College Instructor | Business, Accounting, Career & Interview Coa

Ashif H.

I am a college instructor and higher education professional with experience teaching, advising, and supporting undergraduate students and working with professionals across a range of industries. I hold a BS in Financial Economics and an MA in Economics from Binghamton University, as well as an MPA in Management from NYU Wagner. I have taught Principles of Financial Accounting at the City College of New York in both traditional classroom and accelerated online formats. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps, connecting material to practical examples, and adapting explanations to each student's learning style.

Beyond the classroom, I have several years of experience supporting college students with career and professional development. At City College, I managed corporate partnerships and career-focused programs that connected students with employers and professional opportunities. I have worked with students on resumes, interviews, networking, professional communication, presentations, and navigating the transition from college to the workplace. I currently work in Executive Education at Columbia Business School, where I help develop and deliver learning programs for professionals and organizational leaders. This experience has strengthened my ability to teach business concepts, communication, presentation skills, and professional development in practical, accessible ways.

Whether a student needs help understanding financial accounting, preparing for an interview, improving a presentation, or developing professionally, my goal is to create a supportive learning environment and provide clear, actionable feedback tailored to their individual goals.
