Each school teaches business and finance differently. We start from your student's own class.
Texas · River Oaks, Houston
Private finance tutoring for families in River Oaks, West University, and Memorial.
Houston runs on energy, medicine, and finance, and students here hear about all three at home. Texas students who start ninth grade in 2026 to 2027 or later need a half-credit personal financial literacy course to graduate, and Houston's independent schools teach their own courses.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Texas's personal financial literacy course
A half-credit personal financial literacy course is required for public high school students who enter ninth grade in 2026 to 2027 or later.
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 Rice, UT Austin, and colleges across the country 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.
River Oaks, Houston · Texas
Where students get stuck.
Big-picture, small details
Students can talk about oil prices and markets and still miss the formula on the test. We connect the two.
Capital budgeting
How a company decides whether a project is worth it is the heart of corporate finance. We build it step by step.
Busy weeks
Sessions run evenings and weekends in Central time, around sports and activities.
For parents
Parents usually book, and your student joins on Zoom from River Oaks, West University, Memorial, Bellaire, or anywhere in Houston. 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.
Can you help a student preparing for a business major?
Yes. Corporate finance and valuation before college make the first business courses much easier.
Do you work with Catholic and Episcopal schools?
Yes. I work from your student's own syllabus, whatever the school.
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.
