Diana
AP Statistics Tutor • +41 Subjects
I received my MBA graduate degree from Georgetown University and my Electrical Engineering Bachelors degree from San Diego State University. I worked for Sony Electronics for over a decade as a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, leading hardware designs of newly introduced features of Sony's High-Definition televisions. I have also managed a privately-owned business. I have always been passionate about tutoring. For example, I tutored math, calculus and physics in college, and I volunteered in educating seniors in computer skills. I especially enjoy tutoring students who are interested in learning the subject themselves. Whether they are good at it is irrelevant as I will work very hard to ensure they have the right foundation to be confident and enthusiastic about the topic at hand. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, biking and playing the piano. I also enjoy meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Middle School Math Tutor • +37 Subjects
I know firsthand how much effort it takes to succeed. I earned a 1520 SAT, 33 ACT, and a 4.0 GPA before graduating with a Bachelor's in Finance and a minor in Political Science from BYU. With over two years of tutoring experience, I've helped students of all ages, from elementary kids learning to read, to high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to college students mastering finance. My approach is simple: I build trust with each student, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and create a plan that builds both skill and confidence. I've tutored in math, reading, finance, physics, and standardized testing, always with the goal of making learning less intimidating and more empowering. I love seeing the moment when students not only "get it" but start to believe in themselves- that's when tutoring makes the biggest difference.

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.
Mary
Linear Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
I graduated from Tufts University with a double major in Mathematics and Psychology. Subsequently I earned Masters degrees in Education ( Stanford), Accounting/MBA ( Northeastern) and Finance ( George Washington). I earned my Credential to teach Mathematics and Psychology in California, and taught high school in San Jose. I also taught Math at Tabor Academy and at Avery Coonley School. I left teaching full time and now work for the US Government working on accounting and Finance Systems. I am an expert skier and teach skiing during the winter months. I missed teaching so I currently tutor students in all levels of Math and love it! The joy of helping individual students understand a concept and succeed, where they thought they couldn't, is what keeps me tutoring! I enjoy working with all levels of students, working to understand what is/are the concept(s) keeping each one from reaching their potential. Even though I am a self proscribed math geek, I don't expect my students to love math as much as I do, but I try to impart my enthusiasm and love for math. Let's try and enjoy Math together.
Angelo
11th Grade Calculus Tutor • +44 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.

Learning is most effective when it's engaging, personalized, and built on confidence. As a tutor, I focus on making complex concepts more approachable and helping students develop problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom. Currently pursuing a degree in Finance and Economics, I have experience tutoring middle and high school students in math, reading, and standardized test preparation, including the SAT, which I achieved a score of 1530. I particularly enjoy tutoring math because of the logical thinking and real-world applications it fosters. My approach adapts to each student's learning style, ensuring lessons are clear, interactive, and tailored to their needs. I believe that success comes not just from memorization but from truly understanding the "why" behind each concept. Beyond tutoring, I have experience in investment analysis and enjoy exploring the intersection of finance, strategy, and sports. In my free time, I love traveling, analyzing business trends, and staying active. My goal is to help students build confidence, improve their academic performance, and develop a lasting appreciation for learning.

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.
