Finance tutoring for Vanderbilt students.
Vanderbilt doesn't have an undergraduate business major, so most undergrads meet finance through the business minor's Principles of Finance or through Financial Economics courses. At Owen, Managerial Finance is part of the MBA core.

Where students get stuck.
Coming from outside business
Without a business major, many students meet accounting and finance for the first time in the same year. We fill in what the course assumes.
Company valuation
Valuing a whole company pulls together every earlier chapter. It's where gaps from the start of the course show up.
Market efficiency
It's a short topic with a lot of subtle exam questions. We work through the logic until it makes sense.
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 with Vanderbilt's corporate finance and investments courses?
Yes. Send me the syllabus for the course you're in and we'll start there.
Do you help Owen MBA students?
Yes. We can work on Managerial Finance or finance electives.
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.
