I specialize in corporate finance, valuation, financial modeling, investment analysis, and capital markets. My areas of expertise include equity valuation, M&A, LBO modeling, portfolio theory, derivatives, and financial statement analysis. I also cover quantitative finance topics such as statistics and probability as applied to financial markets, making me well-equipped to support students across a wide range of finance curricula.
Yes, I provide practice problems, case studies, and tailored exercises for students to work on between sessions, if required. These are aligned with the student's specific course material and goals, and we review them together in subsequent sessions to consolidate understanding and address any gaps.
I draw on my professional background in investment banking and private equity to bring real-world context to theoretical concepts. Rather than relying solely on textbook frameworks, I use live market examples, practical case studies, and intuitive analogies to make abstract instruments tangible. I also tailor my explanations to each student's level — breaking down complex topics step by step and building up from first principles where needed, ensuring genuine understanding rather than surface-level memorization.
I approach personal finance by connecting theoretical principles to real-life decisions students will actually face — budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt. I use relatable examples such as building an investment portfolio from scratch, understanding the time value of money in the context of student loans, or evaluating insurance and pension products. I also use literature that all top-tier universities use. The goal is to make students financially literate in a practical sense, not just academically.
I contextualize regulations within the broader financial system so students understand not just the rules, but the reasoning behind them. Drawing on my experience in investment banking and private equity, I can illustrate how compliance frameworks such as MiFID II, Basel III, or securities law operate in practice. I use case studies of real regulatory events to make abstract rules concrete and memorable, which is particularly useful for students preparing for exams with applied components.
I teach valuation by building up from first principles — starting with the concept of intrinsic value and the time value of money before moving into specific methodologies. For equities, I cover DCF, comparable company analysis, and precedent transactions. For bonds, we work through yield calculations, duration, and credit risk. Where possible, I apply these frameworks to live market examples so students develop both technical accuracy and intuitive judgment.
