This course will have one live session each week.

Most people just focus on earning money but many do not know how to manage it effectively. In order to make wise financial decisions you must gain knowledge about financial concepts and how to apply them in the real world. Throughout this course we will learn about several financial topics, case studies, real-life scenarios, and additional resources to help with finding reputable financial sources. Week 1: Financial Markets and Institutions Students will learn about the Federal Reserve and Monetary policy. They will explore financial intermediaries and international markets. Week 2: Setting Financial Goals We will learn about setting S.M.A.R.T. financial goals and how we can use them to be successful. Week 3: Savings Students will learn how to manage a bank account wisely. They will learn about emergency funds and how saving can help avoid debt. Week 4: Investing Students will learn about the Time Value of Money and Compounding Interest. We will discuss how money grows and how investing can help reach our financial goals. They will gain basic knowledge of stocks, bonds, and other investment options. Week 5: Credit & Debt Students will learn what I wish I had known about credit and debt. We will discuss how to avoid debt and use credit wisely. Week 6: Budgeting and Shopping Smart We will discuss making wise financial decisions (Needs vs. Wants). Students will learn how to create a budget and use it to reach their financial goals. Week 7: Let’s Make Financial Decisions Together Students will be provided with several real-life financial scenarios and will have to make decisions using the concepts they have learned in the course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My passion is changing lives and creating lifelong learners. I was that one kid that could not wait for the weekend to be over so I could go back to school. My experience began over 20 years ago working with middle and high school students. From there I gained valuable experience in the business world and then transitioned to teaching college students for the past 14 years. In my courses I am able to share my professional experience with students about financial literacy, money management, effective communication skills, business management, college success and other life skills. I look forward to working with you and your child to help them meet their educational and life goals.
