Finance Tutor | MBA & MSF | Accounting, Investments & Derivatives

Jayson R.

I recently earned an International MBA and a Master of Science in Finance from Florida International University (GPA 3.86), after completing a dual BBA in International Business & Finance (GPA 3.94, summa cum laude). I've passed Level I of the CFA® exam, the SIE, Bloomberg Market Concepts course, and Harvard Business School Publishing's certifications in spreadsheet modeling and quantitative methods. I was honored with a Distinguished Engagement Award for founding my university's premier business podcast, where I interviewed faculty experts and introduced multifaceted economic ideas through clear, accessible conversations for broad audiences (a skill I bring directly into the classroom).

I began tutoring in 2022 while finishing my undergraduate program and continued through my masters. Since joining WyzAnt, I've worked with students from across the country (undergraduates, graduate students, and MBA/MSF candidates) and from a wide range of institutions and programs.

My subject focus includes corporate finance, derivatives and options pricing, fixed income, financial and managerial accounting, statistics, macroeconomics, and Excel-based financial modeling. My preferred practices include creating tailored study guides and practice problems in valuation, forecasting, and financial statement analysis. I use Excel as my primary teaching platform, building step-by-step models that are easy to revisit. I supplement this with an iPad and virtual whiteboard for interactive walkthroughs, and design lessons to reinforce key concepts.

My approach is grounded in higher-education practice: over the years I've worked with a wide range of syllabi, rubrics, and exams and ask students to share theirs in advance. I'm proficient with the TI-84 and BA II Plus calculators and walk through TVM, NPV/IRR, and amortization workflows keystroke by keystroke when needed (with a virtual calculator on screen). In a free introductory session, we review those materials, align goals, and set expectations.
