Building Financial Knowledge That Lasts
We started Inwordfins because too many people felt overwhelmed by investing. The jargon, the complexity, the fear of making mistakes—it all adds up.
Since 2019, we've been working to change that. Not through quick fixes or empty promises, but by teaching fundamental concepts that actually matter when you're making decisions about your money.
How We Got Here
Our founder spent years watching friends and family struggle with investment basics. They'd ask questions, get buried in confusing advice, and often just give up entirely.
That frustration led to something productive. We built a learning framework that strips away the noise and focuses on what beginners actually need to know first.
It's not revolutionary. But it works because we don't try to make investing seem simpler than it is—we just explain it better.
What Guides Our Work
Clarity Over Cleverness
Financial education doesn't need fancy packaging. We explain concepts directly, without trying to impress anyone with complexity.
Realistic Expectations
Learning to invest takes time. We're upfront about that timeline and honest about what our programs can and can't do for you.
Practical Application
Theory matters, but only when you can actually use it. Every lesson connects to real decisions you'll face as an investor.
The People Behind the Programs
Our team comes from different backgrounds, but we share a common belief: financial education should be accessible without being dumbed down.
Linnea Drummond
Linnea spent a decade teaching economics before joining us in 2020. She designs our curriculum with a focus on the concepts that actually matter when you're starting out. Her approach: if a student can't explain it back to you in plain English, we haven't taught it well enough.
Tavish Pemberton
Tavish worked in financial analysis for years before realizing he preferred explaining concepts to executing trades. He joined our team in 2021 and brings real-world experience to every lesson. He's particularly good at breaking down why certain strategies work in theory but fail in practice.
How We Teach
Foundation First
You can't understand portfolio diversification if you don't grasp what a stock actually represents. We start with genuine fundamentals and build from there.
Context Matters
Every concept gets connected to realistic scenarios. Not hypothetical perfection, but the messy situations you'll actually encounter when managing money.
Practice With Purpose
Our exercises reflect real decision-making processes. You'll work through examples that mirror what you'll face outside the classroom.
Honest Feedback
We tell you when something's unclear or when you're missing a key piece. Learning works better when instructors are direct about where you stand.

Our next cohort begins in March 2026. Classes fill based on enrollment timing, so if you're interested in joining, it makes sense to explore the program structure sooner rather than later.
