About Me

Dear Prospective Students,

My name is Adam, I am 25 years old, I currently live in Vienna, and I am working as an investment banker.

I firmly believe in the transformative power of education. That is why beyond my career in finance, I am dedicated to making a meaningful impact and adding value to society by sharing the knowledge I had the privilege to accumulate over the years during my studies and work experiences.

I have a Master's Degree from HEC Paris' Master in International Finance Program, recognized as the #1 Finance Master's globally for over 10 years now, and before that I obtained my Bachelor's from two universities in Budapest and Dublin.

Over the past seven years, I have developed a deep passion for the financial markets, driven by a curiosity to understand the complexities of our world, and how that relates to financial markets and products. My goal is to ignite this same enthusiasm in others - so whether you are seeking to deepen your market knowledge or just to simply understand specific financial concepts better, I think you have come to the right place.

A bit more about myself:

I used to be a professional tennis player until the age of 18, but then I decided to pursue higher education as I thought that would be a safer and more suitable choice. However, up until this day, it's a big part of my life, a hobby and passion I will never let go of. Apart from tennis, I enjoy my runs to switch off, I lately started to develop some interest in art, and I love to cook as well.

I would describe myself as a very easy-going person, I am also very curious about others, and my friends would probably describe me as someone who is friendly, trustworthy, and definitely someone who likes to talk, and explain things.

So, that's about me, if you think I would be the right fit for you, and you are interested or need help in the areas of my courses, please reach out, and let me help you unlock your potential in the fascinating world of finance.

I hope to see you in class very soon!

Best,
Adam

Mastering Financial Markets: Behavioral Finance Insights

83 C$ /h

Mark Twain famously said: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so."

This famous quote shines light on to the fact how important it is to make sure your own beliefs do not take you to a road where you become overly confident about them. We are human beings, we all have behavioral (and many other types of ) biases. The first step is making ourselves aware of these tendencies in order to become better decision makers not only when it comes to financial markets and investments but in general as well.

Gain insights into how markets and market players tend to interpret and react to information, and more importantly, into the widely prevailing behavioral biases that result in bad decision making when it comes to investments or management decisions. Beyond the theoretical concepts, we are going to go thorugh real world examples to demonstrate the impact of the behavioral biases.

2) Rational Investors & CAPM
3) Market Efficiency
4) Market Inefficiency

I am specialized (>5 years of experience) in tutoring math for school (any level, but preferably higher level), including competitive exams such as the SAT, GRE, GMAT, and the IIT-JEE.

This class is aimed to train
1) high-school students undergoing VWO or an IB curriculum, who are having problems following math at school or university,
2) Anyone who wishes to take the VWO Math-A/B/C entrance examinations by Boswell or CCVX and wants to train for that.

Personally, I am currently working as a Quantitative Researcher of stock markets, and therefore analytical math is also a part of my job.

The classes could be rigorous or lenient depending on the student. There will be periodic homework and I'll make sure that the student achieves her/his desired goals.

► EXPERT BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS TUTOR FROM SWITZERLAND
► IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUPPORT

I completed my Master’s degree in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, where my academic background strongly combined business, finance, economics, mathematics, analytical thinking and problem-solving. This technical and business-oriented foundation shaped the way I teach today: clearly, logically and with a strong focus on real understanding.

For many years, I have successfully supported students in Business Studies, Accounting, Finance and Economics. As a tutor from Switzerland, I bring a structured, patient and highly individual teaching style to students who want to improve their grades, prepare for important exams and build real confidence in business-related subjects.

My lessons are designed for students who want more than just memorizing definitions and formulas. I focus on understanding business concepts, applying financial logic, interpreting economic relationships and solving accounting problems step by step.

► EXAM PREPARATION & ACADEMIC SUPPORT

► IGCSE BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING & ECONOMICS
I help students build a strong foundation in business concepts, financial calculations and economic thinking. My lessons include clear theory explanations, topic-by-topic revision and exam-style practice to prepare students confidently for their assessments.

► A-LEVEL BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, ECONOMICS & FINANCE
A-Level subjects require strong analytical thinking, clear written arguments and confident application of theory to real business situations. I support students with structured revision, essay technique, calculation practice, case-study analysis and preparation for demanding exams.

► INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE — IB BUSINESS MANAGEMENT & ECONOMICS
I provide structured support for IB students, focusing on deep understanding, strong terminology, analytical writing and exam technique. Students learn how to explain concepts clearly, analyse case studies, evaluate decisions and structure high-quality answers.

► INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAMMES
I support students following international, bilingual and private school curricula in Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, Finance, Commerce and Management. Since every school can have different expectations, I adapt my teaching to the student’s syllabus, textbook, teacher requirements and exam format.

► UNIVERSITY & FOUNDATION COURSES
For older students, I offer support in Accounting, Corporate Finance, Economics, Business Administration, Financial Management, Statistics and quantitative business modules. I help students understand difficult theory, solve assignments, prepare for exams and develop strong analytical skills.

