George

Private Life Coaching and Management Tutor in London

Welcome to my profile! I'm George, a highly experienced professional specialising in Accounting and Finance. With a First-Class Honours degree in Accounting and Finance from Warwick Business School and a Distinction in MSc Finance from The London School of Economics, I bring extensive knowledge and practical insights to the table.

I am currently employed as an auditor at a Big 4 firm and also a full qualified member of ICAEW Chartered Accountants since 2023. I have a solid foundation in financial analysis, financial reporting, accounting and auditing.

Teaching Experience

In addition to my professional role, I am deeply committed to giving back to my community. I volunteer as a mentor and tutor with Junior Achievement (JA), a global non-profit organization focused on empowering youth for success in the global economy. Through JA's programs like Company of the Year, Financial Literacy, and My Community, I guide students in developing vital financial literacy skills, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, and promoting community engagement.

My approach to teaching is rooted in practicality and real-world application and is based from my experience in the profession. Whether you're a student aiming to excel academically, a professional seeking to enhance your skills, or an enthusiast looking to delve deeper into accounting and finance, I provide personalised guidance tailored to your goals and aspirations.

I have over 5 years of experience tutoring a diverse range of individuals, including students and aspiring professionals, regardless of their academic background, in Accounting and Finance.

In Accounting, I cover concepts such as:

  1. Consolidated Financial Statements
  2. IFRS 16 leases
  3. IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts
  4. IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
  5. IAS 36 Impairment of assets

In Financial Reporting, I focus on:

  1. Preparation of financial statements
  2. Formation of accounting policies
  3. Presentation and Disclosure
  4. Internal cohesiveness of documents
  5. Mathematical accuracy
  6. Assistance in writing Management/ Director Reports

In Auditing, I deal with IAS – International Standards on Auditing covering basic concepts (e.g., assertions, directional testing, inventory stock count) up to more specialised areas such as auditing significant estimates, PPA – business combinations etc. In Finance, my tutoring extends across crucial concepts such as:

  1. Corporate Finance
  2. Stock Valuation
  3. Bond Valuation
  4. Derivatives
  5. Appraisal Methods
  6. Behavioural Finance
  7. Portfolio Management

Another area of expertise is assisting students with their applications and personal statements for admission to prestigious universities. Having experienced first-hand what it takes to gain admission to these institutions, I offer practical advice, tips, and strategies to help strengthen each application and maximise the chances of acceptance.

In addition to the above concepts, I also have expertise in other areas. Feel free to ask, and I'll be happy to assist you!

Tutoring Approach

I base a lot of my teaching from my work as a Big 4 auditor and frequently draw examples and parallels to real world problems. Additionally, I employ a diverse range of techniques to facilitate learning, with a particular emphasis on active recall methods.

The approach I follow is grounded in two fundamental pillars. Firstly, lessons must be tailor-made to suit the individual, considering their unique goals, objectives, and existing knowledge and experience. Secondly, my overarching aim is to equip you with the necessary skills to independently navigate challenges. This philosophy is underpinned by my belief that Accounting and Finance serve as the universal languages of the business world.

Hence, upon purchase of my details, I offer a free 10-minute consultation to understand the individual's needs and current proficiency level. By understanding your goals and expectations upfront, I can tailor our sessions to best support your individual learning journey, ensuring that we work together effectively towards achieving your academic or professional goals.
