FI 302 · Business Finance
The financial objectives of a business, sources of capital, and managing assets, with a framework for financing, investing, and dividend decisions.
It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for Alabama students.
FI 302 is Culverhouse's business finance course, and students get a limited number of attempts at it. That's a good reason to fix a weak spot early instead of hoping the next exam goes better.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Alabama
Where students get stuck.
Limited attempts
Students are limited to three attempts, not counting withdrawals. If the first midterm went badly, get help before it becomes a pattern.
Sources of capital
Debt, equity, and the cost of each feel abstract until you work real numbers. We do that until they don't.
Investing decisions
NPV and IRR show up on every exam. We make sure you can build the cash flows, not only plug them in.
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.
I failed FI 302 once. Can you help?
Yes. We'll go back to where it stopped making sense and rebuild from there, so the next attempt feels different.
Do you help with later finance courses at Alabama?
Yes. Send me the syllabus and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
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.
