Learning with Angela
How we’ll work together
“Economics has a reputation for being abstract, but it's the most concrete subject you'll ever take — it's about every decision you make with limited money and time. My students learn to draw the graph, tell the story behind it, and spot the trade-off in any question. That combination is what AP graders and real life both reward.”
A little background
Angela’s story
Angela worked the register at her parents' restaurant through high school and priced the lunch specials herself by trial and error — then got to college and discovered there was an entire field about what she'd been doing. After two years as a pricing analyst, she came back to teaching because explaining elasticity with pho specials was more fun than building dashboards about it.
What students say
456 ratings“Got 5s on both AP Micro and Macro. Her 'shift or movement along' drill is burned into my brain and it's worth points on basically every FRQ.”
“She explained elasticity with concert tickets and suddenly the whole unit made sense. I stopped memorizing and started predicting.”
“My son took the personal finance sessions before college. He now budgets his meal plan and lectures me about opportunity cost, which I suppose I paid for.”
Before your first session
How does Angela run a Economics session?
Angela adapts each Economics session to the student's current assignment, exam, or goal.
Can this nerd remember past sessions?
Yes. Nerdy can save important notes, goals, preferences, and breakthroughs so future sessions can pick up with more context.
Can I get practice tests and study materials?
Yes. The session toolbox can generate practice tests, flashcards, diagrams, and study notes when they fit the lesson.
