AP & IB Economics and Global Studies Tutor — Georgetown & UChicago

Mehrab M.

I am an applied economist and educator with graduate training in economics from Georgetown University and public policy from the University of Chicago, and more than fifteen years of experience teaching, mentoring, and designing learning materials around economics, global systems, and data-driven problem solving. My academic and professional work has focused on how trade, food systems, climate, and development shape people’s lives around the world, and I bring that real-world perspective into my tutoring. I have taught in both formal academic settings and community-based programs, including serving as a teaching assistant for a graduate-level data analysis course at Georgetown, where I worked with master’s students on statistics, econometric reasoning, and applying data to real policy questions.

Earlier in my career I taught computer literacy and practical life skills to adult learners through National Student Partnerships, where I designed lessons, worked one-on-one with students at different skill levels, and helped learners build confidence in quantitative and analytical thinking. Across my research and professional work, I have also trained and mentored junior analysts, field teams, and practitioners through workshops and individualized coaching, often using interactive models, datasets, and case studies to make complex ideas accessible.

As a tutor, I focus on helping students truly understand economics and global studies rather than just memorizing formulas or definitions. I work with middle school, high school, and college-level students, including those taking AP or IB Economics, by connecting concepts to real-world examples, guiding them through data and graphs, and showing them how to build clear arguments so they gain both confidence and long-term understanding.
