Each school covers finance in its own way, through economics, business electives, or the new state instruction. We start from the class your student is actually in.
New York · Westchester
Private finance tutoring for families in Westchester.
Westchester's public high schools are some of the most competitive in the state, and its day schools set their own courses. With New York's personal finance instruction starting for ninth graders in 2026 to 2027, what students actually learn still varies a lot from school to school.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
The new personal finance requirement
Required instruction starts in 2026 to 2027 for grades 5 to 12. It isn't a separate credit, so depth depends on the district.
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.
Westchester · New York
Where students get stuck.
Competitive grading
In a school where everyone is strong, one shaky unit shows up fast in a GPA. We fix the gap before the test, not after.
Business electives
Many students take a business or economics elective as a junior or senior. The finance in it is often harder than the course title suggests.
Interest and credit math
Compound interest and loan payments look easy until a problem stacks them together. We practice until the setup is automatic.
For parents
Parents usually book, and your student joins on Zoom from Scarsdale, Rye, Bronxville, Chappaqua, or anywhere in the county. 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.
My student is in a business elective, not AP. Can you help?
Yes. I work from whatever course your student is taking, including school-designed business and economics electives.
Can sessions fit around sports?
Yes. Most families book evenings or weekends in Eastern time, and we move sessions around game days.
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.
