Mr. Leroy Simms conducted a comprehensive review session with Ashley Sutherland, utilizing a PowerPoint presentation to cover key macroeconomic concepts in preparation for her upcoming exam. Topics included supply and demand, GDP, unemployment, and fiscal/monetary policy. Mr. Simms sent the presentation to Ashley and offered to provide additional materials as needed.

On June 11, 2025, Mr. Simms tutored Ashley Sutherland in macroeconomics, covering MPC, MPS, GDP deflator, nominal vs. real GDP, and aggregate supply and demand (short-run and long-run). They reviewed practice questions on aggregate demand, focusing on factors that shift the curve versus movements along it. They also discussed Ashley's upcoming final exam and scheduled future tutoring sessions.

Mr. Leroy Simms and Ashley Sutherland discussed the business cycle, economic indicators, and Keynesian economics. Simms explained fiscal and monetary policies and the Keynesian multiplier effect. They planned to cover marginal propensity to consume and save in the next session, and Simms offered Ashley practice questions for her upcoming exam.

On May 30, 2025, Mr. Simms tutored Ashley Sutherland on foreign exchange, covering fixed and flexible exchange rates, currency appreciation/depreciation, and their impact on trade. He explained how currency manipulation, like China buying US dollars, affects trade balances. He also discussed how trade imbalances lead to currency fluctuations and eventual equilibrium. They reviewed a practice question on fixed exchange rates and inflation, and planned the next lesson on the short-run money market and macroeconomic policies for June 4th, while also addressing a login issue.

Mr. Simms and Ashley Sutherland discussed the loanable funds market, covering the roles of lenders and borrowers, the influence of interest rates, government borrowing and crowding out, and market equilibrium. They also detailed shifts in supply and demand, the impact of government fiscal policy, and the difference between real and nominal interest rates. Mr. Simms announced that there would likely be a quiz on the loanable funds market at the beginning of the next class, and the next session will cover exchange rates.

Leroy Simms tutored Ashley Sutherland in economics, initially focusing on comparative advantage and gains from trade using examples of lemon drops/boxes and shirts/pants. He explained opportunity cost, specialization, and mutually beneficial trade prices. The session then mistakenly shifted to information security threats before correcting back to economics, specifically the loanable funds market. Simms also warned Ashley about phishing and requested the economics module titles to better prepare for future sessions. They scheduled their next meeting, accounting for a rescheduling conflict.
