I am always looking for new approaches to benefit every student better.

I am a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles- Letters of Science department. I received my Bachelor's in biological sciences in June 2020. While in school, I worked part-time as an Accounts Payable Assistant for the library business services and I volunteered a lot of my time providing assistance to hospitalized geriatric populations at UCLA medical center. I was also part of a free clinic community where I provided preventive medicine advice and performed glucose and blood pressure exams on the medically underserved communities in South Los Angeles. In addition, as part of a Peer Mentorship Program, I guided incoming freshmen in getting adjusted to the college environment and provided resources for academic services available on campus. Since graduation, I have worked as an Accounts Receivable Specialist, tutored students on Upchieve and Junior Achievement online platforms, and improved my learning and organizational skills using skillshare. While I am interested in tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching Science, Math, and English. I am a strong advocate for education and I truly believe in the power of collaborative learning and helping students achieve their academic goals. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, going on hikes, and participating in volleyball and badminton matches!
Present value, risk-return tradeoffs, capital structure — finance is where economic theory meets real decision-making. Ryan's economics degree provides the quantitative and conceptual backbone these topics require, and he's comfortable walking through everything from time-value-of-money calculations to interpreting financial statements. He holds a 5.0 rating from students.
Time value of money calculations — present value, future value, NPV — trip students up because the formulas look similar but apply to very different decisions. Mustafa unpacks each one by tying it to a concrete scenario, like evaluating a loan or comparing investment options, so the math has context. His cross-disciplinary background in economics and law gives him a practical lens on corporate finance and capital budgeting topics.
Elliot is heading into financial markets after graduating from UChicago's economics program, so concepts like time value of money, portfolio theory, and capital structure aren't abstract textbook topics for him — they're the tools of his upcoming career. He unpacks financial models step by step, connecting the math to real market behavior.
As a finance major at UW-Madison, Connor digs into concepts like time value of money, discounted cash flows, and portfolio risk in his own coursework every week. He explains financial models by connecting the math to real decision-making — why a company chooses one capital structure over another, or how interest rate changes ripple through bond pricing.
Time value of money, capital budgeting, and risk-return tradeoffs aren't just textbook exercises for Benjamin — they were core to his Finance degree at Notre Dame. He connects formulas like NPV and IRR to real decision-making scenarios so the math carries meaning beyond the problem set. Rated 5.0 by students.
Time value of money, discounted cash flows, and risk-return tradeoffs all come down to applied math — exactly where Nikhil thrives. As a mathematics major at NYU with economics coursework, he connects financial formulas to the underlying logic so students can adapt to new problems on exams instead of relying on memorized shortcuts.
Currently working in the finance and investments industry, Hardik brings live context to topics like time value of money, DCF analysis, and capital structure decisions. He teaches the math behind NPV and IRR alongside the reasoning professionals actually use when evaluating deals, which bridges the gap between textbook formulas and how finance is practiced. Rated 5.0 by students.
Marissa's academic background sits right at the intersection of accounting, finance, and business administration, which means she can explain concepts like time value of money, capital budgeting, and financial statement analysis with real numerical fluency. She walks through problems step by step, connecting formulas to the business logic behind them so students understand when to apply each tool. Her math strength makes the quantitative side of finance far less intimidating.
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.
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.
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.
Time value of money, DCF models, capital structure — Max doesn't just teach these concepts from a textbook. He's finishing his finance degree at Ohio State and heading into investment banking in Chicago, so he walks students through valuation and corporate finance problems the way practitioners actually think about them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Finance tutoring covers a wide range of topics depending on your grade level and goals, including personal finance basics (budgeting, saving, credit), corporate finance (financial statements, valuation, capital structure), investments (stocks, bonds, portfolio management), and risk management. For high school students in Phoenix, tutoring often focuses on foundational concepts like time value of money and financial decision-making, while college-level students may dive deeper into advanced topics like derivatives, financial modeling, and corporate strategy.
Many students struggle with the mathematical foundations of finance, particularly understanding concepts like present value, compound interest, and discounting. Others find it difficult to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, or feel overwhelmed by the volume of formulas and calculations. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps by breaking down complex concepts at your pace, identifying specific gaps in understanding, and showing you how to apply finance principles to actual scenarios rather than just memorizing formulas.
In a classroom setting with Phoenix's average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1, it's challenging for teachers to address individual learning gaps or adjust pacing to your needs. Personalized tutoring focuses entirely on your learning style, current understanding, and specific goals—whether that's improving your grade, preparing for the CFA exam, or mastering a particular topic. A tutor can spend time on the concepts that confuse you most and skip material you've already mastered, making your study time far more efficient.
Your first session is designed to establish a baseline of your current knowledge and understand your specific goals. The tutor will likely assess your comfort level with key concepts, identify any foundational gaps, and learn about your learning style and preferences. From there, they'll create a personalized plan tailored to your needs—whether that's catching up on missed material, preparing for an exam, or advancing to more complex topics.
Many students see meaningful improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when working on specific problem areas like financial calculations or understanding statements. However, the timeline depends on your starting point, the complexity of the material, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Regular practice between sessions and engagement with the material significantly accelerate progress—students who actively work on problems outside of tutoring sessions typically see faster results.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in finance, which may include degrees in finance, accounting, economics, or business, as well as professional experience in banking, investment management, corporate finance, or related fields. Many tutors hold relevant certifications like the CFA, CPA, or CFP. Each tutor is selected based on their expertise in the specific areas you need help with and their ability to explain complex concepts clearly.
Yes, personalized tutoring is highly effective for exam preparation. Whether you're preparing for a college Finance course exam, AP Seminar or Capstone exams with financial components, or professional certifications like the CFA Level 1, a tutor can create a focused study plan, work through practice problems, review weak areas, and build your test-taking confidence. Tutors can also help you develop strategies for managing time during exams and understanding the specific format and expectations of the test you're taking.
Getting started is simple—connect with Varsity Tutors to be matched with a tutor who fits your needs and schedule. You'll provide information about your current level, specific topics you need help with, and your availability. From there, you'll be introduced to a qualified tutor, and you can schedule your first session. Most students find it helpful to have a clear goal in mind, whether that's improving a grade, mastering a specific concept, or preparing for an exam.
