The economics behind how firms invest and finance themselves, capital structure choices, and how theory applies to real problems.
It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for UNC Kenan-Flagler students.
BUSI 408 is UNC's introduction to corporate finance, and it gates the consulting and real estate tracks with a minimum grade of C. It's the course students most want to get right the first time.

Where students get stuck.
Capital structure
How financing choices change a firm's value is the heart of BUSI 408. We work through it until the logic is obvious.
Theory versus reality
The course asks where models work and where they don't. We practice explaining both sides clearly.
Grade gates
A C or better keeps the consulting and real estate tracks open. We make sure you're well clear of the line.
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.

Questions
Before you book.
Can we start before BUSI 408 begins?
Yes. A few sessions on present value and valuation give you a real head start.
Do you help with finance electives after BUSI 408?
Yes. Send me the syllabus and we'll start from 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.
