The Department of Economics employs current Economics majors to provide free peer tutoring to their fellow students. Our Philosophy is simple - we aim to provide an approachable learning environment where all students can feel comfortable asking for help.
How does the service work?
Peer tutoring is available in both the Spring and Fall semesters. At the start of each semester, drop-in hours are posted on this webpage. Tutoring is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis, and no appointment is necessary. Remember to bring any questions related to your Economics courses.
Courses Served
- Principles: Econ 1201 and 1202
- Intermediates: Econ 2201 and 2202
- Quantitative Intermediates: Econ 2211Q and 2212Q

What I Love Most about Economics: I love statistical modeling, and its intersection with economics is econometrics! Econometrics gives us the ability to answer economics’ toughest questions with statistical rigor.
Statistical modeling often requires perfect conditions and assumptions the real world simply can’t meet, and it’s here where economists discover creative solutions to scenarios that often seem impossible to model.
