Debra
Financial Professional - Tutoring and Coaching for Success
Teaching would be a great way for an investment banker and securities analyst to give back to the profession, at least that is what a professor friend told me. After meeting just a few students, I was surprised to find I had a knack for teaching. My students were not only getting better grades, they were beginning to enjoy their classes. I was hooked! Tell me about your academic and career goals. Together we will develop a plan to improve your learning situation for better grades, better c...

I have completed approximately twenty hours of undergraduate and graduate level accounting course work in intermediate, managerial and financial accounting. Knowledge of the principals of accounting are a critical element of my work as a securities analyst. I am a member of the NYSSA Corporate Reporting Committee, which has provided a convenient platform to remain current on changes in Generally Accepted Accounting Principals.

Reese H. from Astoria, NY
Very helpful for economics! Spent time with me until I truly understood the subject. Specifically, we spent time on chart curves I didn't really understand. The teacher was going faster than I could grasp. Highly recommend!
David M. from New York, NY
Debra was well prepared and explained the solution to the problem(s) thoughtfully. I would recommend her to anyone with an accounting problem.
Rolando U. from New York, NY
Ms. F provides the best knowledge based on her valuable experience in Wall Street. She is very patient and helpful in every way, so every person can be prepared with the right tools for the financial world.
Maggie S. from New York, NY
The thing I liked best about working with Debra is that she preps before your session. I had a difficult problem set, which Debra took time beforehand to walk through so our time together was more efficient.
Frank C. from Hoboken, NJ
I will not be using her again for tutoring. Unable to complete questions that I needed help on, not focused and detached from the present day exam. Aside from the first 10 mins of advice it was a 50 min waste of time.
Alex M. from Northridge, CA
I worked with Debra via Skype for two lessons on a finance internship project that I am doing. She was very nice and offered great explanations for all of the questions that I had.
Lisa T. from Clifton, NJ
Very professional and patient with an excellent teaching style.
Jon M. from New York, NY
Debra has been coaching me as I transition to a financial analyst role. Although I have taken finance courses at business school, I needed some extra help with some accounting and finance topics. Her experience and insight have been invaluable to me and to my professional growth. She has a knack for bridging theory with on the job application in a way that is clear and memorable. Debra is very pleasant to work with and I highly recommend her as a tutor.
Aida M. from Oakland Gardens, NY
Debra knows her subject! She helped me with my lesson, but what I appreciated most was that she explained "the big picture" first so that the specific subject matter was easier to grasp and easier to understand how it fits. She was punctual, prepared, and not in a hurry. She tutored me for an hour and a half, which was how long I ended up needing. I hope to meet with her again throughout this course and other finance courses.
Ariana G. from New York, NY
She taught me how to carefully read exam questions that will try to trick you. She was patient and answered any questions that I had and explained how to do them very well. Also, she responds very quickly to emails and I really appreciated how she made time for me when I needed a tutor at the last minute.
Gabriela P. from New York, NY
Debra was really helpful with my Accounting needs. I was able to understand the concepts better because of her detailed explanations. I will definitely continue using her.
Shannon B. from New York, NY
Debra is an excellent tutor who takes the time to explain the problems so you understand it. We were so involved that the time just flew by. I definitely would recommend Debra as a tutor.
Alix B. from New York, NY
Debra was extremely knowledgeable and very comprehensive in helping me Study for my macro and micro economics final. She is an excellent tutor, and I highly recommend her.
Grace A. from Seattle, WA
Debra is a fantastic tutor. She comes very prepared, answers questions patiently and thoughtfully and is very helpful. Will for sure need her in the future!
