About Octavian
I am a full-time private tutor specializing in quantitative finance, CFA preparation, and mathematics for finance, with an Oxford research background and over 15 years of teaching experience across undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels.
My background is in Physics and Mathematics — an MSc from Paris, a BEng from Toulouse, and an MSc from Oxford — which means I approach finance from the quantitative end. Probability theory, stochastic calculus, linear algebra, time-series modeling, statistical inference, optimization — these are not subjects I teach from a textbook. They are tools I have used in active research, and I teach them with the depth and precision that finance at the highest level demands.
My students' outcomes reflect this. A professional I prepared for the CFA examinations and quantitative interviews at leading hedge funds in New York and London described my command of stochastic calculus, multivariate analysis, and probability theory as exceptional — and my ability to make complex ideas genuinely intuitive as what set me apart. A third-year Quantitative Finance student at Regent's University I worked with intensively passed his exams and went on to build his own startup. These results are not outliers — they reflect what is possible when the mathematics of finance is taught properly rather than superficially.
I work with students and professionals at every stage: undergraduate and graduate Finance and Economics students — in New York, that means Columbia, NYU Stern, Fordham, Baruch, and beyond, alongside my long track record with students at LSE, Imperial, and UCL; MBA students handling quantitative finance coursework; candidates preparing for CFA Levels I, II, and III; professionals preparing for quantitative interviews at Wall Street banks, asset managers, and hedge funds; and applicants to top business schools — Columbia, Stern, and Wharton, as well as LBS, INSEAD, Bocconi, and ESADE — where strong quantitative performance is essential.
I work with a small number of students at a time and take on only those who are serious about their goals. Get in touch to discuss your level and timeline.

Finance at the level that matters — the CFA, hedge fund interviews, top MBA programs, college finals — is fundamentally a mathematical subject. Students who treat it as a memorization exercise will always hit a ceiling. Students who understand the underlying probability, statistics, and calculus can handle questions they have never seen before. That is the distinction I focus on from the first session.
My approach is diagnostic first. Before covering any material, I identify precisely where the gaps are — whether that is in the mathematics itself, the financial intuition, the ability to work under exam conditions, or the specific question types that are costing points. The study plan is built entirely around that diagnosis.
For CFA candidates, I work across all three levels, with particular strength in the quantitative methods, fixed income, derivatives, and portfolio management sections — the areas where mathematical rigor separates candidates who pass from those who do not. The CFA curriculum is identical worldwide, so this preparation transfers to New York without losing a step.
For quantitative finance interviews at banks and hedge funds, I prepare candidates for the specific types of problems these interviews use: probability puzzles, stochastic processes, statistical inference, and mathematical finance under time pressure. This is highly specialized preparation that requires someone who has worked at the intersection of advanced mathematics and finance — which is precisely my background.
For MBA and business school preparation, I build the quantitative confidence that top programs require — both for the GMAT and GRE quant sections and for the finance and statistics coursework students encounter once enrolled.
For undergraduate and graduate students, I cover the full curriculum: Probability and Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Derivatives Pricing, Portfolio Theory, Econometrics, and Quantitative Methods — at every institution, from the Ivy League to smaller business schools.
Within 24 hours of every session, I send the student fully typed notes of what we covered, theoretical refreshers on the concepts that need further attention, and a written summary of where they stand and what to focus on before next time. For school- and college-age students, parents are copied in as standard. This is part of every lesson I teach, without exception.
I teach online and in person throughout New York City. Minimum one hour per session. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged in full.

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.View more recommendations
