Where students get stuck.

Sources and uses

Tracking where money comes from and where it goes is the first skill. We practice it on small statements before the problems get large.

Present value

Present value runs through every later topic, and a weak start here hurts later. We drill it on the calculator.

Three decisions

Investment, financing, and dividends are named in the description as the firm's decisions. We practice telling them apart.

How a session works

Diagnosis first. Then the fix.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Questions

Before you book.

What are the prerequisites?

The registrar description lists ECO 201 and 202, ACC 201 and 202, MA 123, and STA 291 or equivalent. Confirm in your bulletin.

Is the dividend decision covered?

Yes, it's named in the course description along with the investment and financing decisions.

Can you help with budgeting?

Yes, budgeting is named in the description and we cover 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.
