Award-Winning Finance Tutors
serving Fayetteville, NC

I am Professor Florence. I teach at USC, UCSB, Pepperdine University, CSUN, Cal Tech, and other Universities. I received my bachelor's in Math and Psychology at UCLA, Ph.D. work in Engineering at Virginia Tech, and MBA in Marketing and New Venture Management at USC. I graduated at the top of my class, Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude, Highest Honors, full fellowships, and more. I am an expert on:

Michael's dual background in mathematics and finance means he doesn't just teach formulas like time value of money or CAPM — he unpacks the quantitative logic underneath them. From discounted cash flow analysis to portfolio risk calculations, he connects each concept to both the math and the real-world decision it informs.

Few finance tutors can walk through discounted cash flow models, capital structure theory, and portfolio risk the way someone who actually built those models on Wall Street can. Frank spent his career as a research executive in finance before transitioning to teaching, and he brings that practitioner's lens to graduate-level topics like valuation, time value of money, and financial statement analysis.

Maria approaches finance through the quantitative lens her Applied Mathematics background provides, breaking down concepts like time value of money, DCF analysis, and risk-return tradeoffs with real numerical rigor. She's particularly effective at walking through the math behind valuation models that trip up students who came to finance from a non-quantitative path.

A master's in Finance means Alex can dig into time value of money calculations, capital budgeting, and portfolio theory with real fluency — not just textbook definitions. He connects financial models to how actual firms make investment and funding decisions, which makes concepts like WACC and DCF analysis click faster.

Time value of money, capital budgeting, WACC, portfolio risk — finance courses pile on quantitative concepts fast, and falling behind on one topic cascades into the next. Hari earned his MBA with a finance concentration and applies that depth to walk through DCF models, ratio analysis, and valuation methods with the precision students need to solve problems confidently on exams.

Three decades of market research for private clients gives Stephen a practitioner's grasp of financial concepts — from discounted cash flow and capital budgeting to portfolio risk analysis. He teaches finance the way it actually gets used: building models, interpreting real data, and connecting textbook theory to how firms and investors make decisions. He holds a PhD in Economics from Rice and a 4.9 rating from students.

Time value of money, net present value, risk-return tradeoffs — finance is applied economics, and that's exactly where Nadine's strengths converge. She tackles problems like bond pricing and capital budgeting by first making sure students understand the underlying economic intuition before diving into formulas. Her Macalester economics training keeps sessions grounded in real-world reasoning rather than rote calculation.

Pursuing a joint MD/MBA, Sagar brings a quantitative rigor to finance topics like time value of money, capital budgeting, and ratio analysis that many business-only tutors lack. He walks through problems by building intuition around why formulas work, so students can adapt when exam questions change the setup.

Running a startup means David lives finance daily — building cash flow projections, valuing equity, and weighing capital structure decisions in real time. His UChicago MBA gave him the theoretical framework, but it's the hands-on work with DCF models, ratio analysis, and funding rounds that makes his explanations concrete and grounded.

Holding an MBA in Finance, Darien digs into the mechanics behind concepts like time value of money, capital budgeting, and portfolio risk rather than just walking through formulas. He connects each topic to real decision-making — why a company chooses debt over equity, or how discount rates change an investment's attractiveness. Students walk away understanding the reasoning that drives financial models, not just the spreadsheet outputs.

Having earned his B.A. in Finance from UGA, Jon studied the core curriculum — financial statement analysis, corporate valuation, and capital markets — firsthand rather than picking it up secondarily through adjacent fields. He teaches budgeting frameworks and ratio analysis by connecting each concept back to the accounting and statistics coursework that underpins them, giving students a clearer picture of how the pieces fit together.

Intensely curious, I am interested in STEM subjects and the liberal arts. I tutor to help you reach your educational goals and because it's immensely gratifying to see my students succeed.
