    Professional poker player during college, experience playing on TV in European Poker Tournament

    I was a professional poker player during college. I played in a European Poker Tournament in Barcelona and was selected to play on the TV table. I am a native speaker of English with years of teaching experience. I have taught around the world in actual classrooms and online. I graduated from a top 10 business school in the United States, and my experience thus far is teaching finance, modeling, programming, and business English. I am conversational in Portuguese and Argentinean Spanish, and I am elementary in Chinese (basic conversational phrases, numbers, dates, time, etc.). I have a degree in Finance and Economic Consulting from the IU Bloomington School of Business, and I graduated from perhaps the most prestigious finance program in the world, the Kelley Undergraduate Investment Banking Network Seminar. I have taught professional Business English to global organizations such as the World Bank Group and IFC. I have a 170-hour TEFL & TESOL certification from ITA (International TEFL Academy). I have tremendous experience in financial modeling and Excel. I have taught classes in modeling, advanced Excel, SQL, and even web programming (Python, PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript). I have built and launched web apps available on the Google Play store. I am a graduate of the Johnson & Johnson Finance Leadership Development Program and have worked as a senior financial analyst and manager at various Fortune 500 companies and PE firms.

    About Christian M.

    (1)
    Chris became a CPT (Certified Personal Trainer) in his teen years, obtaining various certifications including components in corrective exercise and nutrition. He worked in a gym in the Greater NYC area with repeat clients while attending college. In summers he would go to an Indian reservation in South Florida to play poker and live off poker money in Miami. He transferred to IU Bloomington to obtain a degree in finance and attend what was considered the top undergraduate finance program in the world based on hiring % and starting salary, the Undergraduate IBN (Seminar). Chris took various programming classes in college. During his final summer at IUB, he traveled around Europe using poker winnings, and was on TV in a European poker tournament. Chris accepted an early exploding offer from on-campus recruiting with J&J into the FLDP (Finance Leadership Development Program) during a recession while he was a member of the IBN. Chris teaches poker, tech, and English. He owns a web app.
