Finance Tutors : 1-1 Finance Preparation

Hello prospective students and parents,

I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you! With over a decade of teaching experience at esteemed institutions like the University of Exeter and Bournemouth University, I am deeply committed to providing high-quality education that prepares students for success in their careers. As a Programme Leader in Accounting for both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, I have had the privilege of guiding students towards achieving their academic and professional goals. Additionally, as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), I bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to the table. My training and skill set are tailored to equip students for the demands of the job market, particularly in fields such as accountancy, audit, finance, banking, and investment banking. Whether you’re aiming to pursue a career in these areas or seeking to enhance your skills for professional growth, I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

During my time in school and at university, I always believed in putting in my best and full efforts into all my subjects, and my modules, even the ones that didn’t interest me much! (In school, I had a GPA of 3.9, 7A*s in IGCSE OLevels, and I faired really well even in subjects like ICT, which were not my favorite! In uni of course, I loved studying economics and mathematics which led to my First Class Honors. And in terms of post grad, I’m pursuing a finance professional qualification, CFA, and the depth and difficulty of this has pushed me into a realm of discovering and ultimately crossing all my limitations in achieving success- I’m currently studying for the third level, having successfully completed the first and second).

I truly believe the best results are achieved when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves to be a better version of who we are. And I am passionate about guiding young souls into the best possible path for their education, learning and exploring their skills and helping them build new ones and hopefully allowing them to tap into the best version of themselves. My students always teach me new things as much as I teach them, I believe that their unwavering flames and zest for life needs to be carefully nurtured by their teachers and I hope to be someone who can be that person!

I am Sameer Siddiqui, a quantitative researcher with five years of professional experience in Python engineering, data pipelines, and applied machine learning. Currently, I am pursuing my MSc in Quantitative Finance at the University of Glasgow, where I focus on stochastic calculus, derivatives pricing, portfolio theory, and quantitative optimisation. My background combines technical depth with financial expertise, having built and deployed 100+ real-time data pipelines, automated reporting systems, and machine learning models in Azure Kubernetes Service to improve efficiency and decision-making. I have also developed trading algorithms, backtested strategies, and conducted risk analysis, strengthening my foundation in financial engineering. With hands-on expertise across Python, SQL, and deep learning frameworks, I thrive at the intersection of technology and finance, driven by curiosity, problem-solving, and a passion for markets.
