Finance and CFA Tutor — Oxford-Trained Quant Specialist | MBA, Hedge Fund & Business School Prep

Who passed those nasty Calculus and College Physics? Me, me, me! And who rescued me? Octavian did.

I owe him my 6-figure job at one of the top Wall Street hedge funds! He made me work very hard and I aced the quantitative interviews!

Octavian has been extremely helpful with my 2 boys. He worked with Jonah, my eldest on College Physics and Engineering and Jeremiah was so happy to score an almost perfect 1580 on the SAT! Hiring him saved us hundreds of thousand in tuition fees. I highly recommend him.

Octavian helped my daughter Sandra overcome her dyslexia and be among the best in her class. She scored 780 on the Math portion of the SAT. Sandra now actually thinks and no longer learns formulas by heart without understanding their meaning. Her fear of Math is gone and she is now doing very well, majoring in Economics.

My son Jerry worked with Octavian throughout high school, and I saw firsthand the impact he had. Jerry always put in the effort, but math never came easily to him. Octavian helped him develop a much deeper understanding of the material instead of just showing him how to get through homework problems.

Over time, Jerry earned A's in both Algebra and Calculus and scored a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section. He was also admitted to Columbia University, which meant he could receive an outstanding education without having to move across the country.

What I appreciated most was that Octavian treated tutoring as more than preparing for the next test. He expected Jerry to think, explain his reasoning, and really master the concepts. That approach paid off.

I would recommend Octavian to any student who is willing to work hard but finds math more difficult than other subjects. He has a way of making challenging ideas much more approachable, and in Jerry's case, the results spoke for themselves.
