While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Language Arts Writing, and Critical Thinking. In my experience in helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I see a lot of progress in all subjects when I weave in games with skills practice. I am a big proponent of individualized lesson plans that focus on the child's strengths, interests, and areas that need improvement. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, walking trails, and the fun, free events in Austin.
Carol
Accounting Tutor • +13 Subjects
Along with my CPA, I have a BBA in Accounting and an MBA in General Business, both obtained from Texas A and M University - Commerce. With more than 20 years of experience in accounting working for multi-billion dollar companies, I've gained exposure to the many facets of accounting. As such, I enjoy teaching others the things I have learned.My philosophy around education and learning is simple. I believe every situation, even the unpleasant ones, is an opportunity to learn something new. Learning gives you the platform to go beyond what you ever thought you could. Therefore, I take my responsibility to help others on their academic journey very seriously.Toward that end, actively listening, being flexible in my approach to meeting each student's needs, and being patient with those that learn differently are all part of my repertoire.In education, there is no one size fits all and understanding that allows me to approach tutoring in a way that one size fits many.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
