• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  Well, my crypto journey began three years ago. I was very interested to understand this new technology. At first, I performed telegram tasks so that I can earn some free cryptocurrencies. Then I took some courses on how to invest in cryptocurrencies, but the courses I took never elaborated on the fundamentals and risks associated with investing in crypto. So I took it upon myself to understand it and teach others who don't.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  My favorite topic is talking about the fundamentals of the crypto market. This is so important because people think that cryptocurrencies are all about performing technical analysis, but what they don't know is that in the long run, fundamental analysis beats technical analysis. I don't dislike any topic.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  Yes of course, Warren Buffett (the american business magnate, investor, and philanthropist). He is the patron saint of investing for anyone who has dabbled in picking stocks. I applied his investing strategy into the crypto markets. Also, Andrei Jikh (a YouTuber) made personal finance, investing and crypto education fun for me!

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Concise communication, level-headedness, patience and understanding.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  I remember this one time when I was learning technical analysis. I was making somewhat of a profit consistently for over a month. When it stopped being consistent I told myself that trading was a scam 😂.
  
  For anyone reading this, don't give up. Find a good sufficiently back-tested strategy and stay consistent. Even if you're not seeing the desired results now. In the long run your equity curve will be choppy, but guess what? it'll rise.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  Honestly, the only challenges I'm facing at the moment is trying to keep up with the technology. There are so much innovation in the crypto space, catching up can be difficult.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  Well, I've always been passionate about personal finance and investing. I also enjoy teaching and learning new things. I can teach anything I understand.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering this interview questions :-P) ?

  With great responsibility comes great value. I am a superprof because I am ready to share my knowledge and passion, I arouse curiosity in my students and they can learn confidently.
