I have over 20 years professional experience in financial services (investment banking, credit ratings and asset management). I worked in investment banking in New York at Bear Stearns, credit ratings in Moody's and Fitch Ratings (London & New York) and asset management in London. My asset class expertise is in Leveraged Finance, High-Yield Bonds and U.S. Municipal Finance.
I have extensive experience in tutoring undergraduate and postgraduate students (including those in MBA, Executive MBA and Masters in finance programs). I teach the following subjects:
- corporate finance
- accounting
- financial statement analysis
- derivatives & risk-management
- real-estate finance
- introductory & advanced financial modeling & valuation in Excel
- statistics and econometrics
- CFA (all levels)

I also provide students and professionals with career advice and assistance with BA/MSc. in Finance, Management and MBA programs to the US and UK. This includes advice on university selection, personal statement guidance and in-depth interview preparation.
I specialize in teaching finance to students with no prior background in the subject, whether they have just started a finance degree or are preparing for professional exams that require foundational knowledge. I understand the challenges that come with learning something new and place a lot of emphasis on making complex topics more approachable and easier to grasp.
My teaching approach emphasizes active learning, encouraging students to engage with the material while providing detailed guidance along the way. I support students in areas relevant to their coursework and exam preparation, ensuring they build both confidence and understanding. With highly flexible hours, I can also accommodate varying schedules to suit individual needs.

Ishani was excellent, we spent sufficient time working on exam technique and the relevant topic areas.
Daniel Acutt
I really needed help to get into the detail of my assignments and learning the concepts as we had very limited time. Ben introduced me to Ishani who became my tutor for almost 18 months. She was always on time, always prepared and extremely knowledgeable in all elements of Finance. I would not hesitate to book with Ishani again in the future as the professional in this field.
Simon (Jessy Keely)
I am so grateful to Ishani - she is brilliant. She put me at ease, was very patient and thorough and I would not have felt half as confident going into the CFA exam, had I not had her help. Thank you Ishani and thank you Profs!

Being an independent finance student it was difficult to grasp finance-related models and theories. After taking lessons from Prof’s finance tutor, I was able to understand the finance world better than I initially understood it to be. Furthermore, the tutor had a considerable practical experience due to which both the theoretical and applied aspects of the financial model was coherently explained to me. Also, the client liaison manager did a fantastic job of understanding my difficulties and linking me with the appropriate tutor. I wish the prices were a bit more affordable so that I could take more lessons from the Profs.
