About Me
I’m a Technology Investment Banking Senior Associate at Arma Partners with 8+ years’ experience across investment banking, M&A, corporate finance, and accounting. I’ve advised on multi-billion-pound technology transactions and built the strategic business plans, dynamic SaaS operating models, and valuation frameworks that drive high-stakes decisions. Before banking, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant at KPMG, working in the technology and healthcare sectors, experience that gives me a unique vantage point for coaching aspiring bankers from a variety of backgrounds.

I know exactly what top firms look for - having navigated the IB recruitment process myself and served on internal hiring teams where I reviewed CVs, led interviews, and helped select incoming analyst and intern classes. Whether you’re refining your technical skills, crafting a compelling story, or trying to stand out from a non-target background, I’ve been on both sides of the table and can guide you through each step with clarity and precision.

- Why work with me? -
- Extensive network and insight into all major headhunters, banks, and funds
- Proven expertise across IB recruitment - as both a candidate and an interviewer
- Specialist knowledge of Big 4 → IB transitions, plus broader career moves into finance
- Flexible schedule and responsive support, even at short notice
- Tailored, detail-driven coaching designed to maximise your competitive edge

Hello everyone,

My name is Chi-Chi, and I am thrilled to be your tutor for this course. I bring a rich background in finance and investment management, having worked as an Equity Research Analyst at the largest financial data company in Taiwan. My experience includes conducting extensive industry research, performing financial analysis, and providing weekly stock recommendations that achieved remarkable returns. Additionally, I have hands-on experience as a Derivatives, Index, and Equity Trader, developing quantitative trading strategies and achieving impressive results.

I hold an MSc in Investment Management from Bayes Business School in London, where I excelled in modules such as Portfolio Management, Quantitative Methods, and Advanced Financial Statement Analysis. Also, I expect to graduate with distinction. I have a double major in Business Administration and Finance from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, where I ranked in the top 10% of my class.

Throughout this course, we will delve into various aspects of investment management and financial analysis. You can expect to learn about:
1. Industry research and market dynamics
2. Comprehensive financial analysis, including discounted cash flow (DCF) and company valuations
3. Risk management techniques and tools such as Python
4. Practical strategies for trading and investment

My teaching approach will focus on real-world applications and hands-on exercises to ensure you gain practical skills that can be directly applied in the finance industry. I encourage an interactive and engaging learning environment, so please feel free to ask questions and participate actively in discussions.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you and helping you succeed in your studies and future careers in finance.

Best regards,

Chi-Chi

→ AAT Accounting qualifications
→ GCSE Business
→ IGCSE Business
→ A-Level Business
→ International A-Level Business

→ Business, management and finance-related courses

I also support students following major UK and international exam boards, including:

→ Cambridge International

➤ TOPICS I HELP STUDENTS MASTER

I support students with important Financial Studies, Accounting and Business topics such as:

→ Personal finance
→ Saving, borrowing and budgeting
→ Financial products and services
→ Interest rates and inflation
→ Risk and return
→ Sources of finance
→ Cash flow forecasts
→ Break-even analysis

➤ CLEAR, STRUCTURED & EXAM-FOCUSED LESSONS

Students learn how to:

→ understand financial and business concepts

→ understand accounting statements
→ structure longer written answers clearly

My lessons focus on all three parts:

→ clear understanding of the topic
→ correct use of formulas
→ clean calculation steps
→ strong written explanations
→ clear exam structure
→ confident analysis and evaluation

This helps students improve not only their knowledge, but also the way they present answers in exams and coursework-style tasks.

➤ SWISS PRECISION WITH MODERN ANALYTICAL THINKING

I combine the precision of the Swiss education system with a modern background in Data Science, AI and mathematical analysis.

This allows me to teach Financial Studies, Accounting and Business in a logical, practical and highly structured way. I help students understand the thinking behind financial decisions, accounting results and business performance.

➤ MY GOAL FOR EVERY STUDENT

My goal is to help students move from confusion to clarity — and from uncertain answers to strong performance.

I want every student to feel more confident when working with financial calculations, accounting statements, business case studies and longer written exam questions.

With the right structure, clear explanations and regular practice, students can make real progress and approach their exams or university modules with much more confidence.
