Finance tutoring for Tennessee students.

FINC 301 is Haslam's financial management course for business majors: how a firm invests, finances itself, and manages its assets. Non-business students usually take FINC 300, a survey of the same basic ideas.

Tennessee

Where students get stuck.

Investment decisions

Choosing projects with NPV sounds simple. Estimating the cash flows is where the course gets hard.

Financing decisions

Debt, equity, and cost of capital tie the whole course together. We make that link clear early.

Asset management

Working capital questions mix accounting and finance. We practice until they feel routine.

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.

Do you help FINC 300 students too?

Yes. The core ideas are the same, and we go at your pace.

Can we meet weekly through the semester?

Yes. A weekly session keeps small gaps from turning into big ones before midterms.

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

Bring the problem you’re stuck on.

Tell me your course and what isn’t clicking. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.
