Andrew
BA Amherst College
13+ Years Tutoring

An English degree might seem like an unlikely path into finance, but Andrew's economics tutoring experience and strong quantitative instincts — evidenced by a 1560 SAT and 35 ACT — mean he's comfortable breaking down the math that underpins topics like compound interest, loan amortization, and basic valuation. He approaches finance the way a careful reader approaches a text: pulling apart each component to see how the pieces fit together, which is especially useful for students who find purely formula-driven instruction hard to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand your current level, specific goals, and any challenges you're facing—whether that's mastering financial statements, understanding investment concepts, or preparing for an exam. The tutor will ask diagnostic questions to identify knowledge gaps and create a personalized learning plan tailored to your needs. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds on what you actually need to learn.

Many students struggle with connecting abstract financial concepts to real-world applications, particularly with topics like time value of money, financial ratio analysis, and investment valuation. Others find the mathematical foundations challenging or feel overwhelmed by the volume of terminology and formulas. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific pain points by breaking complex ideas into digestible pieces and using examples relevant to your interests and goals.

In a classroom with a 14.4:1 student-teacher ratio, instructors must pace lessons for the average student, leaving some behind and others unchallenged. Personalized tutoring adapts in real-time to your learning speed, learning style, and specific weak areas. A tutor can spend extra time on concepts you find difficult, skip material you've already mastered, and use examples that connect to your career interests or academic goals.

Students typically see improvements in their ability to analyze financial statements, solve complex problems accurately and quickly, and explain financial concepts clearly on exams or assignments.

A tutor can identify which concepts you've mastered and which need reinforcement, create targeted practice plans focused on high-value topics, and teach you exam-specific strategies like time management and problem-solving approaches.
