I help students and professionals prepare for investment banking and private equity interviews, from early recruiting conversations through Superdays. I am a private equity associate and former investment banking analyst with three years of experience working on M&A and strategic advisory transactions. I worked on transactions representing more than $3 billion in aggregate value and supported high-profile strategic clients. I hold a Master of Science in Finance from the University of Florida.

My perspective comes from both sides of the recruiting process. I navigated on-campus investment banking recruiting, participated in Superdays, and received multiple banking offers. As a banker, I also participated in my firm's recruiting and interview process. Before moving into private equity, I went through recruiting processes with more than 10 PE firms, including multiple Superdays. I can help you understand what interviewers look for and develop clear, thoughtful answers.

Sessions are tailored to your goals and timeline. We can prepare for technical and behavioral interviews, refine your résumé and personal story, discuss deal experience and investment ideas, and practice through mock interviews with direct feedback. Technical preparation can cover accounting, valuation, DCFs, comparable companies, merger analysis, LBOs, and case studies. I also help with financial modeling, Excel, and corporate finance coursework.

I have tutored for more than five years, and my goal is to help you understand the reasoning behind an answer - not just memorize it. Whether you are preparing for an interview, starting an internship, or strengthening your finance skills, we will build your knowledge step by step and practice applying it with confidence.

Finance

I am a private equity associate with three years of prior investment banking experience and a Master of Science in Finance from the University of Florida. In banking, I worked on transactions representing more than $3 billion in aggregate value and supported high-profile strategic clients. I have more than five years of tutoring experience. I help students and professionals prepare for investment banking and private equity interviews, including technical and behavioral questions, mock interviews, Superdays, valuation, accounting, and LBO concepts. My perspective draws on receiving multiple banking offers, participating in my bank’s recruiting and interview process, and going through private equity recruiting processes with more than 10 firms. I also teach financial modeling, Excel, corporate finance, and the connections between the three financial statements. I focus on helping students understand the reasoning behind the concepts and apply them in interviews, coursework, internships, and on the job.

Alejandro is Incredibly Helpful

I reached out to Alejandro last minute during my summer internship at an investment bank before presenting my final project and he replied within a couple minutes and we were able to schedule a lesson later that day. I was able to secure the offer, hugely because of him. He was was incredibly helpful for 2 main reasons. 1. Conceptuals - any question I've been afraid to ask during my internship, he was patient and broke things down in a way that I was able to understand easily 2. Modeling - he helped me understand the crux of the model and was able to help me understand the core components and drivers, without any prior experience I'd highly recommend Alejandro for any questions regarding conceptuals, technicals, or modeling.

Skilled, patient, and experienced

Explains complex financial concepts in a simple and straightforward way. Helped me understand how the three financial statements connect and create a model in excel. Overall, would highly recommend.

Intuitive Tutor

Alejandro does a great job in helping me better understand the material that I have questions about. The way that he shows me how he comes up with his answers is very helpful to me. Coming from a healthcare background, finance has been a true struggle for me but he has been a huge help in helping me learn the material in ways that I understand.

Fantastic Tutor

Alejandro and I did a two-hour session to prepare for an upcoming Corporate Finance exam. He was incredibly patient with me and he had a fantastic personality which made the session that much more enjoyable. I passed the exam thanks to him, and I couldn't be happier!

Great at explaining problems step by step!

Alejandro responded very quickly to my message and booked a time for a few days later. We went over some case interview prep for an interview I had two days later. I'm a social science major, so calculations with profit, breakeven analysis, weighted averages, unit conversions, etc, I don't have much practice with. We went over different problems for an hour, and once he walked me through how to do one type of problem, I practiced a similar one on my own, and then we went over it. Without this tutoring session, I wouldn't have understood how to do similar ones in my interview. I wound up getting the job offer, so I contribute a large part of that success with this tutoring seession! Highly recommend Alejandro.

Honest, Kind, Knowledgeable, and Passionate

I was taking a corporate finance class that had been really confusing for me from the beginning, and it seemed this was only going to get worse as the course progressed. That's when I found Alejandro. Over my remaining time in the course, he helped me to clear up these confusions and helped me to find various ways to work through problems (i.e. Excel vs. Formulas). With his help, I was able to get much more out of this course and become much more competent as a result.

Personal finance

Alejandro, has tutored me on several occasions and he has taken the time to make sure that I understand the formulas, and he is very patient with older students like myself.

Virgil, 3 lessons with Alejandro

Patient, kind, diligent, knowledgeable

Alejandro helped me on an investment case in a class where I’m embarrassingly lost. He was just kind, insightful, and really helped me understand my case so I was prepared to give a presentation. He was gentle in letting me know when I wasn’t on the right track with what I thought something might mean. I have 4 more cases and look forward to working with him on all of them. We also thought the case would take two hours, but he was diligent, kept me in track and we finished in an hour!
