Bio

I have a master's degree in economics (from UChicago); before that, I studied computational mathematics, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. I have several years of experience working as a math and programming tutor for college and high school students, mostly in a one-on-one setting.

I'm happy to work with students taking more or less any math subject up through a college level. I particularly enjoy helping with calculus, analysis, probability, and statistics.

I have a master's degree in economics (from UChicago); before that, I studied computational mathematics, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. I have several years of experience working as a math and programming tutor for college and high school students, mostly in a one-on-one setting.

I'm happy to work with students taking more or less any math subject up through a college level. I particularly enjoy helping with calculus, analysis, probability, and statistics.

I have nearly a decade of programming experience, with experience in data science, scientific programming, and web programming -- I'm most familiar with Python, C++, JavaScript, and Julia, though I have some experience with many others and am comfortable helping with more or less any programming language or toolkit.

I'm also happy to tutor students in economics. I have taken (and passed) UChicago's PhD economics curriculum, as well as field courses in microeconomic theory, development economics, and economic history.

A bit about my teaching style: I tend to a Socratic style in helping others learn -- I will empower you to figure out solutions by asking you questions to guide your thinking, and filling in missing information when necessary. I am, of course, always ready to adapt my teaching to better meet your particular needs.

Econometrics,

Econometrics

I studied econometrics and statistics as an undergraduate and graduate student and have used econometric techniques in professional research. I am well-versed in econometric theory, particularly with linear models (e.g. linear regression). I have tutored students both on theoretical and practical aspects of econometrics.
Microeconomics,

Microeconomics

I am a PhD student in economics at the University of Chicago; I have completed undergraduate and graduate courses in microeconomics and conducted both applied and theoretical microeconomic research. I love this subject for its capacity to help us understand how the world works by providing a structured way to think about incentives and competition.

Computer Programming

I love programming and have been doing it for over a decade. I am familiar with lots of different programming languages, including (but not limited to!) Python, C++, JavaScript, TypeScript, Julia, Rust, Go, R, and Matlab. The types of programming I have the most experience with are data science, scientific programming, and web programming.

Calculus,

Calculus

I earned my undergraduate degree in math and worked as a math tutor for most of that time (and much of the time since then). I have helped students with all kinds of math, including single- and multi-variable calculus, and even analysis. Beyond my experience in school, I have also used calculus professionally (as an economist), so I can help you understand how calculus can be used "in the real world" if that is helpful for your learning.

Excellent - AP Economics

Ema has been great with my high school daughter, quickly covering topics in preparation for her exam that had been a challenge for my daughter previously. She has done a great job making some of these relatively complex topics more accessible by using practical examples.
