I need to hire a economics tutor over the internet (chiefly
macroeconomics).  Long-term.

I am aware of a couple of websites that discuss economics and even
have forums, but often when I post a real nitty-gritty question there,
nobody can or will take the time to answer it.  Or when an answer
appears it's either too late in coming or wrong.

I need a quality web/email based tutor who will respond to me quickly
and correctly regarding my economics questions, and I am willing to pay
well for this service.  Naturally the correspondence would have to be
conducted largely through email.

But where can I go?  I have no idea where such "tutors" would even
advertise, or how they would even describe themselves.

Your job, as Google researcher, is to give me a list of sites and
suggestions that would make such an arrangment possible.

Note:  this is for college-level introductory and intermediate macro
and micro economics, so the tutor can't just be a highschool teacher,
as some sites have.  The math can get quite involved, so ideally this
would be a graduate student in economics.

Hmmmm.  Be patient a bit, please.

I've contacted these guys to see if they could do the tutoring at my
level, but they haven't responded.

Still waiting.

Okay, I think that's all that can be done on this end.

These guys, I don't know about them.  It doesn't seem like English is
their first language.

However, I did a good deal of searching on the internet and the only
tutors I could find couldn't handle macroeconomics at the level these
guys profess to be able to.  Impressive that you were able to find
them.

Anyhow, I've managed to solve the matter in an entirely different way,
so we can consider the question closed.

Thanks for your help again!

I failed to offer you a link to another service I saved for you.

Alpha Tutors

Yeah, this was hard.  I've been looking for months myself, which is
why I offered kinda a high price:  I needed the info and I was sick of
looking.

As for the guys whose link you first gave, I don't know about them. 
They seem kinda fly-by-nighty:  their website is a lot slicker than
their product, if you know what I mean.

The way I finally solved it was by going directly to the economics
departments of big universities and asking them to post a job for
graduate students on their bulletin board.

That did the trick, rather quickly.

But thanks anyhow.
