Practical real estate finance lessons: cash-flow modelling,
From 89 C$ /h
Want to understand the numbers behind real estate investment? I offer practical, approachable lessons drawing on over eight years of experience managing real estate and investment portfolios.
We can cover cash-flow modelling in Excel, investment returns, property valuation, real estate terminology and competitor analysis. I can also help you understand how these fit into the wider work of real estate asset management and investment.
Lessons focus on understanding the reasoning, not simply memorising formulas. We can work through examples step by step, look at the assumptions behind a model and discuss what the results mean. Whether you are building your foundations or strengthening a specific skill, we can choose a starting point that matches your experience and goals.
My approach is friendly, patient and practical, with room to ask questions and work at your pace. The aim is to help you feel more confident reading, building and explaining real estate analysis.
These are educational lessons, not personal financial advice or recommendations about which investments to make.

Want to speak French with more confidence? My lessons are relaxed, practical and focused on helping you enjoy using the language.
I grew up in Belgium and was educated in French throughout secondary school. I speak English, French and Spanish, and can explain things in English when helpful.
We'll work on real conversations for everyday life, travel, work and social situations, building vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar along the way. Sessions will be adapted to your goals and interests, with plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions and practise at your own pace.
I bring a warm, friendly approach and a sense of humour to lessons, so you can feel comfortable making mistakes while developing your confidence in French.

Looking to start or progress your career in real estate? I offer practical, friendly support with CVs, applications and interview preparation, drawing on over eight years of experience in real estate investment and portfolio management.
We can work on presenting your experience clearly, tailoring your CV to a role and explaining why you are a good fit. For interviews, we can practise your introduction, work through common competency questions and discuss real estate questions relevant to the job. Mock interviews give you a chance to try your answers aloud and receive clear, constructive feedback.
I also provide mock-interview mentoring, so I understand the value of a supportive space to practise, ask questions and work out what you want to say. My approach is warm, straightforward and focused on your next step, whether you are exploring the industry, applying for your first role or preparing for a move.
Each session will focus on what would be most useful to you. Bring a job description, a CV or simply a question about your next step, and we can agree where to start. You do not need to have everything worked out before we meet.
