Logan's physics degree required rigorous quantitative problem-solving — tracking units, balancing equations, and maintaining systematic precision — skills that transfer directly to working through the accounting cycle. He approaches journal entries and financial statement preparation as logical puzzles, breaking each transaction into its component parts so the mechanics of double-entry bookkeeping feel structured rather than arbitrary.

Most of Emina's teaching load sits in math, writing, and SAT prep — but her state teaching certification and business coursework mean she can break down the accounting cycle with the structured, step-by-step clarity of someone trained to teach systematically. She connects each ledger entry and financial statement line item back to the quantitative reasoning her students already use in algebra and statistics, which makes the logic of double-entry bookkeeping feel less foreign.
From introductory journal entries to complex topics like depreciation methods and bank reconciliations, Jonathan covers the full spectrum of accounting fundamentals. He scored above 90 on every section of the CPA exam (FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) and spent time as a graduate TA breaking down the same concepts he now teaches one-on-one.
Decades as a CFO — in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations — means Bill has lived accounting rather than just studied it. He breaks down debits and credits, journal entries, and the full accounting cycle by connecting textbook rules to how real companies actually track and report their finances. He's currently finishing CPA certification requirements himself, so the material is fresh.
I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorite subject by far is math, specifically calculus. Math is a subject almost universally hated, and I believe that is mainly due to the narrow way in which it is taught. I have ADHD, and I often don't understand things the first time they are explained to me, meaning over the years I have had to figure out different ways of looking at information. Oftentimes, all a student needs is for something to be explained in a different way, and I love watching people finally understand a concept. Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn.
Jake teaches accounting across multiple levels — from introductory debits and credits through corporate accounting, tax accounting, and intermediate topics like bond amortization and lease classifications. His engineering background means he approaches journal entries and financial statements with the same precision he'd apply to circuit analysis. Rated 5.0 by students, he's especially effective at breaking down the logic behind accrual-basis adjustments.
Currently pursuing a Master of Professional Accountancy at UT and a CPA license, Emily is working through advanced accounting material in real time — which sharpens how she teaches everything from introductory journal entries to intermediate topics like depreciation methods and accrual adjustments. Her undergraduate accounting degree and part-time tutoring experience mean she's already spent years translating tricky ledger mechanics into language that actually sticks.
Debits, credits, and the accounting equation seem mechanical until students hit adjusting entries or multi-step income statements and realize they need to understand *why* the rules work. David approaches accounting through the logic behind each transaction, drawing on his economics and business background at Clemson to tie journal entries to the bigger financial picture.
Debits, credits, and journal entries only make sense once you understand the logic behind the accounting equation — and that's where Tanner starts. His business degree from TCU included rigorous accounting coursework, and he walks through everything from T-accounts and adjusting entries to financial statement preparation with a focus on why each step matters to the bigger picture.
Trained in accounting at the McCombs School of Business, Mahan tackles everything from journal entries and T-accounts to the full accounting cycle with an emphasis on understanding the logic behind debits and credits. Once students grasp why assets and expenses behave differently from liabilities and revenue, the mechanics of financial statements stop feeling arbitrary.
Debits and credits click once someone sees them as a logical system rather than arbitrary rules to memorize. Maftuna earned her BBA in Finance and tackles accounting from the ground up — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, and financial statement preparation — explaining the why behind each step so the mechanics actually stick.
I am a avid sports fans: Go Cowboys!
I am a huge component of constant feedback. A session may be wasted if feedback is only provided in the last five minutes. For this reason, I would help students stay motivated by maintaining a conversation over the material and relating to other interesting aspects of their life.
Hi y'all! I hold my Master of Science in Psychology of Sport and my Bachelor of Science in both Psychology and Applied Human and Sport Physiology. I have many years of tutoring under my belt, working with people of all levels from elementary school through college in hard science subjects (Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics), a few social sciences (History, Psychology, Economics), and language arts. When not tutoring, I love playing soccer and I even coach a youth team. I love encouraging students to learn, grow, and think critically for themselves.
I am a Junior Accounting student at SMU motivated to help younger students reach their academic and testing potential, especially when taking the PSAT, SAT and ACT. I want to help students achieve their goals through engaging tutoring sessions tailored to the needs of each individual, and I want to give students the tools they need to succeed on their own outside of a classroom setting.
I am a rising sophomore at Rice University. I am currently pursuing a degree in Economics and Managerial studies, with a passion for Economics and Spanish. I have helped students with their academic questions in high school and look forward to answering your questions.
