You can start chatting with Nora before you get started.
Hi! I’m Nora, and I’m so excited to help with preparation for investment banking and private equity interviews, as well as MBA applications. My approach is supportive, practical, and highly tailored, so that you fully understand the questions you are answering and what the interviewer is hoping to learn from you. I’ve spent years in investment banking and private equity, and love helping people sharpen their stories, technical skills, and confidence. Teaching has also always been a big part of what I enjoy: in college, I spent three years as an economics TA and tutor. Whether you’re starting from scratch or finalizing your prep, I’m excited to help you put your best foot forward!
