Matt Hammon

Advanced High School Economics Tutor and Teacher

Courses Offered for Remote Tutoring and Small Group Instruction:

I believe in a relational and friendly educational environment built upon respect and goals.

I run a boutique tutoring practice without the massive overhead of larger firms, allowing me to offer expert-level solutions at a more affordable rate for students and families.

I offer several bulk lesson packages, making each tier of lessons more affordable as more lessons are booked.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get to know each other a bit and design a course of action specifically tailored to your exact needs.

Skills

  • Direct Instruction for Students Self-Studying

    Does your school not offer AP Micro and / or AP Macroeconomics? I have worked with many students in this situation who have earned 5's on both of these exams after working with me.

  • Support For AP / IB Economics Courses in School

    Most of my students come to me when or because the instruction they are receiving in school is not adequately preparing them for the exam. I have a streamlined, narrative, and practice-based regimen for success in AP and IB Economics.

  • Homework Help and Feedback

    Most of my students are seniors in high school with tremendous demands on their time and energy. Having an expert economics teacher in your corner helping you make sense of the daily work and weekly assessments, as well as offering feedback on the written portions, is a tremendously valuable and efficient use of time.

  • Preliminary Economics for Middle Schoolers

    Perhaps you intend to take these courses in high school and would like to have a solid foundation of the concepts and skills before you get there. If so, I have developed a preliminary survey course to fill this gap.
