Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
FINC 3810
The version of the course for students outside the business college.
Auburn
Where students get stuck.
The C to continue
A C or better is required to take FINC 3630. If you're close to the line, fix it before the final.
Valuation
Bonds and stocks are present value problems with extra steps. We make those steps automatic.
Capital budgeting
Building project cash flows correctly is most of the work, and most of the lost points.
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.
Do you help non-business majors in FINC 3810?
Yes. The core ideas are the same, and we move at whatever pace you need.
Can you help me prepare for FINC 3630?
Yes. We'll lock in FINC 3610 material first, since the next course assumes 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.
