@benjaminwatts
Math tutor and finance professional with SAT/ACT and risk-management expertise; I help students and institutions succeed.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance-trained educator and analyst with nine years in financial analysis and eight years in education. With an MBA in finance and FRM Certification (GARP), I bring quantitative finance and data-analytics rigor to how I teach and assess learning.
As a Math Tutor (01/2018–Present), I tutor top performers for SAT and ACT and teach math, finance, and economics from HS-graduate school level. In the classroom, I taught Honors Algebra I, Geometry, AP Statistics, and Pre-Algebra, improving test scores by an average of 18% in those subjects while also supporting mentorship and coaching.
Before education, I delivered bank risk and lending analytics at Bank of Delmarva, preparing ALLL, Pipeline, Exception, and various at-risk loan reports. I also created forward contracts for currencies and maintained OFAC compliance for bank activity, bringing a detail-oriented, compliance-first mindset to every role I take on.
