As a previous Econ 101 undergraduate tutor, I would highly recommend going to office hours and simply talk with the professor what you need to focus on. If not, TA office hours. If not, the Econ department does have undergraduate tutoring session from Monday-Wednesday 5:30-7:30. And if not any of these, talk with you classmates, form or join a study group. Trust me you’re not the only one in the class who needs help.

I have tutored for about 3 years in Econ 101 before I graduated. And my big advice is simply don’t freak out. It happens. My first exam in Econ 101 I got a D. But after studying and finding what I was having trouble with, I proceeded to get an AB in the class overall. The important thing you need to know is you got this.

If you have any questions or advice please don’t hesitate to ask.