► HOW I TEACH

► I FOCUS ON REAL UNDERSTANDING, NOT MEMORISATION.
I explain business, accounting and economic concepts step by step so students understand the logic behind the theory and can apply it confidently in exams.

► I CONNECT THEORY WITH REAL BUSINESS EXAMPLES.
Business and economics become easier when students can see how concepts work in real life. I use practical examples to make topics clear, relevant and memorable.

► I SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CALCULATIONS.
In Accounting and Finance, I break calculations into clear steps so students understand what is given, which formula is needed and how to reach the final answer correctly.

► I TRAIN EXAM TECHNIQUE CAREFULLY.
Students learn how to structure answers, use key terminology, analyse case studies, justify decisions and manage time under exam conditions.

► I ADAPT EVERY LESSON TO THE STUDENT.
Every student learns differently, so I adjust my explanations, pace, examples and practice questions to match the student’s exact level and goals.

► YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS

Over the years, I have successfully supported students from prestigious schools and demanding academic programmes, helping them strengthen their understanding, master exam techniques and achieve excellent progress in Business Studies, Accounting, Finance and Economics.

► ONLINE LESSONS

I provide individual tutoring in Accounting, Finance, Economics and related quantitative business subjects for students at school, vocational, Fachhochschule and university level.

My academic background is in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences. This combines business, economics, mathematics, statistics, finance, data and analytical problem-solving.

I have several years of teaching experience and have supported students preparing for school examinations, vocational qualifications, Fachhochschule modules and university exams.

Accounting topics can include:

- Financial Accounting
- Bookkeeping
- Debit and credit
- Journal entries
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- Opening and closing entries
- Accruals
- Depreciation
- Inventory
- VAT
- Swiss accounting exercises
- Cost Accounting
- Management Accounting
- BAB
- Cost allocation
- Contribution Margin
- Break-even analysis
- Cash Flow Statement
- Financial ratios

Finance topics can include:

- Simple interest
- Compound interest
- Present value
- Future value
- Annuities
- Financial Mathematics
- Investment calculations
- NPV
- Investment appraisal
- Bonds
- Shares
- Risk and return
- CAPM
- WACC
- Corporate Finance
- Financial ratios
- Quantitative finance exercises

Economics topics can include:

- Microeconomics
- Supply and demand
- Elasticity
- Market equilibrium
- Consumer theory
- Producer theory
- Costs
- Revenue
- Profit
- Market structures
- Perfect competition
- Monopoly
- Macroeconomic fundamentals
- Business Economics
- Quantitative Economics

Related quantitative subjects can include:

- Business Statistics
- Probability
- Quantitative Methods
- Regression
- Data interpretation
- Financial calculations
- Applied Mathematics for business students

My teaching approach is based on understanding the logic behind each calculation.

For quantitative questions, we normally use a clear structure:

- What is given?
- What needs to be found?
- Which formula or accounting principle applies?
- Why does it apply?
- How is the result calculated?
- What does the final number actually mean?

This is particularly useful in Accounting and Finance.

Students sometimes learn one example mechanically and then become confused when the wording or numbers change in an examination. I therefore use different question styles so that students learn to recognise the underlying principle.

Lessons can be used for:

- Regular semester support
- Homework and exercises
- Closing knowledge gaps
- Exam preparation
- Intensive revision
- FH examinations
- University examinations
- Repeating previously failed modules
- Improving calculation speed and accuracy

I explain concepts in a structured and practical way and adapt the level of detail to the individual student.

The aim is to make Accounting, Finance and Economics feel logical, organised and manageable rather than like complicated collections of formulas and rules.

I also hold a PhD in Economics from UCL, and I taught Financial Institutions to undergraduates at Queen Mary, University of London. I have also worked in equity research and asset management, so I can show how the theory is used in practice.

What I cover

How I work
We start with your course outline and recent work to see where you are losing marks or getting stuck. Many students can follow the formulas but struggle to decide which method to use or how to interpret the result. We work on that directly, using your own problem sets and past papers.

Lessons are online and one to one. Send me a message through Apprentus with your course, level and what you would like to work on.

Attualmente sto frequentando un Master in Finance e ho una solida preparazione accademica in matematica, economia, statistica e finanza.
Mi piace condividere le mie conoscenze e aiutare gli studenti a comprendere anche gli argomenti più complessi in modo chiaro e intuitivo. Il mio approccio è paziente, strutturato e personalizzato in base alle esigenze e al ritmo di apprendimento di ciascuno studente.
Credo che un buon tutor non debba limitarsi a spiegare i concetti o a fornire le risposte corrette, ma debba soprattutto aiutare gli studenti a sviluppare un metodo di studio efficace, acquisire sicurezza e diventare autonomi nella risoluzione dei problemi.
