About Robert
I am a retired Professor of Finance who enjoys tutoring grades 6 through first-year college in mathematics. I particularly like figuring out how to present topics in ways that meet the needs of particular students. I like to see the “light bulb go off”. I have tutored or been a teacher for over 30 years. I started off in college as a physics major, with a minor in math, but switched to finance after one year of graduate school. I worked for many years in the investment management business, mostly figuring out how to apply mathematics and computers to investing, but also teaching investment professionals about quantitative investment concepts. Later, I taught undergraduate and graduate Finance at Fordham University and other schools. I have been an Associate Editor of several professional journals, including the Financial Analysts Journal and the Journal of Investment Management. I have a Ph.D. in Finance and Economics from NYU. I have published over 50 papers in professional and academic journals.

My teaching method is person to person discussion customized to the student. Explanations are tailored to the student's level of understanding and background. Providing the intuition behind the mathematics is necessary for students to do well. I excel at that.

I've co-published many articles with Robert in rigorous academic finance journals beginning when we were colleagues at Fordham University. He is personable, brilliant and explains very complicated ideas in very simple, intuitive ways. Very patient.
Dean Leistikow (Prof Emeritus)I have known Robert for more than 30 years. We both participated in the most sophisticated discussions of financial math at the best investment banks and insurance companies of that time, such as Solomon Brothers, MetLife. Bob demonstrated outstanding abilities to do complex math assessments just on a fly impressing everybody around. In my opinion, any student of his is bound to learn a lot not just about formal calculus but about the process of math thinking itself.
I have been tutored by Dr. Ferguson through high school and college - from algebra to Calculus 2.
Dr. Ferguson made himself available when I needed him. He was very flexible. I could call him with quick questions almost any time and get answers.
Dr. Ferguson explained concepts very well and I learned enough to get excellent grades.
I just graduated from college - Magna Cum Laude!!
I strongly recommend Dr. Ferguson - he is great.Bob is a great math tutor. I was taking a basic statistics course required to get my Masters Degree in Community Mental Health Nursing and could not grasp many of the concepts. Bob figured out ways to make the ideas intuitive. I passed the course with a good grade and received my degree.
