As a licensed CPA and CFA Level III candidate, Jonathan knows the exam inside out — from FAR's government and nonprofit accounting standards to the AUD section's logic for evaluating internal controls. He breaks down each section's weight and question style so candidates study strategically instead of trying to memorize every AICPA blueprint line item. Rated 4.9 by students.

Finishing dual degrees in accounting and finance at UNF, Daniel knows the academic side of CPA exam content — FAR topics like governmental accounting and consolidations, and BEC concepts like cost accounting and corporate governance — inside and out. He walks candidates through the trickiest areas of the material with a structured, concept-first approach that builds real understanding before drilling multiple-choice strategy.
Nearly two decades as a licensed CPA in New York State — spanning public accounting, manufacturing, banking, and nonprofit work — means Sharon has actually applied the material tested on FAR, AUD, REG, and BEC in real engagements. Her Master's in Accountancy with a forensic accounting concentration adds depth on topics like fraud examination and valuation that candidates often find abstract. Rated 5.0 by students, she connects exam concepts to the professional scenarios that make them easier to internalize.
Jonathan scored a 93 on FAR, 90 on AUD, 95 on BEC, and 94 on REG — and he uses that recent experience to teach candidates exactly how to prioritize study time across each section. He digs into the areas that sink most first-time takers, like governmental accounting in FAR or basis calculations in REG, and builds targeted review strategies around them. His Master in Professional Accounting from UT Austin gives him the technical depth to explain even the trickiest multi-step simulations.
I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!
I am most passionate about SAT/ACT Reading and Writing, Spanish, History, and ESOL. I enjoy being a tutor because I love to help students strive for and achieve their goals! I believe every student learns in a different way, which is why I personalize my tutoring approach to fit YOUR needs. I am familiar with the SAT and ACT reading and writing sections, and I can help students improve their scores by walking them through practice questions AND giving them my own testing strategies. I know the SAT and ACT can be stressful for students, but I prepare them so that they walk into the testing room feeling confident and ready!
I am a rising senior at The University of North Texas in Denton. I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish as well as English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was raised in an academically competitive environment in Fort Bend County and my rigorous secondary education prepared me for success in college. I am a fortunate member of the Terry Scholarship Foundation, which has provided me and hundreds of other Texans with a private, four-year, full-ride scholarship. As a Terry Scholar, I am well-versed in all subjects and have taken on the role of mentor to many of the incoming freshmen. I have spent most of my free time in college as a nanny and tutor to families around the DFW area. I have experience with all age groups and there is nothing that intimidates me! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Spanish, and Government/Social Studies. Through my experiences helping struggling students and peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I hope to share my love of learning with all of my students. After graduation I plan on returning to Houston to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching from Rice University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing anything from poetry to screenplays. I have also been involved in competitive dance for most of my adolescence, so I understand the balance of academics and extracurriculars.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CPA exam consists of four sections—Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG)—each requiring deep knowledge of accounting principles, tax law, and auditing standards. Most candidates need 150 credit hours of education and pass all four sections within an 18-month rolling window. Personalized tutoring helps you focus on your weakest areas rather than spending equal time on every topic.
Most CPA candidates struggle with the sheer volume of material—the exam covers hundreds of accounting standards, tax codes, and audit procedures that can feel overwhelming in a classroom setting. The FAR section is particularly challenging due to its breadth, while REG requires memorization of complex tax rules that frequently change. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're getting stuck and adjust the pace and teaching method to match your learning style, rather than moving through material at a fixed classroom speed.
While review courses cover all exam topics systematically, they can't adapt to your individual weak spots or learning pace. Study groups are helpful for discussion but often lack expert guidance on the most testable concepts. Personalized tutoring gives you one-on-one attention from someone who understands the exam deeply—they can drill down on your problem areas, explain concepts in ways that click for you, and help you develop a study strategy tailored to your timeline and background.
Your first session is about assessment and planning. A tutor will likely ask about your accounting background, which exam sections you're most concerned about, your target test date, and how much time you can dedicate to studying. They may give you a diagnostic quiz or review sample questions to identify knowledge gaps, then work with you to create a focused study plan. This personalized roadmap ensures your tutoring time targets the areas where you'll see the biggest score improvement.
Kentucky follows the AICPA's standard CPA exam requirements, but the Kentucky Board of Accountancy does require 150 credit hours of education (including specific accounting and business courses) before you can sit for the exam. After passing all four sections, you'll need to complete an internship or work experience requirement under a licensed CPA. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand Kentucky's specific requirements and can help ensure your study plan aligns with state board expectations.
Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, typically taking 6-12 months to complete the exam. Some tackle it faster with intensive study, while others spread it over 18 months. The national average pass rate per section is around 50%, so having expert guidance on high-yield topics and test-taking strategies can significantly improve your odds. Personalized tutoring helps you study more efficiently so you can reach exam-ready status faster.
Look for tutors who are themselves CPAs or have passed all four exam sections—they understand the exam from lived experience, not just textbook knowledge. They should be familiar with current exam content (which updates regularly), understand the AICPA's testing format and time constraints, and ideally have experience helping multiple candidates pass. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and can provide the expert guidance you need to succeed.
A tutor can help you prioritize which sections to tackle first based on your strengths, recommend which high-yield topics to focus on, and teach you test-taking strategies specific to the CPA exam's format. They can also help you balance breadth (understanding all major topics) with depth (mastering the most heavily tested concepts). With personalized guidance, you avoid wasting time on low-yield material and build a study plan that fits your schedule and learning pace.
