It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for WashU Olin students.
FIN 340 covers a lot of ground fast: time value of money, bonds and stocks, risk and return, cost of capital, and capital budgeting. It's the course the rest of Olin's finance curriculum builds on.

The courses
What we work on.
Bring your slides, problem sets, and your last midterm. We work from your actual course.
WashU Olin
Where students get stuck.
Diversification and leverage
How both change portfolio risk is easy to state and hard to calculate. We practice until it's routine.
Cost of capital
WACC pulls together bonds, stocks, and taxes in one number. We build it piece by piece.
Market efficiency
Short topic, 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.
Can we prep before FIN 340 starts?
Yes. Time value of money first makes the rest of the course much easier.
Do you help Olin MBA or specialized masters students?
Yes. Send me your syllabus and we'll start 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.
