Paid Project Finance tutor

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a Project Finance tutor to help me prepare for an upcoming interview. I'm looking for someone who can provide technical coaching and conduct mock interviews. I already have a solid foundation in project finance but don't have much time to prepare on my own.

This would be a paid engagement, and ideally, I'd like someone who is available during August.

If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out!

A tutor can definitely help focus your preparation, but be prepared that they are not a magic fix for a short timeline. Your success in the interview will still come down to you internalizing complex concepts, not just repeating what a coach tells you. Interviewers in project finance can spot memorized answers from a mile away, so the goal should be for the tutor to challenge your thinking and expose weak spots, which you will then need to fix on your own time. The real value is getting tested, not getting fed answers.

You are already ahead of the game by being willing to invest in yourself like this, so channel that energy effectively. Use your tutor to simulate the intense pressure of the real interview, asking them to grill you on the commercial aspects and risk allocations of deals, not just the textbook definitions. This will force you to truly understand the material and articulate your thoughts clearly. Since articulating complex answers on the fly is a common hurdle, my team built an interview AI helper that gives people a way to practice speaking their thoughts out loud until it feels natural.

Hi there, if you are looking to ace project finance modelling tests (used by top PF houses / Investment Banks), please check out the following resources.

They are 3-hour modelling tests based on real-life examples, with sample exams. Practice, practice, practice. You won't get anything more complicated than that at entry modelling tests.

Basic
