I am a Master of Science in Finance candidate at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business, where I focus on financial modeling, corporate finance, and quantitative analysis. My academic work is grounded in disciplined problem-solving and clear analytical structure. I tutor students who want to build a genuine understanding, not just complete assignments.

I have worked with high school and college students in mathematics (from Algebra to Calculus), finance, accounting, statistics, and academic writing. Many students come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure where their confusion begins. My first step is always diagnostic: I identify the exact point where understanding breaks down. From there, I teach students to rebuild concepts from first principles and apply them through structured practice. This approach consistently leads to measurable improvement in clarity, confidence, and performance.

The impact of our work extends beyond one class. When a student learns how to reason through problems rather than memorize steps, they become independent learners. That shift is lasting. My tutoring is best suited for students who are motivated to improve and willing to actively engage in the learning process. If the goal is to develop strong fundamentals, cultivate disciplined thinking, and achieve real academic growth, I can help the student get there.
