Private finance tutoring for families in Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Boca Raton.
Florida requires a half credit in personal financial literacy for students who entered ninth grade in 2023 to 2024 or later. For many families who've moved here, it's the first time their student has had a required finance class at all.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
The Benjamin School, Saint Andrew's, The King's Academy, Palm Beach Day, Oxbridge
Independent schools here set their own business and finance courses. We work from your student's own class.
AP® Business with Personal Finance
The newest AP course, with the first exam in May 2027. I've mapped all 5 units and 31 topics and built 940 practice questions.
Corporate finance over break
Students home from college often bring their hardest class with them. Winter break and summer are the best time to fix corporate finance before the next exam, and I teach it at the level their course expects.
Palm Beach · Florida
Where students get stuck.
New school, new course
Students who moved from another state often land in a finance course that assumes things they were never taught. We fill in the gap quickly.
Taxes and insurance
Florida's course covers taxes, insurance, and contracts, topics most teenagers have never touched. We make them practical.
Investing
Saving and investing come up in the course and at home. We teach risk and return with real numbers.
For parents
Parents usually book, and your student joins on Zoom from Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, or anywhere in South Florida, including families here for the season. 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.
We split the year between Florida and the Northeast. Does that matter?
No. Sessions are on Zoom, so they continue wherever your student is.
Does the Florida credit apply to private schools?
The requirement covers public high schools. Private schools choose their own courses, and I can help with those too.
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.
