Bio

I am an Economics professor, with a PhD in economics, and Master's Degree focus in applied microeconomics and statistics. I also received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army after serving on active duty. I have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience for ages 6 thru college level, including adult learners.

I am an Economics professor, with a PhD in economics, and Master's Degree focus in applied microeconomics and statistics. I also received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army after serving on active duty. I have over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience for ages 6 thru college level, including adult learners. Additionally, as a graduate student, I have experience teaching undergraduate college students and adult learners in the traditional classroom setting and one-on-one instruction.

I am experienced in teaching learners with different social and learning needs, such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. My academic experience has been both applied and theoretical and I have had opportunities to teach wonderful students that do not learn in the traditional way, using visual and auditory reinforcement, and outside-of-the-box ways of thinking about problems, rather than getting lost in equations and being overwhelmed with facts.

My life is not all school and work. In college, I was an NCAA D1 track athlete, and I have been a musician for my entire life. I started playing music on my first instrument, the viola, 25 years ago, and also play the violin and tenor saxophone. I enjoy getting outside and experience a full and well-rounded life, which has been bountiful as I have lived all over the United States, from NY to Alaska.

I enjoy tutoring because I love education. I am passionate about helping others succeed and realize the immense value an education can have, at all levels. I started off teaching inner-city youth to help them see a bitter future for themselves and now, I want to use this platform to bring that to people in my community and across the country. I use flexible learning methods for students that do not do well with traditional instruction, or students who may have been away from school for a while, recognizing that not everyone learns the same way or at the same pace.

GRE

I have recently gone through the GRE process myself in the past year, so I am very current on the exam's format and question types. I scored very well on the GRE, gaining admission to many well-ranked economics Ph.D. programs in the United States. As an economist, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing are extremely important skills that were necessary for me to excel. I have been helping to prepare students for standardized tests for many years now and have always had great success, especially in helping students review necessary mathematical concepts and improving their analytical writing skills. I have developed a very intuitive, visualized method for helping students with mathematical difficulties. My approach to teaching mathematics for the quantitative part of the GRE has been developed from thousands of hours tutoring and teaching mathematics to everyone from children as young as 6, to adults returning to college. I take pride in an individualized level of attention and customization for each student.

Additionally, I have worked as an educator at the university level, assisting with economics and statistics based courses and have experience providing academic mentorship to those pursuing college-level degrees as well as those returning to take their GED. I thoroughly enjoy helping adult learners go back to complete their high school equivalency and college education and recognize the challenges that come with being an adult learner. I employ a multi-sensory practical application approach where everything for the adult learner is related or contextually relevant to their lives. This results in a stronger intuitive understanding of material and increased confidence.

Also, as part of my master's program, I completed the coursework in advanced statistics, which included theory in probability, inference, econometrics, and advanced econometrics.

Test Preparation

ACT Math,

ACT Math

I have been helping students prepare for standardized testing for over a decade and have a wealth of standardized testing experience, myself. I am not a naturally gifted test taker, but I am persistent and have developed many techniques to help mitigate any test taking deficiencies that I know teach students with great success. For the ACT, I have tutored many students of varying skill levels and high school ages who are preparing to test and have always observed an increase in confidence, efficiency, and performance. The math section can be tricky for many students, so I use a combined method to reinforce fundamental math concepts that will be required for a successful test performance. As an economist, I have become very comfortable with all levels of mathematics and it has helped me with teaching math from as young as the 1st grade level, all the way through the college level.
ASVAB,

ASVAB

ASVAB Qualifications I am a U.S. Army Veteran and scored well enough when I took the ASVAB to qualify for every MOS in the Army. Additionally, I am well versed in the subject matter for the ASVAB and have tutored other future soldiers/marines/sailors/airmen to get successful scored on their ASVAB as well and qualify for the military job that they are looking for. I understand that many ASVAB takers may have had a time gap in their education, so I make sure to adapt my teaching emphasis to the individual student's learning strengths and spend time working on the subjects that the student feels less confident in, so they can build a solid foundation a little at a time.
College Counseling,

College Counseling

I have completed four higher education degrees and am starting on my fifth. To date, I have completed my A.A.S., B.A, M.S., and a Linguistic Certificate from the U.S. Government. Currently, I am starting work on my Ph.D. I have gone through the college process many times, after coming from a neighborhood where many people did not go to college, being a first-generation college student, and finding ways to fund myself. Additionally, I have served a mentor for my students, whom I privately tutor. I have helped them set up their college lists, including how to identify reach, match, and safety schools, how to find funding for schooling, and picking prospective majors.
GED,

GED

To date, I have earned a high school diploma, A.A.S., Bachelor's in Economics, and Master's of Science in Resource and Applied Economics. I am currently a Doctoral Academy Fellow working on my Ph.D. in Economics. In addition, I have been working with high school level material in a teaching capacity for over ten years, tutoring teenagers, young adults, and older adults alike in core subjects such as mathematics, English, reading, grammar, writing, history, social sciences, and physical sciences. Additionally, I have worked as an educator at the university level, assisting with economics and statistics based courses and have experience providing academic mentorship to those pursuing college-level degrees as well as those returning to take their GED. I thoroughly enjoy helping adult learners go back to complete their high school equivalency and college education and recognize the challenges that come with being an adult learner. I employ a multi-sensory practical application approach where everything for the adult learner is related or contextually relevant to their lives. This results in a stronger intuitive understanding of material and increased confidence.
GRE,

GRE

I have recently gone through the GRE process myself in the past year, so I am very current on the exam's format and question types. I scored very well on the GRE, gaining admission to many well-ranked economics Ph.D. programs in the United States. As an economist, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing are extremely important skills that were necessary for me to excel. I have been helping to prepare students for standardized tests for many years now and have always had great success, especially in helping students review necessary mathematical concepts and improving their analytical writing skills. I have developed a very intuitive, visualized method for helping students with mathematical difficulties. My approach to teaching mathematics for the quantitative part of the GRE has been developed from thousands of hours tutoring and teaching mathematics to everyone from children as young as 6, to adults returning to college. I take pride in an individualized level of attention and customization for each student.
SAT Math,

SAT Math

I have been working with students to improve their math skills for the SAT for over a decade. As a PhD economist, advanced mathematics is a daily part of my work and I've had the pleasure of teaching quantitative subjects and the SAT to students of all ability levels from all over the world.

Incredibly helpful session! Explains concepts very clearly. Great teacher! 10/10 recommend

We talked through my thesis work to make sure I was interpreting my models correctly. He was able to answer every question that popped up (very efficiently too). He had the necessary STATA code off the top of his head. Thanks, Nathaniel!
