Award-Winning Finance Tutors serving Tempe, AZ

I've been an entrepreneur, business consultant, and faculty member for over 16 years. My credentials include being a CPA with a Juris Doctor, Master of Accountancy, and Bachelor of Science in Business. My greatest strengths are being a good listener, creating strategy, and following through. I'm empathetic, but I don't back down from excuses because I know that within every "can't" is a "can". I admire truth and transparency.

Resistance fosters resilience. When we push through the mental fog together, we gain the tools necessary to succeed in academics and in life. Let's go!

Outside of academia, I love sports and outdoor recreation. I play basketball at least once a week and enjoy hiking,...

...perfect. People learn in different ways, and sitting in a classroom isn't always going to allow for optimal learning conditions. That's where I come in. By tutoring, myself and others are able to directly work with individuals until comprehension, understanding, and eureka moments abound. I am personally most interested in languages, math, history, literature, music, all forms of art, scientific investigation of the universe, and games which allow for a creative and competitive outlet. Let's...
