Award-Winning Accounting Tutors
serving San Diego, CA

I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.

I am originally from Augusta, Georgia and did my undergraduate studies at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. I waited tables through college there and majored in accounting. I am currently a graduate student at the Leventhal school of accounting at USC. I enjoy guitar, reading, and fitness.

Patrick is finishing his accounting degree at the University of Pittsburgh, which means he's knee-deep in the same textbooks and problem sets his students are working through — from financial accounting through intermediate and cost accounting. That real-time familiarity with the material lets him pinpoint exactly where concepts like multi-step income statements or adjusting entries tend to break down and explain them in plain terms. Rated 4.7 by students.

Debits, credits, and the accounting equation make intuitive sense once a student sees them as a story about where money comes from and where it goes. Amos teaches the logic behind journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement preparation so that each transaction follows naturally from the last. His MBA with a finance concentration grounds every lesson in how accounting data actually gets used in business decisions.

Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes every journal entry and T-account feel intuitive rather than arbitrary. Matt studied finance at the university level and applies that background to teach accounting as a coherent framework — from the balance sheet equation through adjusting entries and financial statement preparation.

Most people treat accounting as a set of rules to follow, but Clark's MBA in Accounting and Financial Management taught him it's really the language every business decision gets filtered through. He digs into topics like accrual vs. cash-basis reporting, closing entries, and variance analysis by tying each concept back to the managerial choices it informs — so the ledger work feels like storytelling, not busywork.

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.

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."

Noah's business economics degree required coursework across financial accounting, managerial accounting, and cost accounting — giving him a breadth that lets him match explanations to whichever course a student is actually taking. He connects accounting concepts to the broader economic decisions businesses face, like how cost behavior shapes pricing or how variance analysis informs budgeting. That business-side perspective makes the numbers feel purposeful instead of abstract.

Holding a diploma in accounting on top of his economics degree, Stuart brings both the theoretical framework and the practical detail that financial and managerial accounting courses demand. He digs into journal entries, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, making sure students understand why debits and credits balance — not just that they do.

Studying finance and statistics at NYU means Eric encounters accounting principles from the other side — as the language businesses use to communicate financial health. That perspective lets him teach concepts like the accounting equation, income statements, and balance sheets by showing what the numbers mean in practice, not just how to record them. Rated 5.0 by students.

As an adjunct finance professor who also teaches intermediate and cost accounting, Andrew sees the full picture of how debits, credits, and financial statements connect to real business decisions. He digs into journal entries, T-accounts, and adjusting entries with enough patience to make the logic click, not just the procedures.

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.

An MBA in International Business from Thunderbird gave Spencer hands-on exposure to financial reporting, cost analysis, and the accounting frameworks that underpin global business decisions. He translates that cross-disciplinary perspective into clear explanations of the accounting cycle — walking through how each transaction flows from journal entry to financial statement so the process makes sense as a connected system.
