I am passionate about teaching financial literacy to kids, teens, and young adults who may not be able to otherwise gain that valuable basic financial understanding early on in life. Financial literacy is still largely missing from most widely-used school curriculums. This is my starting primary interest and passion for this platform.
With over 10 years of experience studying and teaching in business and finance, specifically with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in finance, I am well-equipped to share this core financial grounding with others who may find it helpful.
Our classes are guaranteed to be student-centered and engaging, and I invite you to join us in order to build a stronger foundation of financial literacy for your own future success!Reviews
