Mandarin Tutors: 1-1 Mandarin Preparation

Passionate professional with mathematical finance and everything utilising mathematics. I hold a CQF with Distinction, an MSc in Economics from LSE, and currently work in applied financial engineering advisory, where I benchmark and validate exotic derivatives pricing models daily — from Bermudan options and callable bonds to inflation-linked swaps and Monte Carlo simulations.
My work sits at the intersection of quantitative theory and real-world application: building independent pricing models, calibrating volatility surfaces, computing CVA/DVA adjustments, and stress-testing credit risk frameworks. I also code actively in Python, C++, and VBA, and pursue personal research in stochastic expansion methods for exotic option pricing.
In my courses, I bring this practitioner perspective directly into the classroom. If you want to understand not just the textbook formulas but how derivatives are actually priced, validated and risk-managed in industry, you’re in the right place.

Hello there!

My name is Abbey, I’m a 3rd Year Vet Med student in the Graduate Entry programme at the University of Edinburgh. Before this degree, I completed my BSc in Veterinary Biosciences and an MRes of Parasite Control at Aberystwyth University.

Outside the classroom, I am very active, acting as captain of the vet school’s badminton team that competes monthly in the local league with weekly training. I also am one of the student ambassadors at vet school, so am very familiar with the runnings of the school.

I have been involved in several extracurricular activities since secondary school, ranging from Model United Nations, organising blood drives, to being the managing editor of the school newspaper just to name a few! This carried into my university years in my first degree, restarting the Animal & Veterinary Society and holding roles such as President, Vice-President and Secretary, and being a part of a 10-year consecutive winning dance team as well.

Hi there, I’m Louis and I’m currently in my 4th year studying medicine at Leicester. My journey into medicine was not simple and I’ve come to realise that’s often the case for many of us.

Education holds immense value, particularly in the medical field. However I advocate for a holistic approach, one that prioritises excelling academically while also nurturing a well-rounded life. It’s crucial to be the best version of ourselves to effectively aid others in the long run.

Throughout my academic journey, I’ve honed qualities like discipline, efficiency, and simplicity. These traits, finely sharpened in the rigours of medical school, have contributed significantly to my personal growth. I owe this growth to medical school and I want others to feel what I feel.

My aspiration extends beyond personal development. I’m keen on guiding aspiring medical students, sharing insights to help them avoid the pitfalls and challenges I encountered. I believe aiding others in their journey to medical school not only fosters their growth as professionals but also nurtures their personal evolution. It’s about shaping not just future medics, but well-rounded individuals who can make a meaningful difference.
