Helping you understand finance, excel academically, and succeed professionally.
Midterm didn’t go your way?
You studied. The exam asked something different.
You sat in the lectures and thought you understood it. Then the exam asked a slightly different question and the points were gone. That is rarely a talent problem. It is usually a setup problem, and it is fixable before the next exam or the final.
- “I understood the lecture, but the questions tripped me.”
- “I studied for hours and still got a 60.”
- “I don’t know which formula, or which calculator function, it wants.”
Bring me your first exam and we will find where the points went.

01 · Why you’re stuck
You don’t need another lecture. You need someone to find the gap.
You’ve seen the formula. You watched the professor work the example, and it made sense while they explained it. Then you sit down with a new problem, or a midterm question, and don’t know the first move.
Usually it traces back to one idea from a few weeks ago that never fully landed. Finance builds on itself. If time value of money is shaky, bonds get harder. If discounted cash flow is fuzzy, valuation gets harder. If you never saw why a formula works, you won’t know when to use it.
A private session skips what you already know and goes straight to the part that’s slowing you down. If your first midterm went worse than you expected, that’s the best place to start.
For parents
A big salary doesn’t teach money. A class they actually understand does.
Plenty of high earners never learned how money works, and it shows up later as stress, debt and goals that keep slipping. Your kid is taking finance now. Helping them truly get it is the cheapest time to learn it.
02 · How a session works
Diagnosis first. Then the fix.
- 01
Before we meet
Send me what you're stuck on: a problem set, slides, your last midterm, a practice exam, last week's quiz.
- 02
On Zoom
You walk me through a problem out loud. It usually takes a few minutes to hear where the reasoning goes sideways. We fix that piece and rebuild from there, so you know why each step works.
- 03
Before we finish
The real test: a fresh problem with new numbers and different wording, the way a midterm would ask it, and you solve it yourself. I don't complete assignments or hand over answers. You leave able to do the work.
03 · Subjects
Pick your course. We start there.
Three subjects from high school to MBA. Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm.

Dojo
Practice on your own, between sessions.
Business Dojo, our self-study course on learn.onlinefinancetutor.com, turns real course material into a game for teens, with short lessons, daily practice and a boss battle for every unit. It covers AP Business with Personal Finance, and all of Unit 1 is free.
Homework is up against the feed: 36% of US teens say they are on at least one major social app almost constantly (Pew Research Center, Dec. 2025). In China, the version of TikTok gives children under 14 a youth mode with a 40-minute daily cap and science, museums and history in the feed. Same kind of app, very different feed. Business Dojo fills that feed with the real AP course.
05 · Your tutor
Studied it. Worked in it. Now I teach it.
Chi Odogwu is a private finance tutor and a former PwC valuations consultant. He teaches corporate finance, personal finance, and AP Business one-on-one on Zoom, from high school through MBA, including midterm and final exam prep, at $250 an hour.
I earned a B.S. in Business with a finance specialization from Liberty University in three years, summa cum laude, then a Master’s in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis on a fellowship and a 75% academic scholarship. During grad school, I also tutored IB students.
At PwC, I consulted on valuations and private equity. The formulas from class were the tools I used every day.
I’ve spent more than seven years teaching and tutoring finance, including three years as an adjunct professor and a year teaching MBA finance at Florida State. I’ve seen where students get stuck from the front of a classroom, and I’ve used this material with real money on the line. That’s why I can usually spot what’s missing quickly.
Credentials only matter if I can explain it in a way that clicks for you. That’s the job.

07 · Questions
Before you book.
Do you do homework for students?
No. We work through problems together so you can do the next one yourself.
What if I don't know exactly what I'm stuck on?
That's common, and it's what the start of every session is for. Bring the material and we'll find it.
Can a parent book for a high school student?
Yes. Most AP sessions are booked by a parent. Send the course and what's giving your student trouble, and they join on Zoom.
How close to a midterm or final should I book?
Earlier is better, because finance concepts build on each other. A session the week before still helps if it goes after the right gaps. If your first midterm went worse than you expected, book before the next one, not after.
Do you work with students outside the US?
Yes. Everything happens on Zoom, so pick a time that works in your time zone.
