Chat With UsGame theory shows up in a lot of different syllabi, and "a game theory tutor" means something different depending on which one you're enrolled in. This page helps you find an online game theory tutor whose teaching background matches your course — whether that's an economics honours paper, an MBA elective, a GATE/NPTEL module, or a self-study project — and connect with them directly through FindMyGuru.
Unlike a school subject with one fixed curriculum, game theory learners in India tend to fall into a handful of distinct groups, and each needs a slightly different kind of tutor.
Several Indian universities, including Delhi University's B.A. (Hons) Economics programme, offer Game Theory as a core or elective paper covering Nash equilibrium, dominant and mixed strategies, and normal-form versus extensive-form games. Students here usually need a tutor comfortable with the specific textbook and problem-set style their university follows — not just the general theory.
Game theory turns up as a strategy/decision-science elective in many MBA programmes, and strategic-thinking questions inspired by it occasionally surface in case-based interview prep. These learners tend to want applied, business-context teaching over heavy notation.
IITs and other engineering institutes run electives like Applied Game Theory and algorithmic game theory, connecting the subject to auction design, network routing, and multi-agent AI systems. This crowd usually wants a tutor who can bridge the math with code or algorithmic thinking.
For those with Economics as an optional subject, game theory concepts occasionally feature in the analytical and policy-application sections, and a tutor who can connect theory to real-world policy examples is valuable here.
Game theory also appears in IB and A-Level Economics (Edexcel, AQA, OCR) syllabi, plus a growing number of curious self-learners exploring it through NPTEL or MOOCs who want a human to walk through the trickier proofs.
Picking well matters more here than for most subjects, because "game theory" can mean pure mathematics, applied economics, or computational strategy depending on who's teaching it. A few things worth checking before you commit:
Match the tutor's background to your syllabus. Ask directly whether they've taught your specific paper, textbook, or exam board before — a tutor strong in microeconomics-flavoured game theory may not be the right fit for an algorithmic/CS-heavy course, and vice versa.
Ask for a sample problem walkthrough. A good tutor should be able to work through a Nash equilibrium or dominant-strategy problem live, on a shared whiteboard, in a trial session — not just talk about the topic in the abstract.
Check how doubts get resolved between sessions. Game theory problem sets often throw up questions mid-week; ask whether the tutor offers chat support or a quick follow-up call outside scheduled classes.
Confirm the online teaching setup. Look for tutors comfortable with a digital whiteboard, screen-sharing, and recorded sessions for revision — plain video-call-only teaching makes it harder to work through payoff matrices and game trees.
Look at experience level and student feedback, not just years of tutoring in general, but specifically in game theory or a closely related quantitative subject.
Regardless of which stream a student comes from, most well-structured online game theory courses move through a similar core: strategic-form and extensive-form games, dominant strategies and iterated elimination, Nash equilibrium (pure and mixed strategy), zero-sum versus non-zero-sum games, and cooperative versus non-cooperative frameworks. From there, courses branch into applications — oligopoly and market behaviour for economics students, auction design and mechanism design for engineering and CS learners, or bargaining and voting theory for policy-focused students. A tutor worth booking should be able to tell you, before the first class, roughly where your course sits on this map.
Online game theory tutoring on FindMyGuru comes in a few formats. One-to-one sessions work best when you're prepping for a specific exam paper or need pacing built around your own gaps. Small-batch classes suit students who want peer discussion, useful for working through strategic scenarios where multiple viewpoints help. Some tutors also offer recorded sessions for revision closer to exams, particularly helpful for the more notation-heavy proofs.
Fees for online game theory tutoring vary depending on the tutor's academic background, whether the sessions are one-to-one or batch, and how exam-specific the coaching is — a tutor preparing you for a university paper with past-year problem sets will typically charge differently than one offering a general conceptual overview. Rather than quote a fixed number, we'd suggest treating listed rates on tutor profiles as an indicative starting point and confirming the exact fee structure, including whether it covers doubt-clearing support, directly with the tutor during your trial conversation.
FindMyGuru lists tutor profiles with their subject specialisations, teaching experience, and the specific skills they cover — so you can see at a glance whether a tutor's background leans toward economics, computer science, or pure mathematics before you reach out. You can compare multiple profiles side by side, message tutors directly without a platform commission eating into your budget, and read what previous students have said about their teaching style. If you're not sure where to start, our team can also help match you to a tutor based on your course, budget, and schedule.
Related skills worth exploring alongside game theory include our pages for Python Programming tutors — useful if your course leans into computational/algorithmic game theory — and our Digital Marketing tutors page for those exploring strategy-adjacent business skills. If you'd like a broader view of online-only tutors across every subject, our Online Tutors hub is a good next stop.
If you're a student, browse verified tutor profiles, filter by experience and background, and book a trial class before committing to a full course. If you teach game theory — whether from an economics, engineering, or applied-math background — you can list your profile on FindMyGuru and start receiving direct enquiries from students searching for exactly your kind of expertise.

Yes, provided the tutor uses tools suited to it — a shared digital whiteboard and screen-sharing make it possible to work through payoff matrices and game trees just as clearly as in person. What matters more than the medium is whether the tutor checks your understanding at each step rather than lecturing straight through.
Not necessarily. Game theory is taught across economics, mathematics, computer science, and management programmes, each with a different entry point. A tutor who understands your specific course will pitch the material at the right starting level regardless of your prior background.
Many tutors on FindMyGuru have taught specific university papers before, including Game Theory as offered in B.A. (Hons) Economics programmes. It's worth confirming this directly with a tutor during your trial class, since problem-set style varies noticeably between universities.
It can be, particularly where a programme includes game theory as a strategy or decision-science elective, or where case-based interview prep touches on strategic reasoning. These sessions usually lean more applied and business-context-driven than a pure economics or math course would.
Fees depend on the tutor's background, whether sessions are one-to-one or in a batch, and how exam-specific the coaching is. Treat the rate on a tutor's profile as a starting point and confirm the exact structure with the tutor directly.
