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.

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.
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.
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 Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam is a rigorous, four-part professional certification required to practice as a CPA in New York and across the United States. Passing the exam demonstrates mastery of accounting principles, auditing, financial reporting, and tax regulations—skills essential for career advancement in accounting and finance. Many employers in New York's competitive financial sector prioritize CPA certification when hiring for accounting roles.
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 section tests different competencies, with FAR and REG typically considered the most challenging by candidates. Personalized tutoring can help you focus on your weakest areas and develop a strategic study plan tailored to your learning pace.
National CPA exam pass rates average around 45-50% per section, meaning most candidates don't pass on their first attempt. Many candidates struggle with time management, complex multi-step problems, and retaining technical material across all four sections. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you master high-yield topics, practice exam-style questions under timed conditions, and build confidence before test day.
In a classroom of hundreds or self-study environment, you don't get feedback tailored to your specific knowledge gaps. Personalized tutoring allows an expert tutor to identify exactly where you're struggling—whether it's journal entries, consolidations, or tax calculations—and adjust instruction accordingly. This targeted approach helps you study more efficiently and avoid wasting time on material you already understand.
Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your CPA exam timeline, which sections concern you most, and your learning style. The tutor will likely assess your current knowledge level, review your study materials, and create a personalized roadmap for tackling the exam content. You'll leave with clear next steps and a sense of how personalized instruction can support your preparation.
Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and target timeline. Working professionals in New York often spread preparation over 6-12 months while balancing work and other commitments. A tutor can help you create a realistic schedule, prioritize high-impact topics, and maintain momentum throughout your study period.
