Nikki's ECON Help!
About
I can help you pass your ECON classes and actually make them fun to learn. Really! I can help you understand such topics as comparative advantage, payoff matrices, the role of government, and what the Federal Reserve does.
I've been teaching college students since 1993, and have won teaching awards from Georgia State University and Clayton State University.
I have a Ph.D., in Economics, but don't let that concern you. I am friendly, compassionate about teaching and learning, and can work with whatever technology you use.
Let me help you do well in your ECON classes,
Nikki

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with a phone call to establish a rapport. Then the student sends me current assignments and we continue via Zoom to work on problems.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Ph.D in economics and have taught for many years. I've learned about how students learn and I know effective ways to teach economics. I have teaching awards, too.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $20 for a one hour session via phone; but the first call is free.
How did you get started teaching?
I always wanted to teach, but my parents discouraged it. While I was working on my doctorate in economics, I got dropped in the deep end. Georgia State needed someone to teach an honors micro class. I was in over my head. Practice helped me get better.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've mainly worked with college students, but I've also successfully worked with high school students in AP classes.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was the guest of honor at Clayton State's College of Business' awards. It was amazing to meet former students who were graduating and who had kind words for me.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First, find someone as soon as possible when you start to struggle. Then, make sure you have pen and paper handy. It's a hands on type of course.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What topics and problems are you having trouble with? Be specific with chapter names, so you can focus. Also, which type of course are you taking (micro, .macro, introductory, other)?
