About Bud

Bio

In the past 8 years I have been tutoring Math from elementary school to AP Calculus and a few college level courses.

I also tutor Finance, Physics, business writing and standardized tests prep such as SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT.

What I enjoy most is seeing many of my students succeed in their respective endeavors, including those who got college credits because they achieved high scores in their AP Calculus exams.

Specific to Finance, I can add real-world first hand insights...

In the past 8 years I have been tutoring Math from elementary school to AP Calculus and a few college level courses.

What I enjoy most is seeing many of my students succeed in their respective endeavors, including those who got college credits because they achieved high scores in their AP Calculus exams.

Specific to Finance, I can add real-world first hand insights from more than 25 years experience working in investment banking, corporate finance, wealth management, estate planning, life insurance and angel-investing.

I earned my BSc in Mathematics from the University of Washington, Cum Laude, and my MBA in Finance from New York University Stern School of Business. I speak several languages including English, Indonesian, Malay and elementary Dutch, German and Mandarin.

I enjoy tennis, playing guitar and piano, travel and good food. My wife of 26 years teaches 3rd graders at a nearby school and my daughter works as a credit analyst for one of the biggest regional banks in the Pacific Northwest.

He seems knowledgeable since he explained me the concepts but he failed to understand and interpret the homework questions. Thus, I failed the assignment 2/3 questions wrong

Romario, 1 lesson with Bud

Bud L. tutor in math, finance, physics, and business writing.

I wanted to share my experience with my tutor Bud L. I am in my final year of college and found myself in need of a tutor in my Managerial Finance class, which is a capstone course in my degree track. The sheer volume and technical difficulty associated with the class really put me "behind the eight ball." So, I reached out to the Wyzant community and found Bud L., looked at his credentials and business background and thought I'd give him a try. Turn out to be the best decision I could have made in order to make up ground and understanding all the material being presented. Bud has a very extensive business background and a long history of helping students achieve academic success. He is very accommodating, reliable, and patient. The help he gave me was immeasurable in my understanding and success in the class. Without him, I highly doubt I would have gained the understanding to pass the course. If someone is struggling in any of his specialty areas, I highly recommend Bud L. Thanks Wyzant for the platform and thank you Bud for all your help!

Robert, 29 lessons with Bud

He is very knowledgeable, patient and professional

He is all around a great teacher/tutor, very patient, super smart and goes slow so I can understand and also keeps me engaged. I have had him for around 8 or 9 weeks now and will continue to use him until I graduate.