About With over three years of experience as a Financial Accountant at FXSpotStream LLC, contributed to enhancing financial processes and accuracy through expertise in FX derivatives, general ledger reconciliations, and analytics. Previous experience as a private tutor honed problem-solving and communication skills.
I am an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Dallas pursuing a double major in Finance and Economics with a focus in medicine. My tutoring experience includes working with my nieces, nephews, cousins, and peers ranging from elementary to high school. I mainly tutor subjects involving math or science since those are my strengths. I also tutor a few business related courses that I have taken.
Irene treats accounting as applied math — because that's exactly what it is. Her PhD in mathematics gives her a precise way of explaining debits and credits, journal entries, and the logic behind the accounting equation that clicks for students who need more than "just follow the rules."
Few tutors can teach accounting from both the academic and professional side the way Stephen can. A Notre Dame accounting graduate who spent over twenty years at PwC — including seven-plus as a partner — he walks students through debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement analysis with the authority of someone who's prepared and reviewed these documents for Fortune-level clients.
As a finance student at the University of Connecticut, Austin works with accounting concepts from the user's side — he's learning how financial statements inform investment analysis, lending decisions, and corporate strategy. That vantage point shapes how he teaches the nuts and bolts of debits, credits, and the accounting cycle, grounding each entry in the business logic it ultimately serves.
Jack's economics degree from Northwestern means he understands how financial data drives business decisions — accounting is the system that produces that data. He teaches the mechanics of the accounting cycle by anchoring each journal entry and ledger posting to the economic reality it represents, so the process feels purposeful rather than procedural. Rated 5.0 by students.
Two master's degrees in accountancy — one with a taxation concentration from Notre Dame — give Steven a depth in this subject that few tutors can match. He digs into journal entries, financial statement preparation, and the logic behind GAAP principles so that students understand the "why" driving each debit and credit. Rated 4.8 by students.
Maria's Applied Mathematics and Business Economics degree at UCLA means she approaches accounting problems the way they're designed to be solved — quantitatively, with the math driving the logic of each ledger entry. She tackles topics like cost behavior, break-even analysis, and managerial accounting by tying the numbers back to the economic decisions businesses actually face.
Debits, credits, and journal entries click faster when the underlying logic is clear — Professor Florence teaches accounting by connecting each transaction to the financial statements it ultimately affects. Her MBA from USC and years teaching at multiple universities mean she can bridge the gap between textbook exercises and how real businesses track their money.
Tony holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting, which means he can dig into topics like adjusting entries, depreciation methods, and financial statement analysis with real depth. He breaks down the logic behind debits and credits so the accounting equation stops feeling like arbitrary rules and starts making intuitive sense.
Sami's economics degree from Duke and real-world experience at both a management consulting firm and a Fortune 500 company mean he understands how accounting concepts like accrual methods, journal entries, and financial statement analysis play out beyond the textbook. Now pursuing his MBA at Yale, he connects debits and credits to the bigger strategic picture that makes the material click.
Lulu spent an entire career in accounting after completing her master's in the field at UT Arlington, so she teaches debits, credits, journal entries, and financial statements from real-world experience rather than textbook theory alone. Whether the challenge is managerial accounting, cost allocation, or preparing for an intermediate exam, she connects each concept back to how businesses actually use the numbers.
Jenna's finance curriculum at Villanova included a deep dive into financial accounting — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, and building statements from the trial balance up. She walks through the logic of double-entry bookkeeping so that debits and credits stop feeling like arbitrary rules and start making intuitive sense.
Currently in his second semester at UGA's Tull School of Accounting and planning to pursue a Master of Accountancy, Ian is deep in the material that introductory accounting students are just encountering. He tackles the concepts that tend to confuse beginners — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, and the logic behind debits and credits — with the perspective of someone who recently learned to think like an accountant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with understanding the fundamental concepts behind debits and credits, journal entries, and the accounting equation—not just memorizing procedures. Others find it difficult to connect abstract concepts like accruals and deferrals to real-world business scenarios. Additionally, students often fall behind when they don't grasp foundational skills early, since accounting builds progressively. Personalized instruction helps identify exactly where understanding breaks down and fills those gaps before moving forward.
During an initial session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of accounting fundamentals, identify specific areas of difficulty, and learn about your learning goals—whether you're preparing for the CPA exam, improving grades, or mastering a particular accounting course. They'll discuss your preferred learning style and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session builds on a clear understanding of where you stand.
In a classroom with Houston's average student-teacher ratio, teachers must pace instruction for the entire class, which means some students move too quickly and others fall behind.
