Advanced Excel & FP&A Tutor | Financial Modeling, Forecasting

Michael Y.

I am a finance and FP&A professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Georgia and hands-on experience building financial models, forecasting tools, KPI dashboards, and executive reporting packages. My professional background includes roles in strategic finance, FP&A, business research, mortgage servicing, education services, and automotive manufacturing. I regularly use advanced Excel, Power Query, Power BI, SQL, Snowflake, OneStream, and TM1 to turn large financial and operational datasets into clear analysis, dashboards, and decision-ready reports. I also hold certifications in Power BI, Advanced SQL for Data Analysis, Financial Modeling and Forecasting, and FP&A Excel Modeling.

I tutor Excel, financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, FP&A, dashboard building, and business analytics because these are tools I use in real corporate finance settings. I can help students and professionals with formulas, PivotTables, lookups, Power Query, data cleanup, variance analysis, driver-based forecasting, budget models, KPI reporting, and presentation-ready outputs. My goal is not just to show someone which button to click, but to help them understand how to structure a problem, organize the data, build a clean workbook, check their work, and explain the results clearly.

I also have formal teaching experience from my time as an Assistant Language Teacher in Nagoya, Japan, where I worked in classroom settings with students and adapted lessons for different ages, skill levels, and learning styles. That experience taught me how to explain concepts patiently, break complex ideas into simple steps, and adjust my approach based on the student’s confidence and goals. In tutoring sessions, I like to use practical examples, real-world finance scenarios, and guided practice so students can leave each lesson with something they understand and can apply immediately.
