Economics Student Association (ESA)
Students in Economics 101 or 102 may receive free, one-on-one tutoring through the ESA. The service is "walk-in" only and students are advised to think through their questions before coming in for help. This is an excellent service since many private tutors charge $10-$25 per hour; AAP has also experienced a shortage of econ tutors over the past year.
