The Finance in Practice method
Every topic goes through four stages.
- 01
Learn
Each topic starts with the format that suits the candidate: independent study, tutor-led teaching, or a mix.
- 02
Solve
Official curriculum questions are worked through in session. The candidate explains their reasoning, and the cause of each error is identified: concept, formula, interpretation, calculation, or timing.
- 03
Apply
Each topic ends with a short practical task, such as a spreadsheet, company report, bond-pricing exercise, or investment decision.
- 04
Revise
Short, spaced reviews revisit earlier topics through recall quizzes, retried errors, and mixed question sets.
three ways to learn
Self-study
Candidate studies the curriculum independently. Sessions focus on questions and weak areas.
Tutor-led
The tutor teaches the topic live, followed immediately by question work.
Hybrid
Candidate reads first. The tutor teaches only the sections that remain unclear.

I met Raza when I was in university and I was struggling so much with my courses because I didn’t know anything Raza taught me everything from a-z and after meeting him I was able to be the only one answering in class and teaching my friends concepts I really appreciate him and he really really cares about his students he also made me enroll for cfa and he would overcompensate by making us exams and a platform to see how much we grew from the beginning till now on excel
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How is this different from a regular CFA course?
A regular course teaches a fixed lecture plan to a group. This coaching is one-to-one and built around the candidate’s own attempts at official curriculum questions. Each error is traced to its cause, whether concept, formula, interpretation, calculation or timing. Each topic then ends with a short practical task.
Can the tutor teach topics, or is it only question practice?
Both are available. Each topic can be studied independently, taught live by the tutor, or handled as a hybrid where the candidate reads first and the tutor covers only the unclear parts. The format can change from one topic to the next.
Is the CFA Institute curriculum still needed?
Yes. Registered candidates access the curriculum, practice questions and mock exams through the CFA Institute Learning Ecosystem. Sessions are built around that material, not around separate notes. Finance in Practice is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CFA Institute.
Can coaching start at any time, and how are sessions priced?
Coaching can begin on request, with no fixed cohort start date. Sessions can be booked singly, monthly, or as exam-season support. Fees are discussed after the free Portfolio Review, because the scope depends on the candidate’s needs.
Does coaching guarantee a pass?
No. Results depend on the candidate’s preparation and effort. Coaching improves the quality of practice by finding the cause of each error and a clear next step.
Is this for you?
Designed for committed CFA Level I candidates who want personal guidance. Not intended as a passive lecture series, and no pass is guaranteed.
