The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
ECON 373 · Corporate Finance
How companies decide what to invest in and how to pay for it.
Duke
Where students get stuck.
Economics meets finance
ECON 372 blends micro and macro with finance. We show how the models connect to the calculations.
Mean-variance math
Portfolio optimization is where the math prerequisites show up. We make it manageable.
Principal-agent problems
Incentives inside firms are easy to discuss and hard to model. We practice exam-style questions.
How a session works
Diagnosis first. Then the fix.
- 01
Before we meet
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
- 02
On Zoom
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
- 03
Before we finish
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.

I tutored IB students in grad school, did valuation and private equity consulting at PwC, taught MBA finance at Florida State, and spent three years as an adjunct professor teaching Business Finance.
Questions
Before you book.
Do you help Fuqua MBA students?
Yes. Send me your syllabus and we'll start there.
Can we prep before ECON 372?
Yes. Time value of money and basic statistics first make the course much easier.
Is tutoring allowed under my school's honor code?
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
