Time value of money and capital budgeting, risk and return, market efficiency, capital structure, and dividend policy.
It clicked in class. Until the midterm.
Finance tutoring for Wharton students.
FNCE 1000 is the foundation for every finance elective at Wharton, and it moves quickly. If one idea early in the semester didn't fully land, it follows you into every problem set after it.

FNCE 6110 · Corporate Finance

Where students get stuck.
Capital budgeting cash flows
Knowing the NPV rule is easy. Building the right cash flows, with taxes, depreciation, and working capital, is where points go.
Risk and return
Diversification, beta, and the CAPM arrive fast and feed straight into cost of capital. We make sure you can use them, not only define them.
Capital structure
Modigliani-Miller and the tax shield feel abstract until you work a few examples by hand. We do that until the logic is obvious.
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 me prepare for FNCE 1000 before the semester starts?
Yes. A few sessions on time value of money and basic valuation make the first weeks much easier.
Can you help with the FNCE 6110 waiver?
Yes. We review the core material and work practice problems so you walk in confident.
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.
