I breakdown complex problems into simple, real-life concepts

My greatest strengths are my enthusiasm and positive attitude. I relish a challenge, and I have a gift for coming up with explanations to help people relate to complicated and technical information.

I have tutoring experience in the following accounting and finance courses:
- Introduction to Financial Accounting
- Intermediate Accounting 1 and 2
- Managerial Accounting
- Investment Analysis
- Corporate Finance
- Financial Statement Analysis

If you are having difficulty in any of these subjects and need a person to breakdown complex, hard-to-understand theories and problems into simple, real-life concepts - Look no further.

I can tutor students in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens. I can also e-tutor anywhere in the world using instant messaging and Desktop sharing through Skype.

I have a master's degree in Accounting from Iowa State University and two undergraduate degrees: (1) Finance - Iowa State University and (2) Management - Luther College (Iowa).

I have 5+ years of experience with a broad range of accounting, finance, and business start-up skills and would like to share my real-work experience to help you better understand the concepts in the books. Currently listed as an accounting tutor for students in the Wharton Executive MBA program.
