Description

Teacher Tutors is hiring a part-time Economics Tutor to join our team on a flexible basis. This role is ideal for tutors with strong economics backgrounds who want to work one-on-one with motivated students. Supporting high schoolers preparing for AP Micro and Macro, and college students working through introductory and intermediate coursework.

You'll work with students across a range of levels and goals: AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics, college intro econ, and intermediate micro and macro (calculus-based or not, depending on the student's program). Sessions take place in students' homes, online, or at our Livingston, NJ office. We do our best to match families to tutors based on your preferred travel radius. You tell us how far you're willing to drive, and we work within that.

Responsibilities

• Deliver one-on-one tutoring sessions tailored to each student's course, instructor's expectations, and learning goals.
• Plan lessons and prepare materials (problem sets, graph practice, model walkthroughs, AP-style FRQs and multiple choice, and structured exam-prep schedules as test dates approach).
• Build students' fluency with graphing and economic models (supply and demand, AD-AS, IS-LM, production possibilities, game theory payoff matrices, etc.) and their ability to move between verbal, graphical, and mathematical representations of the same idea.
• Track progress across sessions and adjust pacing, materials, and difficulty based on what's working.
• Submit a short session note after each tutoring session and flag concerns to our Director early.
• Communicate clearly and warmly with parents
• Contribute to our team's shared practice: share what's working, ask questions, and help us keep raising the bar.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Economics or a closely related quantitative field (Finance, Public Policy, Mathematics with substantial economics coursework, etc.). Master's or PhD candidates are welcome.
• Demonstrated mastery of both microeconomics and macroeconomics at the AP and college introductory level, with the ability to scale up to intermediate-level coursework. Comfort with the calculus-based versions of intermediate micro and macro is a plus.
• Tutoring, TA, or classroom teaching experience (formal or informal) with high school or college students.
• Working familiarity with the current AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics course frameworks, including how FRQs and MCQs are scored and the common traps students fall into.
• Strong communication skills and the patience to work with students who may arrive frustrated, anxious, or burned out after a rough exam.
• Ability to plan individualized sessions and adapt in real time when a planned approach isn't landing, including explaining the same graph or model in multiple ways until it clicks.
• Availability for afternoon, evening, or weekend hours during the school year, with extra capacity around AP exam season (April–May) and college finals.
• Reliable transportation for in-home sessions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• A track record tutoring AP Economics with students consistently scoring 4s and 5s
• Background in econometrics, statistics, or quantitative methods for students taking those courses alongside their core micro and macro sequence
• Familiarity with the major intermediate textbooks (Mankiw, Krugman & Wells, Varian, Nicholson, Blanchard) so you can meet students inside the framework their professor is using
• Real-world experience applying economics (research, policy, finance, or industry roles) that helps you make abstract models concrete
• Bilingual (Spanish, Mandarin, or other languages common in the communities we serve)
