. Overall, I would really recommend Michael as an Economics teacher!
