About the store
Hi, I'm Tyler, and thanks for visiting my store! I'm a high school teacher with extensive experience having taught Economics & Personal Finance, U.S. History, Government and Algebra.
Prior to teaching, I worked in a corporate role where I was putting decks together regularly for a variety of different audiences. I try to approach teaching the same way I would any other job in that any material I create, I would be comfortable with anyone seeing it, whether it be the CEO or the school principal. I take a lot of pride in producing high quality teaching material because if I were a student, that's what I'd want to look at in class, and if I were buying from another teacher, that's what I'd want to be buying.
Please always feel free to message me with any comments or questions about my material, and I always appreciate reviews!

Diversification in Practice - Complete Bundle
This is a great exercise for demonstrating to students the power of diversification (or lack thereof). Most financial recommendations are limited to just a statement that you need to diversify, without any further information as to what that actually means in practice. The purpose of this product is to try to give students an idea of what level of diversification may be ideal. There are six different scenarios included in the deck, each of which produces a different compounded annual return over

Compound Interest Worksheet
This is a 2-page worksheet with compound interest problems. I generally give this to students immediately after having introduced the concept of compounding.

Teaching style
I use a variety of different teaching methods, but you will find a lot of slide decks in my store because that's how I'm most comfortable introducing a new concept. I try to incorporate games and activities whenever possible, and you will see some of those throughout my store, whether it be Timeline, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Name that President, etc. I also try my best to come up with analogies for difficult topics, which is why you'll see things in my store such as Burgernomics, Monetary Policy Football, Organ Failure vs Banking Crisis, etc. I'm always trying to come up with new games and activities for my classes, so I'm constantly adding new material to my store!
