Award-Winning Accounting Tutors
serving Santa Ana, 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.

Debits and credits confuse almost everyone at first because the logic feels backward until the balance sheet clicks as a complete system. Shih, a finance major and state-certified teacher from UGA, unpacks the accounting equation by building each journal entry from the transaction's economic reality — making adjusting entries, depreciation schedules, and financial statement preparation far more intuitive.

Debits, credits, and the accounting equation can feel like arbitrary rules until someone explains the logic underneath. Nadine breaks down journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement preparation by connecting each step back to what the numbers actually represent about a business's health. Her economics background gives her a big-picture perspective that makes topics like depreciation methods and adjusting entries easier to internalize.

Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes everything from journal entries to financial statement preparation feel systematic rather than arbitrary. Hari teaches across financial, managerial, and cost accounting, and his finance MBA means he connects each ledger entry to the bigger picture of how businesses actually use accounting data to make decisions.

Debits and credits stop being confusing once someone walks you through the logic behind the accounting equation rather than just drilling journal entries. George's B.S. in Business Administration from UNC Chapel Hill gave him deep exposure to financial statements, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, and he explains adjusting entries and closing processes in plain language that clicks.

Finance majors at Ohio State work through financial statements from the investor's side — analyzing balance sheets and income statements to evaluate companies — which gives Christopher a clear sense of what accounting data needs to communicate and why accuracy matters at every step. He teaches the basics of the accounting cycle, from recording transactions to preparing trial balances, by grounding each entry in the financial story it's building.

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.

Jonathan is a CPA and CFA Level III candidate who has lived the full arc of accounting — from introductory journal entries through complex consolidations and SEC reporting standards. He breaks down topics like accrual adjustments, depreciation methods, and statement analysis by connecting each entry to its real-world business impact. Rated 4.9 by students.

Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes the rest of accounting fall into place — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, even full financial statement preparation. Erik's business training at BYU included accounting coursework, and he approaches the subject by anchoring every transaction to the accounting equation so students always know why the numbers balance.

Interning at two major accounting firms — CLA and Forvis — gave Aubriana hands-on experience with audit procedures and tax preparation that most tutors can only reference from a textbook. She breaks down journal entries, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle by connecting each concept to how real firms actually use them. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

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.

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.
