12th Grade math Tutor • +78 Subjects

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Shane

ACT Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Accountancy. After graduation, I worked as an auditor for a Big Four accounting firm, primarily working with public clients. During that time, I took and passed all CPA exams. Currently, I work as an accounting supervisor for a Fortune 25 company in Atlanta, GA. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about accounting and math. While a grad student, I was a TA. All students that visited me in office hours received a higher score on their second exam than on their first exam. I have always said accounting is like a foreign language, and once you have a solid foundation, you can apply it everywhere. I have a passion for teaching, and I look forward to bringing my energic and positive energy to all my sessions.

Natalie

Middle School Math Tutor • +37 Subjects

I know firsthand how much effort it takes to succeed. I earned a 1520 SAT, 33 ACT, and a 4.0 GPA before graduating with a Bachelor's in Finance and a minor in Political Science from BYU. With over two years of tutoring experience, I've helped students of all ages, from elementary kids learning to read, to high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to college students mastering finance. My approach is simple: I build trust with each student, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and create a plan that builds both skill and confidence. I've tutored in math, reading, finance, physics, and standardized testing, always with the goal of making learning less intimidating and more empowering. I love seeing the moment when students not only "get it" but start to believe in themselves- that's when tutoring makes the biggest difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students typically find the most difficulty with balance sheet construction and the fundamental accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity), especially when transactions affect multiple accounts simultaneously. Journal entries and the debit/credit system also present challenges because they require understanding the logic behind why certain accounts increase or decrease, rather than just memorizing rules. Additionally, many students struggle with reconciling theoretical GAAP principles to real-world financial statements, and connecting individual transactions to their impact on all three financial statements.

Expert tutors focus on building conceptual understanding by working backward from financial statements—showing students why a specific journal entry is needed rather than just how to record it. They use real company examples (like analyzing Apple's or Nike's actual balance sheets) to demonstrate how accounting principles apply in practice, and they emphasize the interconnected nature of accounts so students see that every transaction tells a story. This approach helps students develop the analytical skills needed for higher-level courses and professional certifications like the CPA exam, where understanding the 'why' is essential.

Introductory accounting focuses on mastering the fundamentals—the accounting cycle, basic journal entries, and reading financial statements. Intermediate accounting dives deeper into valuation methods, complex transactions (like consolidations and investments), and deeper GAAP applications, requiring stronger analytical skills. Advanced courses or CPA exam prep involve specialized topics like tax accounting, auditing standards, and detailed financial analysis. Tutors tailor their approach based on the level, moving from foundational concept-building to problem-solving strategies and exam-specific techniques.

Students often memorize ratio formulas without understanding what they actually reveal about a company's financial health—for example, knowing that a high current ratio suggests liquidity but not recognizing when it might signal inefficient asset management. Tutors help by teaching ratio analysis as a storytelling tool: they guide students through calculating ratios from real financial statements, interpreting the results, and comparing across companies and time periods to draw meaningful conclusions. This approach transforms ratios from abstract calculations into practical tools for investment analysis and business decision-making.

CPA exam success requires mastery of not just accounting principles but also auditing standards, tax regulations, and business law—areas where tutors provide targeted preparation by identifying knowledge gaps and reinforcing weak areas before they become problems on the exam. Tutors help students develop efficient study strategies, practice with exam-style questions under time pressure, and build the analytical reasoning skills needed to tackle complex, multi-part scenarios. Additionally, tutors can help students understand how college-level accounting courses connect to professional practice, giving them context for why certain concepts matter in the real world.

Tutors bridge theory and practice by using case studies and real financial data—analyzing why a company chose one accounting method over another, how different depreciation methods affect reported income, or how working capital management impacts cash flow. They help students understand opportunity cost in accounting contexts (like the cost of inventory holding), time value of money in investment decisions, and how financial ratios inform lending and investment choices. This practical grounding helps students see accounting not as a set of rules to memorize, but as a language for understanding and evaluating business performance.

Beyond deep knowledge of GAAP principles and accounting standards, strong tutors possess the ability to explain complex transactions in simple terms and to identify exactly where a student's understanding breaks down. They should be comfortable with financial analysis tools, able to work with real financial statements, and skilled at translating accounting concepts into business context so students understand practical applications. Equally important is the ability to build problem-solving strategies—teaching students how to approach unfamiliar scenarios rather than just solving textbook problems, which is critical for success in advanced courses and professional exams.

Common mistakes include reversing debits and credits, failing to recognize when transactions affect multiple financial statements simultaneously, misunderstanding the purpose of contra-accounts, and confusing cash-basis with accrual accounting. Students also often struggle with the timing of revenue and expense recognition under GAAP, which directly impacts reported income. Tutors address these errors by having students work through the logic of each transaction step-by-step, using T-accounts or other visual tools to track account changes, and practicing with varied scenarios until the underlying principles become intuitive rather than memorized.
