My name is Alwyn and I am an educator, entrepreneur, and finance professional.
I have spent over 8,500 hours perfecting my teaching skills and operating various education companies. Over this time, I have taught over 5,500 students across all ages and backgrounds.
I have been exploring the field of finance for the past 7 years through various personal and professional experiences. I have worked across the continuum from Start-up to Fortune 500 and Private Equity to Hedge Fund.

Frequently asked questions
The DropoutEdu team prides itself on providing as much high-quality and accessible educational content for students.
But, joining our classes adds a different level of personalization. If you want us to invest in you with the best possible resources, we need to invest upfront for you to have access to those resources. There’s a cost of doing business.
Would you search for the cheapest brain surgeon? You’d probably want the most experienced and skilled. Likewise, Alwyn leverages his thousands of hours of teaching experience instructing thousands of students to deliver this promise.
Don’t believe it? We offer refunds to students who complete the course, attending each lecture and completing the assigned materials on time, but don’t find value.
We offer a bootcamp. It is live and highly interactive. Our goal is to be personalized to your needs. We are not an on-demand recorded class. We want to learn alongside you on your journey through recruiting.
We prioritize live support for students by being available via video call, phone call, text, and email. We want to be where you are when you are.
Students in the past have noted that the best part of the classes was how much Alwyn cared to make it personalized and get to know each student. He wants the best and will go out of his way to make this happen.
Books are great! We recommend several for students to read during and after the course to further expand your knowledge.
But, why is it that you attend classes at university? Isn’t it easier to buy a textbook and learn?
A big component of our class is that it is live and highly interactive. This ensures that students are highly disciplined and leveraging all resources we offer. This means that by the end of the 10-week program you come out ready to interview if you follow through with all the work.
Yes, we offer flexible payment options for students whose parents do not have the financial means.
We want to ensure that any motivated student who wants to learn is not turned away because of finances. So, we will try our best to accommodate you. Please send all requests to support@dropoutedu.com
Yes, we offer refunds for any student that attends all the lectures and completes all the assigned material on time but did not improve their skills.
We are very confident that you will find lots of value from the course if you put the required amount of effort. A lack of effort is not a substitute for anything. There are no silver bullets and we are looking to train only the serious candidates who are willing to put the time and necessary effort to improve their skills.
All our classes are held online through Google Meets. Students do not need any additional technology or hardware past a laptop with a webcam that can connect to the internet.
Classes start the weekend of May 25th. This depends on the specific class you select.
We want every student to attend each class, participate, and ask questions to get the full experience. Skipping class reduces the level of discipline and structure, making it easier to fall behind.
If you must skip a class, we urge students to email us at least 1 week in advance, so that we can add you to another class timing for that week.
Expect to commit 7 hours on homework each week outside of class. Initially, it will take longer to get acquainted with Excel, but with practice, you will get comfortable with Excel and the homework process.
We have streamlined all homework and projects to things that will help you with your interviews and internships. This means that we will give you all the financial concepts and financial modeling skills needed to hit the desk running.
Classes are designed to be highly participatory. This means that all students must be visible on camera, asking questions, and answering questions. Alwyn is very serious about teaching classes where students are fully engaged and seeking to maximize how much they learn per class.
Classes will be a mix of learning financial concepts through class materials, examples, and problems. We will also go through financial modeling in detail in class.
You can enroll in any of the classes by clicking courses at the top of any page and selecting enroll on the page in the class that best fits your schedule.
If you don’t see enrollment options it may be because you are searching for the next term or that classes are full. You can email us at support@dropoutedu.com for more information.
