Award-Winning Finance Tutors
serving Phoenix, AZ

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!

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.

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 is the single idea that unlocks most of finance, from discounted cash flow analysis to bond pricing to loan amortization. Jim's economics degree gave him deep fluency with these quantitative tools, and he teaches students to set up and interpret financial models rather than just plugging numbers into formulas. Rated 5.0 by students.

Joyce is finishing her Finance degree at Penn, which means concepts like DCF modeling, capital structure, and portfolio theory aren't abstract textbook topics for her — they're problems she works through weekly. She breaks down the math behind valuation and risk analysis so the formulas actually make intuitive sense.

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.

Time value of money, discounted cash flow, and portfolio risk calculations all sit at the intersection of math and real-world decision-making — exactly where Xihao's training lives. His graduate-level statistics background means he can unpack the quantitative models behind corporate finance and investment analysis, not just walk through formulas.

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.

Rosie holds a bachelor's degree in finance, so concepts like time value of money, capital structure, and financial statement analysis aren't abstract textbook topics for her — they're the foundation of her academic training. She walks through valuation models and ratio analysis step by step, connecting the math to the business logic behind each calculation.

Political science trained Reid to think about how institutions, incentives, and policy shape economic outcomes — a lens that translates well to finance topics like risk assessment, time value of money, and capital allocation. He approaches financial concepts methodically, breaking formulas into the logic behind them rather than treating them as black boxes.

Few finance tutors can draw on both a Duke economics and computer science background and hands-on experience at a Fortune 500 company. Sami breaks down concepts like discounted cash flow, capital structure, and risk-return tradeoffs by grounding them in the real corporate decisions he's encountered in consulting and in his Yale MBA coursework.

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.

A double accounting degree gives Tony the financial statement fluency that underpins every finance concept — from time value of money calculations to capital budgeting and ratio analysis. He connects finance theory back to the underlying accounting data, so students actually understand where the numbers come from before learning what to do with them.
