James W.
Private tutor in Toronto, Canada
Education
I am a founding Partner of Castlegrove Capital Advisors LLC, a privately-owned, independent merchant bank. Formerly, I was a research associate at an Asia-based private investment fund (~$50mm AUM), where I covered public, NA-listed manufacturing as well as tech & media companies. Prior to that, I worked as an investment banking analyst at CIBC Capital Markets in the Power & Utilities group. I earned an Honors Business Administration (HBA) degree, with Distinction, from Ivey Business School at Western University. Previously, I studied two years of Chemical Engineering at the University of Toronto before transferring to the University of Western Ontario.
Experience
Looking to improve your score on the GMAT? Look no further! I got a 760 out of 800 on my first and only attempt (Q50/V44/IR 7/AWA 6). Based on my student's goals, abilities, and time, I intend to formulate a study plan and will provide motivation, guidance, and problem-solving along the way. The GMAT seems intimidating at first, but I fully believe that anyone can do well with discipline and guidance. I have seven years of previous part-time tutoring experience throughout University and High School level subjects. Some of what I've helped students with includes second and first-year financial/managerial accounting, corporate finance, macroeconomics, first-year inorganic/organic chemistry and high school chemistry to students ranging from 16-30 years old, and entrance math examinations for colleges in Ontario.
