TEACHING

My teaching philosophy could be summarized in one basic premise: while finances and financial analysis classes are mostly about equations and numbers, these only represent what is really human interaction in corporate and market environments. Thus, one of my main goals in every course I have taught is to go beyond the mathematics and show the students the intuition and logic behind the formulas, and how they relate to real life. This generally results in two important outcomes: students being interested in and motivated by what they are studying, and students being able to apply the concepts learned in real world applications.
