Award-Winning Finance Tutors
serving Indianapolis, IN

I am an author of two Personal Finance books Women and Money and The Value Book and a historical book, Indiana Avenue Life and Musical Journey from 1915 to 2015.

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.

Having worked as a summer associate at a major New York law firm, Patrick encountered corporate finance concepts — capital structure, valuation, risk assessment — in their natural habitat rather than just in a textbook. He unpacks topics like time value of money, DCF analysis, and portfolio theory by connecting the math to the business decisions behind it. His dual background in law and history also gives him a useful lens on financial regulation and market behavior.

Time value of money, discounted cash flow, and capital structure decisions are concepts Idara uses in her actual career — she's spent years in the finance industry after completing her MS in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford. She unpacks formulas like NPV and IRR by connecting them to real investment decisions, making the math feel purposeful instead of arbitrary.

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.

Kaela's background spans financial accounting and economics, which means she can connect finance concepts like time value of money, risk-return tradeoffs, and capital budgeting to the broader economic logic behind them. She breaks down quantitative problems step by step while making sure students understand the real-world decisions those numbers represent. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying finance at the University of Illinois's College of Business, Jonathan unpacks concepts like time value of money, net present value, and basic portfolio theory with concrete, numbers-driven examples. He reads the Wall Street Journal daily, which means he can tie textbook formulas to what's actually happening in markets right now.

An economics degree provides exactly the quantitative backbone that finance concepts demand — present value calculations, risk-return tradeoffs, and interpreting financial statements all build on economic reasoning. Jessie connects these topics to the underlying models students encounter in corporate finance and investment analysis, making formulas feel purposeful rather than abstract.

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.

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.

A chemistry background might seem unrelated to finance, but Ankit's heavy quantitative training — differential equations, statistics, and data modeling — maps directly onto the math that drives concepts like compound interest, bond pricing, and amortization schedules. He approaches financial formulas the way a scientist approaches equations: by breaking each variable down until the underlying logic is clear, not just memorized.

Conor earned his finance degree alongside his math degree at the University of Pittsburgh, so he tackles topics like discounted cash flow, portfolio theory, and capital structure with real mathematical fluency. He connects the formulas to the logic behind them, which makes valuation models and risk analysis click instead of feeling like rote plug-and-chug.

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.
