I will teach using lesson slides, questions, examples, and a case study so learners can think and reinforce their knowledge. The case study follows a real company’s journey and the risks along the way. My teaching philosophy is to focus on broad principles and key takeaways of risk and risk management. Learning about risk will better ground learners in the complexities of investing. Learners will benefit from my extensive working experience and educational background in the financial industry. You can find this information under the teacher expertise section below or on my profile page. A list of my Outschool classes is available towards the end of both my course and teacher intro videos.
