"Hi! My name is Peter, a finance tutor with a strong focus on building practical financial understanding, analytical confidence, and sound decision-making skills. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Baruch College in 2007, an MBA in Finance from New York University in 2010, and in 2015, I completed a Ph.D. in Finance from Columbia University. I also hold both the CFA and CPA designations, which allow me to integrate rigorous financial theory with real-world application and professional standards.

With over 11 years of combined teaching and professional experience, I have worked with learners ranging from 16 to 56 years old, including high school students building financial foundations, university students navigating rigorous finance and economics programs, and professionals preparing for certifications such as the CFA and FRM. My teaching subjects include microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, financial accounting, and managerial accounting. I have taught in online programs, intensive exam-preparation sessions, and personalized one-on-one tutoring tailored to individual academic and career objectives.

My teaching approach is application-driven and results-oriented. I focus on helping students think like financial analysts by emphasizing structured reasoning, efficient problem decomposition, and decision-focused analysis. Sessions incorporate real-world datasets, simplified financial models, timed practice exercises, and guided review of common analytical pitfalls. Rather than memorization, I prioritize pattern recognition, logical consistency, and exam-ready thinking. I encourage students to defend their conclusions with evidence, refine their analytical process, and build confidence under pressure—skills essential for academic success and professional performance in finance-driven environments. Whether you’re preparing for exams or advancing in your career, I am committed to guiding you with clarity, precision and purpose." less...
