Applied Mathematics & Finance

Oscar G.

I am an undergraduate at The George Washington University School of Business, pursuing a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Finance with a 3.8 GPA. My academic background includes advanced coursework in Ordinary Differential Equations, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra, alongside Financial Models with Python. I have further validated my expertise with the CFA Investment Foundations Certification and Bloomberg Market Concepts. This blend of pure mathematics and applied financial theory allows me to support students in mastering complex technical subjects by explaining the underlying logic rather than just the mechanics of a solution.

My teaching experience is extensive and diverse, spanning from K-12 to university-level peers. I began peer tutoring in high school and later expanded this work with the Raising a Village Foundation, a non-profit where I tutored K-12 students in underprivileged communities. Currently, I apply these mentorship skills as a Portfolio Manager for the GWU Stock & Portfolio Management Club, where I guide a team of 40 analysts. In this role, I teach undergraduate peers how to research securities and generate reports, requiring me to translate sophisticated market trends into clear, teachable strategies.

I combine this hands-on instructional history with a structured approach derived from my professional background. As a Financial and Investment Analyst at Mercor Intelligence, I translated task specifications into reference solutions and designed structured environments to guide learning. This experience honed my ability to break down difficult problems into manageable steps to optimize learning outcomes. Whether working with a K-12 student on math fundamentals or a college peer on complex derivatives, I possess the patience and adaptability to help students achieve their academic goals.
