Hi! My name is Samuel, a finance tutor committed to helping students develop strong financial intuition, quantitative confidence, and independent analytical thinking. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010, an MBA in Finance from San José State University in 2014 and in 2019, I completed Ph.D. in Finance at San Diego State University. I also hold the CFA and CPA designations, allowing me to connect academic finance theory with professional standards and real-world financial applications.
Over the past 12 years, I have tutored learners between 15 and 55 years, ranging from high school, graduates and seniors exploring finance for the first time to seasoned professionals preparing for advanced certifications such as the CFA and CPA. My expertise covers, macroeconomics, microeconomics, finance, financial accounting, and managerial accounting. My teaching experience covers one-on-one sessions, interactive online lessons, and collaborative group workshops designed around individual academic goals and career objectives.
My teaching approach is practical, structured, and learner-centred. I focus on building financial clarity by breaking complex topics into manageable components and linking theory directly to real-world financial decisions. Sessions emphasize applied examples, problem walkthroughs, and active participation to strengthen understanding and retention. I guide students through systematic approaches to analysis, helping them identify key variables, evaluate alternatives, and draw well-supported conclusions. Emphasis is placed on accuracy, logical consistency, and confidence under time constraints. Ongoing feedback, targeted practice, and regular progress reviews ensure steady improvement and meaningful transfer of skills to academic, professional, and practical financial contexts. I would be honoured to support your academic or professional journey in finance and help you achieve your goals.
