Andrew
BA University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
9+ Years Tutoring

A linguistics background might seem unrelated to accounting, but Andrew's training in rule-based systems and structural analysis maps surprisingly well onto double-entry bookkeeping — both disciplines demand precise, internally consistent logic. He breaks down the accounting equation and basic transaction recording by treating each entry as a piece of a larger grammatical structure, where every debit and credit must balance the way a sentence must parse.

Hans
BA Northwestern University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. While there, I majored in Economics and minored in International Studies with a focus in International Political Economy and Development. Beyond these classes, I also had a healthy, eclectic interest in a wide range of subject areas including Multivariable Calculus, Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests.
