It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for Columbia students.
Columbia Business School's core Corporate Finance is half lecture and half case discussion, and it goes deep on DCF and WACC. Undergrads in Financial Economics meet the same valuation ideas in ECON GU4280.

Enterprise DCF and multiples valuation, free cash flow, and weighted average cost of capital, taught through lectures and cases.
Columbia
Where students get stuck.
Free cash flow
Getting from the income statement to free cash flow is where most DCF mistakes start. We build it step by step until it's automatic.
WACC choices
Which beta, which weights, which rate. Every choice moves the answer, and cases expect you to defend each one.
Multiples that don't match
Comparing companies sounds simple until the comps don't line up. We work on choosing and adjusting them sensibly.
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 me before the Corporate Finance core starts?
Yes. A few sessions on discounting and financial statements make the valuation weeks much easier.
Do you help Financial Economics majors?
Yes. We can work on ECON GU4280, ECON UN3025, or whichever finance course you're taking.
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.
