I'm a current high school AP Economics teacher in Michigan with a passion for helping students understand the wonderful world of economics! Whether your goal is to score a 5 on the College Board AP exam, earn an A in a course, learn the topics, or a combination, I can help you achieve your goals. I offer free introductory sessions so we can meet and construct a game plan. My mantra is "patience and positivity" with students. I'm excited to begin working with you!!!

Reviews From Former Students on Wyzant

"Amazing and uplifting lesson, made me 10x more confident for my final exam! Helped me understand many concepts throughout the class, taught me lots of tips and tricks to make it easier. 10/10 recommend."
-Simrun (16 lessons) "Steven truly is an amazing AP Economics tutor. He has taught AP Economics for many years so he is incredibly knowledgeable about what AP Econ students need to know. Not only does he know all of the material like the back of his hand, but he is also able to explain it so well with great examples that make it easy for a student to understand. Furthermore, he is so kind and funny that it makes the experience a very positive one. He really cares and wants to make sure the student understands everthing. He offers great tips and tricks and very useful resources. He is also very accomodating in scheduling and meeting the student's needs. My daughter has met with Steven 3 times in preparation for an AP microeconomics midterm and will hopefully continue to work with him in the future. Wish we had found him sooner!" -Julie (3 lessons) "My daughter had been getting a low B in AP Micro, but after just two sessions with Steven, she earned an A- on her final exam. I am a teacher and know that students usually score lower on large cumulative assessments than they do on unit tests, which makes this grade improvement that much more impressive! I'd recommend meeting with Steven for the 15 minute complimentary consultation before your first session. We did this so he knew what our expectations were, and then he had lots of personalized material ready to go as soon as the first session started. I can't thank him enough for his excellent help!" -Sarah (2 lessons) "Had Steven on my list of tutors for AP Econ but had tried another first. Should have picked him first. Daughter went up to an A in Econ immediately after a few sessions. She was very sensitive to how tutors speak to her as she didn’t want to feel stupid since she just may need a slightly different explanation of some of the concepts she was struggling with. Steven got her ready and much more confident for both exams and while we don’t know the score yet he was truly an asset to her motivation and preparation! Start with Steven! Daughter rated him a 5! Both exams she felt went well for her! Thank you, thank you Steven!!!" -Tanya (5 lessons) "Steven has been great in helping to tutor my son in Micro Economics. My son has some learning challenges, but Steven has catered his teaching to my son's needs and he's really effective at communicating difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way. All around great tutor!" -Victoria (8 lessons) |

My Resources For Students |

I graduated from Michigan State University in 2002 with a degree in finance. I worked as a mortgage underwriter, an internal auditor, and a financial analyst for 7 years. I decided to exit the industry and pursue a lifelong passion of mine...teaching! I graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2010 with certificates in mathematics and economics. I also have my master's degree in education with a certification in technology from UM-Dearborn. I'm currently employed at the high school I was initially hired at because I love teaching here.
