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.

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.
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.
I am an experienced teacher with over 7 years' experience teaching a variety of ages and subjects. My areas of expertise include ESL, writing, music, and the general education curriculum. Outside of teaching, I spend my free time hiking, reading, doing yoga, and playing with my dog. I look forward to working with you!
I am a writer who works extensively with historical documents and researcher who embraces learning for life. I love making a subject engaging, interesting and ultimately seeing others succeed in their endeavors.
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.
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, discounted cash flow, and capital structure decisions are concepts Idara uses in her actual career — she's spent years in the finance industry after completing her MS in Management Science & Engineering at Stanford. She unpacks formulas like NPV and IRR by connecting them to real investment decisions, making the math feel purposeful instead of arbitrary.
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.
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.
Maria approaches finance through the quantitative lens her Applied Mathematics background provides, breaking down concepts like time value of money, DCF analysis, and risk-return tradeoffs with real numerical rigor. She's particularly effective at walking through the math behind valuation models that trip up students who came to finance from a non-quantitative path.
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.
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.
Marissa's academic background sits right at the intersection of accounting, finance, and business administration, which means she can explain concepts like time value of money, capital budgeting, and financial statement analysis with real numerical fluency. She walks through problems step by step, connecting formulas to the business logic behind them so students understand when to apply each tool. Her math strength makes the quantitative side of finance far less intimidating.
Kaela's background spans financial accounting and economics, which means she can connect finance concepts like time value of money, risk-return tradeoffs, and capital budgeting to the broader economic logic behind them. She breaks down quantitative problems step by step while making sure students understand the real-world decisions those numbers represent. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am certified in the state of Florida to teach Middle Grades Mathematics 5-9. I have a bachelors degree in Finance and Masters degree in Sustainable Real Estate Development from Tulane University. I previously worked in real estate for two years prior to moving to Miami and was involved as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters for much of that time.
