Das Laecheln, dass du aussendest kommt immer wieder zurueck. - The smile you are giving is always coming back to you. (indian proverbs) I believe whatever you do, do it with a smile or don't do it at all. Life is too short to be upset about it. If you are struggling on something work on it, don't waste your time in complaining about. Only the ones who work hard, succeed. It might take some sacrifices but it will be worth it in the end.
Hadal
College Accounting Tutor • +4 Subjects
I am a graduate of the Northcentral University. I received my PhD in Business Administration with a focus on Accounting. Before that, I received my BBA and MBA from the American University. Currently, I am studying for another PhD in Consumer Apparel and Retail Studies at UNC Greensboro. Since I have started teaching, I have worked in more than one country, tutoring undergraduate students who are studying for their Bachelor's degree. I also taught and tutored IGCSE Accounting for high school students. While I tutor a broad range of Accounting subjects, I am most passionate about managerial and financial accounting. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for their assessments, we always seem to have the most fun preparing for the analysis and the problem-solving portions of the exams. In teaching, my main goal is to get students to actively participate in classroom activities that help them to actively learn rather than just passively learn. I design my lessons around the application of critical thinking skills to foster deep learning, and the use of collaborative learning skills to facilitate "real-world" problem solving and learning through application. I also use activities in the instructional process that are designed to help students develop research and writing skills. In my spare time, I enjoy a lot of shopping and a little less of reading.

I enjoy helping students by explaining concepts in ways that make sense to them, by eliciting their feedback and tailoring my approach to their individual needs, and by conveying my enthusiasm for the learning process. It's great to see the light come on and to see their progress. I have an undergraduate degree in Politics from Princeton, a post-baccalaureate certificate in Quantitative Studies for Finance from Columbia, and an MBA from London Business School. I served as an officer in the Marine Corps and have worked in a number of academic and private-sector positions. I founded and am currently running an analytics-focused consulting practice.
Marc
Middle School Math Tutor • +9 Subjects
I firmly believe that the vast majority of students who believe they are "bad at math" have tragically internalized this identity without true justification. I have personally seen students of mine shed that persona and it is a special thing to witness.
Clark
Middle School Math Tutor • +14 Subjects
I have a PhD (Yale) in history and an MBA (UCLA) in finance. I have excellent writing and research skills, and have made extensive use of German and French -- spoken and for research. My work in finance has required skills with mathematics. I have taught university classes in finance and international economics. Another area of much interest, related to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law. I published a book on monetary history (*Gold, France, and the Great Depression*) , and a more recent book of essays on topics in economics and diplomatic history (http://books.ksplibrary.org/978-625-7501-75-0/ ) .... I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a student come away with some interest in and enthusiasm for the topic. (Soft evidence for the last is that my daughter earned a PhD in neuro-science, and credits me with inspiring her.)

I appreciate the opportunity to share what I've learned with others, to help them succeed. I am a retired civil service employee with extensive experience in defense planning and budget. My interests and hobbies include investments, and strategy games.
Angelo
Finance Tutor • +10 Subjects
I love helping students in topics related to math, to finance (public and private equity) and to engineering. I believe that if I can't explain concept, then I don't understand it. By that same token, if a student can't explain a concept back to me, then they don't understand it even if they say they do. I believe in getting to know all students, as their background is intricately connected with how they learn.

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.
