Bio

Hi there! I have a Ph.D. in economics, undergrad degrees in math and economics, and 10 years of experience in teaching college classes and tutoring college and high school students. My favorite classes to tutor are microeconomics, game theory, and calculus. I tend to do really well with students who typically find math and economics to be intimidating or difficult, and I enjoy working with students at the high school and college levels. I love math, but I know lots of people hate math -...

Hi there! I have a Ph.D. in economics, undergrad degrees in math and economics, and 10 years of experience in teaching college classes and tutoring college and high school students. My favorite classes to tutor are microeconomics, game theory, and calculus. I tend to do really well with students who typically find math and economics to be intimidating or difficult, and I enjoy working with students at the high school and college levels. I love math, but I know lots of people hate math - either way, you can get through this!

I typically meet with students at a library or coffee shop in the Clarendon/Rosslyn area on evenings or weekends. I find that it works best to set up a weekly tutoring time, but I'm also available for short-term help for upcoming tests or projects. Drop me a line if you have any questions or are interested in working with me!

Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics as well as Ph.D. in economics. During my undergraduate degree, I took the entire calculus sequence as well as an elective class on partial differential equations. During my graduate work, I used differential equations often since economics mostly focuses on optimization equations.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I received an undergraduate degree in mathematics. One of the classes I took was Discrete Math, and I also took classes covering proofs and other areas of discrete math such as topology, graph theory, and network analysis.
Econometrics

Econometrics

I have a Ph.D. in economics and have taken 3 semesters of graduate econometrics courses. I also have a thorough background in probability and statistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have tutored students in introductory econometrics, statistics, and probability courses.
STATA

STATA

I have taken 3 semesters of graduate econometrics in which STATA was the primary tool used. I also wrote an economics dissertation including 2 chapters of applied microeconomics in which all of the analysis was carried out using STATA.

Very good and works well with students

Very good session on intro to economics. Would recommend to others without reservation. This was to help an incoming college student begin to familiarize themselves with economics.

Easygoing and Friendly

Carrie is an easygoing, friendly tutor. My son is happy with her and he says she explains math in a way that helps him a lot. We are grateful for her help.
