About your economics tutor
Hello and welcome to Economics! My name is Austin Simms and my goal is to have students understanding and apply economic concerns to real-world situations. Ultimately, the students will be able to take what they have learned and improve their quality of life. I strive to help students achieve their goals by making decisions based on logic, reason, and application of the course material. This includes becoming a more well-rounded person. I want the students to be able to use what they have learned to their benefit. An understanding of how the world operates economically not only on a personal level but on a global scale leads to better decision making skills. Student success is teacher success!

Economics class overview
As an Economics tutor for school students, I believe in making learning practical and engaging. My teaching style involves using real-world examples and interactive discussions to help students understand complex economic concepts. I encourage strategic thinking by relating economic theories to students' interests, such as their favorite companies or markets. By analyzing case studies and economic models, I create lessons that connect theoretical concepts to current global economic trends. I tailor my approach based on each student's grasp of economic principles, incorporating relevant case studies to enhance their learning experience.

Economics concept taught by Austin
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.
GDP Components
Comparative Advantage
Law of Supply
Determinants of Demand
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.
MPS (Marginal Propensity to Save)
GDP Deflator
Real vs. Nominal GDP
Short Run Aggregate Supply (SRAS)
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.
Propensity to Consume/Save
Business Cycle
Economic Indicators
Monetary vs. Fiscal Policy
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.
Currency Depreciation & Exports
Trade Imbalance Correction
Currency Manipulation
Currency Appreciation & Exports
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.
Loanable Funds Market
Interest Rates & Borrowing
Government Borrowing & Crowding Out
Equilibrium in LFM
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.
Fishing (Phishing)
Security Threats
Acceptable Terms of Trade
Gains from Trade
