I am a junior at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, concentrating in Finance with a 3.7 GPA. My academic foundation is complemented by hands-on experience across wealth management, equity research, and real estate private equity, including internships at Potomac Wealth Management, Leaf Group of New York, and a PGIM Real Estate program through Project Destined. These experiences have given me a practical, applied understanding of finance that goes well beyond the classroom.

Beyond technical finance, I have a genuine passion for helping others navigate their career paths. At Questrom, I was selected as one of six Career Skills Coaches out of fifty applicants, advising peers one-on-one on resume writing, interview preparation, and internship search strategy across finance, consulting, and other business tracks. I also founded BU's first Wealth Management Club, where I organize speaker events and programming around portfolio construction and financial planning.

In tutoring sessions, I focus on making concepts concrete and applicable. Whether a student needs help with accounting, financial modeling, corporate finance coursework, or preparing for finance and consulting recruiting, I tailor each session to their specific goals. I work best with college students and motivated high schoolers who want to understand not just the material, but how it connects to real-world careers.

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

As a Boston University student and LOCK tutor, I help students sharpen the grammar, punctuation, and rhetoric skills that ACT English tests. I teach the specific rules the test repeats, like comma usage, subject-verb agreement, and concision. I also show strategies for eliminating wrong answers quickly. Each session uses official practice questions and targets the student's weakest question types.

As a Finance major at BU's Questrom School of Business, I use algebra, functions, and quantitative reasoning every day.

Algebra 2

I'm a junior Finance major at BU with a strong quantitative background, and I tutor students through LOCK.

I work as a Career Skills Coach at Boston University's Questrom School of Business, where I help students with resumes, cover letters, networking, and interview prep. I've also been through competitive finance recruiting myself and landed three internships across equity research, wealth management, and real estate private equity, so I know what actually works from both sides. I can help with resume and LinkedIn reviews, building a networking strategy, mock interviews, and mapping out a recruiting timeline. My style is direct and practical, focused on the specific next steps that move your search forward.
Chess

Chess

I've been playing chess for 10 years and am currently rated 1300 on Chess.com. I focus on helping beginner and intermediate players build a strong foundation: opening principles, basic tactics like forks and pins, and the thought process behind picking a move instead of just memorizing lines. I also tutor other analytical subjects like poker and math, so I'm used to breaking down strategic thinking into steps students can actually follow. Lessons are hands-on, playing through games together and reviewing the student's own games to find patterns worth fixing.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I'm a Finance student at Boston University and a tutor through LOCK, and I enjoy helping younger students build confidence in math. I focus on number sense, operations, fractions, and word problems, using simple explanations and real-life examples like money. I keep lessons patient and encouraging so students build the foundation they need for later math.
English

English

I am a junior at Boston University's Questrom School of Business with a 3.7 GPA, and I tutor students through LOCK, BU's academic honorary society. My coursework and professional work require constant writing, from research reports to client-facing memos, so I know how to help students read closely and express ideas clearly.

I can help with time value of money, valuation, corporate finance, portfolio theory, and exam prep.
Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting

I'm a junior Finance major at BU's Questrom School of Business and have tutored financial accounting through both LOCK and Wyzant. I use the three financial statements constantly in my FMVA-certified modeling work, so I can show students how transactions flow through the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. I break topics like accruals, depreciation, inventory, and ratio analysis into clear steps with practice problems matched to the student's course.
Geometry

Geometry

I'm a Finance major at Boston University with a strong math background, and I tutor through LOCK.

I'm a Boston University student and LOCK tutor who works with students of different ages.

I keep sessions encouraging and connect practice to the student's real schoolwork so neater writing becomes a habit.

I've also been through competitive recruiting myself, landing internships in equity research, wealth management, and real estate private equity, so I know firsthand what interviewers look for and how to prepare for both behavioral and technical questions. My approach is practical and personalized: we run realistic practice interviews, work on structured answers using frameworks like the STAR method, and build a preparation plan tailored to the specific roles and companies you're targeting. Whether it's your first interview or a high-stakes final round, I'll help you walk in prepared, calm, and ready to make a strong impression.
Microeconomics

Poker

Poker

I have over five years of experience playing poker both online and in live settings across a wide range of buy-in levels and formats, giving me a deep understanding of the game at every stage. I am well-versed in fundamental poker strategy including hand selection, position play, pot odds, bankroll management, and adjusting to different opponent types and table dynamics. My experience spans cash games and tournaments at varying stakes, which has sharpened my ability to teach concepts that apply whether a student is a complete beginner or looking to improve their intermediate game. I focus on building a strong strategic foundation so students can think through hands independently rather than simply memorizing plays.
Prealgebra

PSAT

PSAT

As a Boston University student and LOCK tutor, I help students prepare for the PSAT's reading, writing, and math sections. I teach test strategies, timing, and the core content each section covers, using official practice material. Sessions are built around the student's diagnostic results so we target the areas with the most room to improve.

I also work as a Career Skills Coach at Questrom, where I help students communicate clearly and confidently in interviews and professional settings.

Sessions are practice-heavy: you present, I give direct feedback, and we repeat until it feels natural.
Reading

Reading

I'm a Boston University student and LOCK tutor who reads complex material every day. I help students improve comprehension by teaching them to identify main ideas, find supporting evidence, and draw inferences. Lessons use texts matched to the student's level and interests, with a focus on building lasting reading habits.
SIE Exam (Securities)

SIE Exam (Securities)

I passed the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam in September 2026, so I know exactly what the test covers and how to prepare for it efficiently. I am a junior Finance major at Boston University's Questrom School of Business with a 3.7 GPA, and I hold the FMVA and FPWMP certifications from CFI. My experience interning at Potomac Wealth Management and founding BU's Wealth Management Club lets me connect exam topics like securities products, regulation, and customer accounts to how they work in practice. I build each student a study plan around practice questions and the highest-weighted sections so they walk into test day confident.
Soccer

Soccer

I've played soccer since I was five years old, competing at both the club and high school level, so I have a deep, hands-on understanding of the game, from fundamental skills and positioning to reading the flow of play. I now referee soccer as well, which has sharpened my command of the rules and how the game is officiated in real time. I enjoy helping players build their technical skills and soccer IQ, and I adapt each session to the player's age and level, whether that's a young player learning the basics or an older one refining their game. My approach is patient and encouraging, focused on building both skill and confidence on the field.
Spelling

Spelling

I'm a Boston University student and LOCK tutor with strong reading and writing skills. I teach spelling through word families, prefixes, suffixes, and roots so students understand why words are spelled the way they are instead of memorizing lists. I use short, consistent practice and build spelling into the student's own writing so improvements carry over to schoolwork.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

I'm a Boston University student and LOCK tutor with strong reading and writing skills. I teach vocabulary through context, word roots, and active use in writing rather than memorization alone. This approach helps students on tests like the SAT and ACT and in their everyday reading and writing.
Writing

Writing

I'm a junior at BU's Questrom School of Business, where I regularly write research reports, memos, and professional emails. As a LOCK tutor and Career Success Coach, I help students organize their ideas, write with clarity, and revise effectively.
