Finance tutoring for Ole Miss students.
FINA 3000 Business Finance I, numbered FIN 331 until the catalog moved to four digits, covers financial analysis, investment decisions, cost of capital, and how companies raise money. Most upper-level finance courses at Ole Miss build straight on top of it.

Where students get stuck.
Financial analysis
Ratios only help if you know what they say about a company. We practice reading them as well as computing them.
Cost of capital
It connects the bond and stock chapters to capital budgeting. Once that link is clear, the course feels much smaller.
The math prerequisites
FINA 3000 leans on the math you took earlier. If some of it faded, we refresh exactly what the course needs.
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 FINA 3000 if I'm not a finance major?
Yes. Plenty of the students I work with aren't finance majors. If you're a general business major taking GBUS 3300 Essentials of Finance instead, I can help with that too.
How often should we meet?
Many students do one session a week through the term, plus extra sessions before midterms and finals.
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.
Get started
