Certified Tutor

Your Go-To Tutor in Finance and Test Preparation

The Academic Foundation: A Degree from NYU Stern
Having graduated from New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business, I hold a BS in Business with co-concentrations in Finance and Data Science. My academic journey was marked by a strong performance, reflected in a GPA of 3.8. This academic excellence isn't new; it's a continuation of my high school days when I scored a 34 on the ACT.

At NYU, my coursework was a deep dive into various sectors of finance including Financial Statement Analysis, Advanced Corporate Finance, and more. This foundational education has equipped me well to tutor students in finance, offering them academic insights that are both broad and deep.

In the Trenches: Real-World Financial Experience

My foray into the professional world has been equally enriching. As a Summer Analyst in Private Equity at Unitex Investment Holdings, I was entrusted with significant responsibilities such as conducting due diligence and valuing portfolio companies. My role was key in facilitating decision-making for projects with valuations exceeding $50 million.

Another summer with Goldey Capital in Private Wealth Management saw me creating statistical models to price lifelong education costs for over 50 clients. These experiences have given me a robust understanding of practical finance, invaluable knowledge that I'm keen to pass on to the next generation of finance professionals.

Leadership and Mentoring: Beyond the Classroom
My leadership skills are demonstrated through my tenure as the Vice President of NYU's Fintech Society, where I spearheaded a 400% increase in membership. My work with the NYU Investment Analysis Group further honed my skills in market trends and valuation techniques, providing a well-rounded view of the financial landscape.

Skills and Tools: Equipping the Modern Finance Student
My technical skills make me uniquely qualified to tutor in today's data-driven finance world. With advanced proficiency in tools like Microsoft Office Suite, Bloomberg Terminal, JavaScript, HTML, and SQL, I can offer students a comprehensive tutoring experience, covering both the theoretical and the technical.

Community Engagement and Beyond: A Holistic Approach

My experience extends beyond finance. As a Consultant for NYU Stern's Coronavirus Response Fellowship, I led a team to optimize food distribution across charities, revealing my ability to solve complex logistical problems with data-driven strategies.

Global Perspective: Bilingual Capabilities

Being a native English speaker with conversational skills in Farsi, I also offer a multicultural perspective, understanding the unique challenges that international students may encounter.

Balancing Life: Personal Interests

Outside the confines of academics and professional life, I find balance through hiking, cycling, and basketball. I believe in a well-rounded life and impart the same philosophy to my students, understanding that test preparation is but one part of a fulfilling life journey.

With a strong academic background, real-world financial experience, and a passion for mentorship and community service, I am well-suited to guide students in both finance and test preparation. Whether you're struggling with complex financial models or aiming to ace standardized tests, you'll find in me an expert tutor ready to assist you every step of the way.
