Finance, Investing, and Excel Tutor – From Theory to Practice

Oliver M.

I graduated cum laude with a degree in economics from SJSU, where I focused on macroeconomics, financial modeling, and market theory. During my studies, I developed advanced Excel based models to understand stock market behavior, interest rate cycles, and business forecasting. What started as coursework quickly became a personal passion and now I love helping others truly understand how economic systems and financial tools work in the real world.

My tutoring experience has been one on one and highly personalized. I’ve worked with high school students preparing for AP Economics and college students struggling with intermediate micro or macro courses. I've also helped young professionals and adult learners make sense of investing, inflation, interest rates, and even how to use Excel to analyze markets or build a personal budget. My goal is always to meet students where they are, whether they’re aiming to ace a test, pass a class, or gain real world financial literacy.

I believe in a step by step approach that connects theory to intuition. I don’t just teach formulas, I guide students to see the logic behind the models and apply them confidently. Whether we’re walking through a supply and demand graph, building a volatility model in Excel, or breaking down how the Federal Reserve impacts markets, I focus on clarity, patience, and building lasting understanding. I’m passionate about helping students gain skills they can use far beyond the classroom.
