About Giovanna Davitti

I have been a full time tutor for over 7 years building on my long professional teaching and training experience.

I have therefore thousands of hours of teaching experience, so I can quickly adapt to what each student requires.

Many MBA students simply do not have the necessary economics, accounting or finance background to keep up with their courses - within weeks, they are struggling badly and doubting their intelligence. I reassure them that they are not alone and am able to provide the necessary stepping stones they need to catch up with the class and often excel. This is very much what happened with J.L., who was convinced finance was not for her simply because she did not have the right foundations and once these were patiently laid she took off and got a first in her exam. L.P. was struggling with corporate finance despite having studied it before; I prepared bespoke spreadsheets for him to get him comfortable with all possible permutations of the exercises and develop and intuitive understanding of the subject and he went on to pass the exam without problems.

Professionals often contact me when they find themselves out of their depth, due to a promotion or career move. Here I combine my academic knowledge with my extensive experience of the business world so we work together with the specific problems they are facing while trying to build up their understanding of the accounting information they are presented, for example, or their ability to check the financial modelling done by their juniors.

Finally, several individuals have asked me to devise bespoke material so that they can understand the general principles of investing and either take over from their advisors or at least understand what their advisors tell them at their regular meetings. Women in particular find this knowledge incredibly empowering and sometimes become good friends, consulting me from time to time even when our formal lessons have come to an end.
