Intensely curious, I am interested in STEM subjects and the liberal arts. I tutor to help you reach your educational goals and because it's immensely gratifying to see my students succeed.

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.
Few finance tutors can walk through discounted cash flow models, capital structure theory, and portfolio risk the way someone who actually built those models on Wall Street can. Frank spent his career as a research executive in finance before transitioning to teaching, and he brings that practitioner's lens to graduate-level topics like valuation, time value of money, and financial statement analysis.
Time value of money, present and future value calculations, annuity pricing — finance leans heavily on the kind of quantitative reasoning Irene has taught for years. She unpacks the math behind financial formulas so students understand what each variable actually does, rather than blindly plugging numbers into a calculator.
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.
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.
An economics degree provides exactly the quantitative backbone that finance concepts demand — present value calculations, risk-return tradeoffs, and interpreting financial statements all build on economic reasoning. Jessie connects these topics to the underlying models students encounter in corporate finance and investment analysis, making formulas feel purposeful rather than abstract.
Magnus earned his M.S. in Finance from UVA and now works as a Financial Analyst at an international law firm in New York. He breaks down concepts like DCF valuation, capital structure, and risk-return tradeoffs using real-world deal scenarios that make the theory click.
Time value of money, DCF analysis, capital structure — Vignesh isn't just studying these concepts, he's living them as a finance major at the University of Georgia. That proximity to the coursework means he knows exactly which formulas professors emphasize and where students typically lose points on problem sets. He breaks down financial modeling step by step so the logic behind each calculation is clear.
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.
Carl's economics degree from Uppsala University was concentrated in macroeconomics, which means he digs into finance from the system level down — interest rate mechanics, time value of money, portfolio risk, and how capital markets actually function. He connects textbook formulas like NPV and CAPM to real market behavior, making the quantitative side of finance intuitive rather than formulaic.
As a finance major in Villanova's Honors Program, Jenna digs into the concepts students find most intimidating — time value of money calculations, DCF modeling, WACC, and capital structure decisions. She connects textbook formulas to the reasoning behind them, so students can set up problems from scratch instead of hunting for which equation to plug numbers into.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with abstract financial concepts like time value of money, risk assessment, and portfolio theory—topics that require both mathematical precision and real-world application. Additionally, Finance courses often demand strong foundational skills in algebra and statistics, and students sometimes lack practical context for why these concepts matter. Personalized tutoring helps bridge these gaps by connecting theory to concrete examples and adjusting explanations to match each student's learning style.
In a classroom of 19+ students, teachers must move at an average pace, which often leaves struggling students behind or advanced learners unchallenged. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your specific gaps—whether that's understanding bond pricing, mastering financial statement analysis, or preparing for the CFA Level I exam. Tutors can also spend time on the exact topics your coursework emphasizes, rather than generic textbook coverage.
Tutors work with students across introductory personal finance, corporate finance, investments, financial accounting, managerial accounting, and advanced topics like derivatives and portfolio management. Whether you're taking a high school business course, a college-level Finance major requirement, or preparing for professional certifications (CFA, FRM, or CFP), Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in your specific curriculum and learning goals.
Your first session is a diagnostic conversation where the tutor learns about your current level, specific challenges, and goals—whether that's improving your grade, mastering a difficult unit, or preparing for an exam. The tutor will assess your understanding of foundational concepts and discuss how to structure future sessions for maximum progress. This personalized approach ensures every session builds directly on your needs.
Many students notice clearer understanding within 2-3 sessions, especially when tutoring targets specific weak areas like financial ratio analysis or present value calculations. Measurable grade improvement typically follows within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused tutoring. The timeline depends on your starting point, the complexity of topics you're tackling, and how frequently you meet with your tutor.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in Finance—including degree holders in Finance, Accounting, Economics, and Business, as well as professionals with real-world experience in banking, investment management, or financial analysis. Many tutors have passed professional certifications or hold advanced degrees, ensuring they understand both academic coursework and practical applications.
Yes. Tutors work with students preparing for college-level Finance exams, AP Macroeconomics and Microeconomics, and professional certifications like the CFA, FRM, and CFP. They focus on high-yield topics, practice problem-solving under time pressure, and build confidence in areas where you typically struggle. Personalized exam prep is far more efficient than generic test prep because tutors target your specific weak points.
Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience level, your specific needs, and how frequently you meet. Varsity Tutors works with you to find tutors at different price points and can discuss package options that fit your budget. Most students benefit from starting with 1-2 sessions per week and adjusting based on progress and upcoming deadlines.
