About Me

The student behind this project.

I am Lyla Kazmi, a 10th grader at the United Nations International School in New York City. I will be pursuing the International Baccalaureate diploma in eleventh and twelfth grade. I have a keen interest in economics, finance, and advocacy.

Economics

Understanding why prices move, why scarcity matters, and how choices add up across a whole society.

Finance

How companies raise money, how markets price them, and what the numbers on a chart actually mean.

Advocacy

Using what you learn to speak up for others — and making sure financial knowledge isn't only for a few.

Why I built this

Stock markets can feel like a language nobody teaches you. This tool lets you pick a company you already know, see it beside its competitors, watch how the price has moved over anything from a day to a decade, and read a plain-English explanation of what might be pushing it. Every lesson is written for students, and the tutor explains ideas instead of telling anyone what to buy.

FinLit is an educational project for classroom use. Nothing here is investment advice, and the one-month outlook is a maths-and-news classroom estimate, not a forecast.
