The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
Corporate Finance
Core principles and practical tools for financial decisions and valuation, taught in the winter term.
Dartmouth
Where students get stuck.
Ten-week terms
Dartmouth's quarter system leaves no slack. One missed week in ECON 36 is a big share of the course.
Option pricing
It's the most mathematical topic in the course. We make the intuition solid before the formulas.
Asymmetric information
Signaling and adverse selection are easy to describe and hard to apply. We practice exam-style questions.
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 Tuck students with core Corporate Finance?
Yes. We review the material and work practice problems at the pace of the term.
Can we prep before ECON 36?
Yes. A few sessions before the term make ten weeks far more manageable.
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.
