Finance and business tutoring for families in Bahrain.
Bahrain's top international schools mostly run the IB Diploma, and IB Business Management and IB Economics are popular choices. Both ask students to use numbers under exam pressure, and I work from your student's own class.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
IB Business Management and IB Economics
SL and HL. Finance and accounts, Paper 2 numbers, and the research project in Business Management. Diagrams, data response, and the HL policy paper in Economics.
AP® Business with Personal Finance
The newest AP course, with the first exam in May 2027. If your student's school adds it, I've already mapped all 5 units and 31 topics and built 940 practice questions.
Corporate finance, before or during university
Many students here leave for universities in the US, the UK, and Canada. Corporate finance and financial statements before the first year make business and economics degrees much easier. It's the same material I teach college and MBA students.

Where students get stuck.
The research project
The Business Management IA is a research project worth 30% at SL and 20% at HL. I explain the finance in it. The writing stays the student's.
Diagrams that earn marks
IB Economics answers need the right diagram, labeled and explained. We practice until it's automatic.
Exam season
IB exams land in May. A few focused sessions in the spring help most when they target the right gaps.
For parents
Parents usually book. Your student joins on Zoom from Manama, Saar, Riffa, or anywhere in Bahrain. Sessions are scheduled in Arabia Standard Time, after school on weekdays or on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Send me the course and what's giving your student trouble, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.
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.
Your tutor
Studied it. Worked in it. Now I teach it.
I’m Chi Odogwu. I have a B.S. in Business with a finance specialization from Liberty University, earned summa cum laude in three years, and a Master’s in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis. I tutored IB students in grad school, did valuation and private equity consulting at PwC, taught MBA finance at Florida State, and spent three years as an adjunct professor teaching Business Finance.
Questions
Before you book.
What time zone are sessions in?
Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3). Sessions run on weekday evenings after school, plus Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you work with students in the British curriculum?
I focus on IB, AP, and university finance. If your student takes A-level Business or Economics, send me the syllabus and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
What does a session cost in local currency?
Sessions are $250 an hour, billed in US dollars. At the fixed exchange rates that's about AED 918, SAR 938, or QAR 910.
Will tutoring get in the way of my student's teacher?
No. I work from the teacher's materials and never complete graded work, so sessions support the class instead of replacing it.
Is tutoring allowed under my school's honor code?
Tutoring on concepts and practice problems is generally fine, but policies on graded work vary by course. I don't complete graded assignments. Check your syllabus's collaboration policy, and if you're unsure, ask your professor.
