AEM 2241 is Dyson's core finance course. It covers the math of annuities, loans, bonds, and stocks, then moves into NPV, IRR, project analysis, and the security market line, with some financial modeling along the way.

Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Cornell Dyson
Where students get stuck.
Annuities and loans
Payment formulas are easy to mix up. We practice until you can set up any of them without thinking.
NPV versus IRR
When they disagree, which do you trust? It's a classic exam question and we make the answer obvious.
Security market line
The SML ties risk to expected return. We make sure you can use it on real problems.
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 we prep before AEM 2241?
Yes. A few sessions on time value of money first make the course much smoother.
Do you help Johnson MBA students?
Yes. Send me your syllabus and we'll start there.
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.
