Teacher expertise and credentials
Inspired by my own lack of knowledge, I began studying and volunteering to teach personal finance shortly after college many, many years ago. Now that I am a parent, I realize how critically important it is for kids to have the skills I once lacked. Also, I just love this stuff.
I founded Financy three years ago to help parents educate financially confident and capable kids. I teach workshops and classes in schools, with social organizations (Girl Scouts Of America) and with private coaching clients. Personal finance can be dry and just plain boring so I have worked for years to make the information accessible, engaging and interactive. My curriculum is peppered with stories, examples and videos from real people to make the instruction more accessible and memorable. Reviews
