Asher
Trigonometry Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Penn State (May 2020) with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, and I am on a CPA track as far as having earned all 150 credits in four years of school and having had two internships. My current occupation interestingly has nothing to do with accounting, although I have been able to apply certain math and accounting-based concepts to my work over the years; I am an accredited media member for IndyCar and NASCAR and I am the head IndyCar, NASCAR and Formula 1 writer and editor for a motorsports website called Beyond the Flag, where I produce roughly 130-140 articles per month. I chose to become a tutor in Math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Accounting) because I believe that my success in math-related subjects from my grade school days through my college career can be used to help others achieve their goals, and I enjoy watching students as they grasp concepts with which they previously struggled; I enjoy seeing those concepts "click". Additionally, I have seen hard work pay off from my leadership role at Beyond the Flag, having worked closely with my contributors to achieve an audience growth of over 500% since I started in February 2017, so I believe that I can make a positive difference to help those around me.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many accounting students struggle with understanding the fundamental concept that debits and credits represent different sides of the accounting equation, not simply "positive" and "negative." Other common obstacles include grasping why transactions must be recorded in specific ways, managing the complexity of multi-step accounting cycles (from journal entries through financial statements), and applying concepts to real-world scenarios rather than just memorizing procedures.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective here because tutors can identify exactly where understanding breaks down—whether it's conceptual gaps, procedural mistakes, or difficulty connecting theory to practice—and adjust their teaching approach accordingly.
In a classroom, teachers typically move through material at a set pace designed for the average student, which means some students miss foundational concepts while others feel held back. Personalized tutoring allows you to learn at your own speed, revisit challenging topics like account reconciliation or financial statement analysis without feeling rushed, and skip material you've already mastered.
Additionally, tutors can focus on your specific learning style—whether you learn best through worked examples, visual diagrams of the accounting cycle, or hands-on practice with actual transactions. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement and greater confidence in applying accounting principles.
Accounting tutoring builds both foundational and advanced competencies depending on your level. Foundational skills include understanding the accounting equation, recording journal entries, creating trial balances, and preparing basic financial statements. Intermediate students develop skills in accounts reconciliation, depreciation calculations, and adjusting entries, while advanced learners focus on consolidations, variance analysis, and sophisticated financial reporting.
Beyond technical skills, quality tutoring also develops critical thinking—the ability to analyze transactions and determine the correct accounting treatment, which is essential for success in more advanced courses and professional certifications like the CPA exam.
The best accounting tutors combine deep subject expertise with strong teaching ability. Look for tutors with accounting credentials (CPA, CMA, or similar), real-world experience in accounting roles, and proven success teaching the specific level you need—whether that's high school accounting, college-level financial or managerial accounting, or CPA exam preparation.
Equally important is their ability to explain complex concepts clearly, diagnose where your understanding breaks down, and adapt their teaching style to match how you learn best. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and can work with you in a way that makes accounting concepts click.
Accounting curricula vary depending on level. High school accounting typically covers the accounting cycle, financial statements, and basic business math. College-level Financial Accounting emphasizes the accounting equation, GAAP principles, and analyzing financial statements, while Managerial Accounting focuses on cost analysis, budgeting, and decision-making. Advanced courses cover consolidations, international accounting, and auditing.
Quality tutors understand these distinctions and tailor their instruction accordingly. Whether you're in an introductory high school course, a college survey class, or preparing for the CPA exam, personalized instruction ensures you master exactly what your curriculum requires while building the conceptual foundation needed for future accounting success.
Improvement timelines vary based on your starting point and goals, but most students see meaningful progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. If you're struggling with foundational concepts like the accounting equation or journal entries, focused tutoring can clarify these misconceptions relatively quickly. More complex topics like financial analysis or preparing consolidated financial statements typically require longer to master.
The key factor is consistency—regular tutoring sessions (typically 1-2 per week) combined with practice between sessions produces faster, more durable improvement than sporadic help. Many students report increased confidence and better grades within the first month, with continued skill development as they tackle more advanced material.
Yes. Tutors can prepare you for high school and college accounting exams by helping you master course content, practice problem-solving under timed conditions, and review frequently tested concepts. For professional certifications like the CPA exam, tutors with CPA credentials and exam preparation experience can guide you through the exam's format, teach high-yield topics, help you develop test-taking strategies, and provide targeted practice on difficult sections.
Personalized preparation is especially valuable for certification exams because tutors can identify your weak areas, focus intensive practice there, and help you manage the exam's scope—which is crucial given the CPA exam's breadth and complexity.
