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 CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam is a rigorous four-part test that requires deep knowledge of auditing, financial accounting, regulation, and business environment topics. Many candidates struggle with the exam's breadth and complexity—personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you focus on your specific weak areas, build conceptual understanding rather than just memorizing content, and develop test-taking strategies tailored to your learning style. With a tutor, you can work through challenging topics at your own pace instead of being held back or rushed in a classroom setting.
Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will evaluate your current knowledge across the four CPA exam sections, discuss your timeline and goals, identify which topics need the most work, and create a customized study plan. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session builds directly toward your exam readiness and doesn't waste time on material you've already mastered.
Many candidates struggle with the breadth of material across all four sections, difficulty connecting theoretical concepts to practical application, time management during the exam, and balancing study with work or other responsibilities. Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by breaking complex topics into digestible pieces, using real-world examples to build understanding, practicing exam-style questions under timed conditions, and fitting study sessions around your schedule.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in CPA exam preparation and can guide you through Auditing (AUD), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), Regulation (REG), and Business Environment and Concepts (BEC). Whether you need help with one section or all four, you can work with a tutor who tailors instruction to your specific needs and exam timeline.
Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and target timeline. With personalized tutoring, you can study more efficiently by focusing on high-impact topics and avoiding time wasted on material you already understand. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule and adjust it as you progress through each section.
Look for tutors who hold an active CPA license, have passed all four exam sections themselves, and have experience teaching CPA candidates. They should understand current exam content and format, be able to explain complex accounting concepts clearly, and have a track record of helping students improve their scores. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with experienced tutors who meet these standards.
Many candidates see noticeable improvement in their understanding and practice exam scores within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on your starting point and study frequency. You should expect to see clearer grasp of difficult topics, higher scores on practice questions, and growing confidence with exam-style problems. Your tutor will track your progress regularly and adjust the study plan to keep you moving toward your target score.
Pricing varies based on your tutor's experience level, the number of sessions you book, and your specific needs. Many candidates find it helpful to start with a few sessions to assess their weak areas, then commit to a longer-term plan for comprehensive preparation. Varsity Tutors can discuss flexible options that fit your budget and timeline—reach out to learn about rates for tutors in Phoenix.
