Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find financial accounting challenging—particularly balance sheets, income statements, and understanding how transactions flow through the accounting equation. Supply and demand curves, opportunity cost, and marginal analysis trip up many economics students because they require thinking in terms of trade-offs rather than absolutes. Time value of money calculations, break-even analysis, and financial ratio interpretation are also common pain points since they demand both conceptual understanding and computational accuracy. A tutor can help you move beyond memorizing formulas to truly grasping why these tools matter in real business decisions.
The gap between textbook concepts and actual business practice is where many students struggle. For example, understanding supply and demand curves is one thing; analyzing how a price change affects a company's revenue requires applying that theory to real market conditions. A tutor can walk you through case studies—like how a retailer uses break-even analysis to decide on inventory levels, or how investors use financial ratios to evaluate stock performance. This bridges abstract theory with concrete decision-making, which is exactly what you'll encounter in internships, job interviews, and business school applications.
Strong business students need proficiency in financial modeling, statistical analysis, and accounting fundamentals. This includes building spreadsheet models to forecast cash flows, calculating financial ratios (ROI, debt-to-equity, current ratio), performing break-even and sensitivity analysis, and understanding probability and correlation in investment decisions. You'll also need to master GAAP principles if you're studying accounting, which governs how companies record and report financial information. Many students underestimate how much math is involved—tutoring can strengthen both your computational skills and your ability to interpret what the numbers actually tell you about a business's health.
If you're targeting a CPA or CFA path, your coursework foundation is critical. CPAs need deep accounting knowledge—mastering GAAP principles, audit procedures, and tax regulations starts in your business courses. CFA candidates must excel at financial analysis, portfolio management, and understanding market structures and economic indicators. Strong performance in AP Economics, intermediate accounting, and financial analysis courses significantly boosts your readiness for these rigorous certification exams. A tutor can help you develop the analytical rigor and conceptual depth these credentials demand, rather than just passing exams.
Memorizing the present value formula won't help you decide whether a business investment makes sense—you need to understand why money today is worth more than money tomorrow, and how that principle drives real decisions. The same applies to financial ratios: knowing the formula for ROI is useless if you can't interpret what a 12% return means in context. A tutor helps by asking you to explain *why* a formula works, work through problems from multiple angles, and apply concepts to scenarios you haven't seen before. This deeper understanding is what separates students who pass exams from those who truly grasp business logic.
Balance sheets confuse many students because they require thinking about how every transaction affects multiple accounts simultaneously—debits and credits, assets and liabilities, and the fundamental equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). Students often memorize the structure without grasping why a company's financial position changes the way it does. A tutor can use real company financial statements (like those from Apple or Walmart) to show you how actual business transactions—taking out a loan, purchasing equipment, earning revenue—flow through the balance sheet. This concrete approach transforms balance sheets from abstract puzzles into tools you can actually use to analyze a company's financial health.
These market structures determine how companies set prices, earn profits, and compete—which directly affects business strategy and investment decisions. In perfect competition, firms are price-takers with no control; in monopolistic competition, they differentiate products; in monopolies, one firm dominates pricing. Understanding these distinctions helps you analyze real industries: is the smartphone market monopolistic competition (Apple, Samsung competing on features) or closer to oligopoly? A tutor can help you move beyond definitions to analyzing actual markets, predicting how firms behave under different competitive pressures, and understanding why some industries are more profitable than others.
Financial modeling combines accounting knowledge, statistical reasoning, and spreadsheet skills to project a company's future cash flows, profitability, and valuation. You'll need to understand income statements and balance sheets deeply, make reasonable assumptions about growth rates and margins, and use formulas to link everything together. Many students struggle because they focus on the mechanics (creating formulas) rather than the logic (what assumptions make sense?). A tutor can guide you through building a simple three-statement model (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow), stress-testing your assumptions, and interpreting what your model reveals about whether a business is worth investing in.
