Bio
I’ve loved economics since my very first microeconomics course but I realize not everyone feels the same. Since that first course, I’ve gone on to get a Master’s degree in economics and both my understanding and appreciation of economics has grown. Today I teach to share that love and to help others understand and appreciate economics.
I hold a Master's of Economics from Portland State University and a Master's of Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University. I also completed my PhD...
I’ve loved economics since my very first microeconomics course but I realize not everyone feels the same. Since that first course, I’ve gone on to get a Master’s degree in economics and both my understanding and appreciation of economics has grown. Today I teach to share that love and to help others understand and appreciate economics.
I hold a Master's of Economics from Portland State University and a Master's of Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University. I also completed my PhD coursework in Economics and passed my general exams at the University of Washington.
My professional background includes over 15 years of classroom and online university-level teaching experience. This is combined with 8 years of industry experience. This unique background means I understand both how economics works in the real world and how to teach that to others.
There are three main components to economics -- the mathematics, the graphs, and the intuition. While the mathematics and the graphs are interesting, I believe the intuition is the most important. Grasping the intuition of economics will help build a solid foundation for understanding the other components.
Whether it is macroeconomics, microeconomics or econometrics you don’t have to struggle alone! Economics can be straight forward, once you learn the language and the intuition. I don’t promise to turn you into an economist but I do promise to help you understand economics better. I am here to help and look forward to hearing from you.

Knowledgeable and patient
Eric and I worked on a problem set in healthcare. It was a short notice but Eric took his time to review all the questions and thoroughly solved each problem with me. He asked me counter questions so I can think deeply about problem solving and taught me a lot of skills within a short period of time. I really appreciated his kindness and patience.

Best Tutor on Wyzant
Eric is extremely knowledgeable with college level intermediate macroeconomics from my experience! Even faced with harder concepts that are outlined very basically on a lecture slide, he simply needs a few seconds to come up with a logical and extremely helpful explanation! He is a big reason I aced two of my exams in the hardest Econ course I've taken to date. He is by far the best tutor I've had on Wyzant, not to mention, he is incredibly patient and kind to his students!
