Award-Winning Finance Tutors
serving Fayetteville, NC

I am Professor Florence. I teach at USC, UCSB, Pepperdine University, CSUN, Cal Tech, and other Universities. I received my bachelor's in Math and Psychology at UCLA, Ph.D. work in Engineering at Virginia Tech, and MBA in Marketing and New Venture Management at USC. I graduated at the top of my class, Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude, Highest Honors, full fellowships, and more. I am an expert on:

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.

I love helping students in topics related to math, to finance (public and private equity) and to engineering. I believe that if I can't explain concept, then I don't understand it. By that same token, if a student can't explain a concept back to me, then they don't understand it even if they say they do. I believe in getting to know all students, as their background is intricately connected with how they learn.

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.

I'm a graduate of Robert Morris University where I earned my BSBA in Economics and Finance. After graduating from RMU I attended Johns Hopkins University where I earned my MA in Applied Economics. My interests lie in the fields of banking, energy, healthcare, and public policy.

Time value of money, net present value, and capital budgeting all rely on the same core math — but finance courses layer on terminology that can obscure the underlying calculations. Rahi's triple engineering background means he's comfortable with the quantitative side and can quickly show students how to set up cash flow diagrams, discount rates, and amortization schedules from scratch.

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.

Time value of money, net present value, risk-return tradeoffs — finance is applied economics, and that's exactly where Nadine's strengths converge. She tackles problems like bond pricing and capital budgeting by first making sure students understand the underlying economic intuition before diving into formulas. Her Macalester economics training keeps sessions grounded in real-world reasoning rather than rote calculation.

Victor doesn't just study finance in a classroom — he's applied it through summer internships at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey and Moelis & Company, two firms where financial modeling, valuation, and capital structure analysis are daily work. That real-world context lets him ground concepts like time value of money, DCF analysis, and ratio interpretation in how they're actually used on the job.

As a finance major at Ohio State, Christopher doesn't just teach formulas like NPV and CAPM — he unpacks the logic behind them so students understand when and why each tool applies. Whether the topic is capital budgeting, risk-return tradeoffs, or reading a cash flow statement, he ties concepts back to actual business decisions. That grounding in practical application makes even the most formula-heavy chapters easier to internalize.

Studying finance at NYU Stern means Sean tackles concepts like DCF modeling, capital structure, and portfolio theory in his own coursework every week. He breaks down topics such as time value of money and financial statement analysis by tying them to real company data, making abstract formulas feel grounded. His accounting background adds depth when sessions touch on how financial reports drive investment decisions.

As a Finance major at NYU — one of the top undergraduate business programs in the country — Eric digs into time value of money, DCF valuation, capital structure, and portfolio theory every day. He translates dense quantitative concepts into intuitive explanations, and his statistics training means he's equally comfortable with the Excel modeling and probability work that finance courses demand.

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.
