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I am a writer who works extensively with historical documents and researcher who embraces learning for life.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.
Three decades of market research for private clients gives Stephen a practitioner's grasp of financial concepts — from discounted cash flow and capital budgeting to portfolio risk analysis. He teaches finance the way it actually gets used: building models, interpreting real data, and connecting textbook theory to how firms and investors make decisions. He holds a PhD in Economics from Rice and a 4.9 rating from students.
Currently working in the finance and investments industry, Hardik brings live context to topics like time value of money, DCF analysis, and capital structure decisions. He teaches the math behind NPV and IRR alongside the reasoning professionals actually use when evaluating deals, which bridges the gap between textbook formulas and how finance is practiced. Rated 5.0 by students.
Few finance tutors can draw on both a Duke economics and computer science background and hands-on experience at a Fortune 500 company. Sami breaks down concepts like discounted cash flow, capital structure, and risk-return tradeoffs by grounding them in the real corporate decisions he's encountered in consulting and in his Yale MBA coursework.
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.
Alex co-majored in Finance and International Business, which means topics like foreign exchange risk, cross-border capital flows, and multinational financial planning weren't electives — they were the core of his degree. He teaches financial concepts by linking them to the global business context that makes them relevant, whether it's hedging strategies or interpreting how currency fluctuations affect valuation. Rated 5.0 by students.
A chemistry background might seem unrelated to finance, but Ankit's heavy quantitative training — differential equations, statistics, and data modeling — maps directly onto the math that drives concepts like compound interest, bond pricing, and amortization schedules. He approaches financial formulas the way a scientist approaches equations: by breaking each variable down until the underlying logic is clear, not just memorized.
Having accepted a role as an investment management consultant, Adithya brings real-world financial fluency to topics like time value of money, portfolio diversification, and financial statement analysis. His economics training at St. Olaf grounds the math behind finance in clear, intuitive reasoning rather than rote formula application.
Having passed the Society of Actuaries exams in both probabilistic analysis and financial mathematics, Andre tackles finance from a quantitative foundation that most tutors lack. He walks students through time value of money, bond pricing, and risk assessment with the precision those actuarial exams demand.
Time value of money, capital budgeting, WACC, portfolio risk — finance courses pile on quantitative concepts fast, and falling behind on one topic cascades into the next. Hari earned his MBA with a finance concentration and applies that depth to walk through DCF models, ratio analysis, and valuation methods with the precision students need to solve problems confidently on exams.
Having earned his B.A. in Finance from UGA, Jon studied the core curriculum — financial statement analysis, corporate valuation, and capital markets — firsthand rather than picking it up secondarily through adjacent fields. He teaches budgeting frameworks and ratio analysis by connecting each concept back to the accounting and statistics coursework that underpins them, giving students a clearer picture of how the pieces fit together.
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.
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.
