Varsity Tutors has EA classes for tax practitioners who are looking to become federally licensed. To earn your license, you will need to pass the Special Enrollment Exam or SEE. With the valuable help in your EA test prep, you can demonstrate your true abilities on the SEE. Your results will gain you unlimited practice rights to represent taxpayers to the IRS. You will also be able to prepare tax returns, advise and represent clients, and much more.
With the guidance you will get in an EA course through Varsity Tutors, you can gain valuable study and test-taking skills to help you now and in your future academic adventures. You will want to take advantage of the personalized EA test prep with expert EA tutoring. Your personal tutor knows the exam contents, and they are happy to work right along with you during each EA class on the skills and concepts you struggle with the most.
Your skills will be tested in many different areas. Below is a list of some of the topics covered on the exam:
SEE Exam Topics (non-comprehensive)
- Tax filing statuses, due dates, and other setup requirements
- Types of income
- Itemized deductions
- Credits
- Alternative minimum tax and credit for prior year
- Gift taxes

There are so many benefits to signing up for EA courses through Varsity Tutors. For one, your instructor can make customized EA prep sessions that are based on your specific needs. You don't have to follow a cookie cutter EA test prep syllabus. If you understand farm income, but you struggle with gift taxes, you can spend more time focusing on that and free up some valuable EA prep time. Also, if your time management skills are lacking or you get nervous easily, a tutor can help you develop strategies to attack those issues as well.
EA tutors can use a number of techniques to figure out where you stand with your understanding of the exam contents. Your tutor can also keep track of your progress in real time, adjusting each EA test preparation session as you grasp subjects to make sure you are constantly moving forward. This flexibility is one of the best benefits of working with a private EA prep tutor.
You can be matched with an EA test prep professional who best matches your scheduling needs. Also, there is a Live Learning Platform that allows you to access and schedule lessons from anywhere you have a stable internet connection. You can use your laptop, desktop, smartphone, or tablet for even more convenience. EA test prep can be convenient and easy to schedule.
It probably goes without saying, but they more time that you put into your EA prep, the better prepared you may be on test day. A tutor can work along with you to help you get the most out of your study sessions. These skilled professionals want to see you succeed, so they can help you find the areas you are lacking in and go from there. If you are ready to get started preparing for the Special Enrollment Exam, reach out to Varsity Tutors today. We can answer your questions and help you connect with an expert EA preparation assistant today.

Chuck: Niles test prep instructor
I tutor the LSAT because I know it's a hard test and I know what it's like to struggle with it. However I also understand the process necessary to produce better scores, and nothing is more satisfying to me than helping someone achieve what seemed impossible a few months ago.... Your score is a product of so many factors--your understanding of the material, your speed, even how accurately you bubble answers--but in the end it all comes down to whether you studied the test from every angle and put in the time necessary to get the results you want.
