Client testimonials are at: **Web Address Removed**

I am a quantitative consultant with a multi-disciplinary background (MA Economics from Cambridge, PhD Financial Econometrics and MSc Finance from Imperial). This enables me to teach a wide range of subjects (Programming, Data Science / Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, Finance) over many levels ranging from A-Level to professional standards. This also enables me to mentor clients along a growth path, e.g. I can advise an A-Level student which areas of Mathematics are most important for Economics and Finance degrees.

Through my PhD and research I have gained extensive computing skills, namely in Python, MQL4, Matlab, R, SQL, C++ and Java. I have been a quantitative tutor and consultant for The Profs for over 8 years (over 100 clients and over 1000 sessions and hours completed).

Previously, I worked at Accenture in the areas of Business Intelligence, ERP, Finance and Performance Management, and Change Management. This included creating user training materials for 2 multinational companies and delivering the training for one of them.

Training Approach:

I treat every client uniquely (everyone has strengths which enable them to relate to material differently) and kindly (there are no bad questions). My aim is to help clients grow to become independent and able to learn on their own.

I prefer to work online via Teams and OneDrive as online meetings can be more flexible. Also I request a minimum of 10 hours work together as there is preparation time involved in setting up our material. My working hours are 12-8pm on weekdays.
