Hi! I’m Pierce, a finance tutor committed about helping students and professionals excel in the finance field. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of Maryland in 2003, followed by an MBA from Johns Hopkins University in 2006, and in 2010, I completed my Ph.D. in Finance at the University of Maryland. Alongside my academic qualifications, I also hold the Chartered Financial Analyst and Financial Risk Manager credentials.
Over the past 15 years, I have tutored learners between 16 and 59 years, ranging from high school, graduates and seniors exploring finance for the first time to seasoned professionals preparing for advanced certifications. My expertise covers corporate financial accounting, finance, managerial accounting, microeconomics and macroeconomics. My teaching experience covers one-on-one sessions, interactive online lessons, and collaborative group workshops, each adapted to meet diverse learning styles.
My teaching approach centers on finance-driven reasoning, applied analysis, and structured skill development. I guide students through step-by-step financial modeling, working capital evaluation, time-value-of-money concepts, and performance measurement to build confidence through practical application. I incorporate industry-style tasks such as forecasting projects, sensitivity analysis, valuation modeling, and risk-profiling exercises that reflect real responsibilities in corporate finance and investment roles. To strengthen understanding, I use layered concept progression, comparative metric analysis, and guided interpretation of financial statements and market data. My goal is to help students grasp financial principles and apply them effectively in academic work, professional settings, and investment decisions. Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving coursework, or advancing your finance career, I provide clear instruction, relevant tools, and structured support for lasting success.
