MFIN 1021 · Fundamentals of Finance
The foundation: financial markets and institutions, time value of money, valuation, and the role of the financial manager.
It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for Boston College students.
MFIN 1021 Fundamentals of Finance, formerly Basic Finance, is the Carroll School's first finance course and the prerequisite for everything after it, including MFIN 1127 Corporate Finance. BC also requires it before any finance elective taken abroad.

MFIN 1127 · Corporate Finance
The next step after MFIN 1021, going deeper into how companies invest and finance themselves.
Boston College
Where students get stuck.
Accounting at the same time
Many students take Financial Accounting alongside MFIN 1021. We connect the two so each makes the other easier.
Before going abroad
BC wants MFIN 1021 done before study abroad. We help you finish it strong on schedule.
Valuation basics
Bonds and stocks come first. Get them right and Corporate Finance is much easier.
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 with MFIN 1127 too?
Yes. Corporate Finance builds directly on MFIN 1021, and I teach both.
Do you help finance minors?
Yes. The minor starts with the same core courses.
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.
