MBA core finance, at MBA speed.
MBA finance moves fast. The core course often covers in a few weeks what an undergrad class covers in a semester, and it assumes you remember the math. I taught MBA finance at Florida State and did valuation work at PwC, so we can go from the formula to the case discussion in one session.

Where students get stuck.
Coming from a non-finance background
Classmates from banking make it look easy. If you came from marketing, engineering, or the military, a few focused sessions close that gap quickly.
Cases with no single answer
Case questions reward a clear valuation argument. We work on how to set one up and defend your assumptions in class.
The pace
Miss one week in a half-semester core and you're behind. Sessions can target exactly what you missed without redoing everything.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Before you book.
Can you help me prepare before the MBA starts?
Yes. A few sessions on time value of money, discounting, and financial statements before orientation makes the core much easier.
Can you help me prepare for a finance waiver exam?
Yes. We review the tested material and work practice problems until you're confident.
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.
Bring the problem you’re stuck on.
Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
