Mastering Money: Personal and Business Finance Essentials

19.94 £ /h

Understanding personal and business finance management is a vital life skill that empowers individuals to make informed decisions, plan for the future, and achieve their goals. For children and young adults, learning about finance helps develop habits like saving, budgeting, and understanding the value of money early on. This foundation sets the stage for responsible financial behavior throughout life.

For adults, personal finance knowledge ensures better control over daily expenses, debt management, and long-term financial planning, such as retirement savings and investments. Similarly, understanding business finance is crucial for entrepreneurs and professionals to manage cash flow, assess risks, and make strategic decisions that drive growth and sustainability.

At any age, financial literacy fosters independence, reduces stress, and equips individuals with the tools to navigate economic uncertainties, ultimately leading to a more secure and successful life.

Finance, accounting & economics – clearly explained, with practical support
My name is Kian, an experienced tutor from Bern. I guide students, career starters, and professionals on their journey through the world of numbers—whether in their studies, exam preparation, or in their everyday professional lives.

With my structured, motivating, and practical approach, I'll help you not only solve problems, but also truly understand economic relationships, confidently handle numbers, and confidently apply financial knowledge in real-life situations. My lessons are personalized, accessible, and at eye level.

Who I am – and why I teach:
I have many years of experience teaching financial and economic topics – from accounting to business administration to financial analysis. I teach students from various disciplines as well as professionals who want to expand their business skills.

In addition to my teaching activities, I have participated in various business projects, including budget planning, financial modeling, and cost accounting. This combination of theory and practice makes my teaching particularly realistic and, at the same time, easy to understand.

I love it when complex content suddenly makes sense – and when people realize they can handle business topics confidently and strategically. For me, tutoring is more than just imparting knowledge – it's a collaborative process of developing ideas that builds self-confidence.

What you can expect from me:

-Individual lessons with a focus on finance, bookkeeping, accounting & economics
-Support with exams, homework, projects or professional challenges
-Step-by-step explanations – practical, clear and adapted to your situation
-Communication of business contexts and financial decision-making logic
-Development of long-term numerical understanding and structured thinking
-Flexible lessons in Bern or online – competent, individual & sustainable

Why I can help you understand finances:

Because I know how difficult economics can seem at first glance – and because I can help you look behind the terms, formulas and processes:
How companies tick, how to interpret numbers, and how to make smart decisions from them.

With me, you won't just learn how to make bookings correctly—you'll learn how to think like an entrepreneur. I'll guide you not only in understanding business, but also in working with it confidently.

Learn finance.
Understand how the economy works – and how you can use it to your advantage.
If you are ready to think economically, I am ready to accompany you.
