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
CPA tutoring prepares you for the Uniform CPA Examination, which consists of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Tutors work with you on conceptual understanding, problem-solving strategies, and exam-specific techniques to help you pass each section on your first attempt.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets you focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's consolidating journal entries, mastering tax calculations, or understanding audit procedures—rather than moving through material at a fixed pace. A tutor can adapt explanations to your learning style, answer questions in real-time, and create a study plan aligned with your exam timeline and target score.
Many students struggle with the breadth of material across all four sections, the complexity of FAR concepts, and time management during the exam. Others find it difficult to apply theoretical knowledge to scenario-based questions or balance exam prep with work and other commitments. Personalized tutoring helps you tackle these challenges systematically by breaking down complex topics and building test-taking confidence.
Your first session typically includes an assessment of your current knowledge, a discussion of your exam timeline and goals, and an overview of which CPA sections need the most attention. From there, you and your tutor will create a customized study plan that prioritizes your weak areas and builds toward consistent passing scores on practice exams.
Most candidates spend 300–400 hours preparing for the entire CPA exam 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 concepts and avoiding gaps that might require rework later. Your tutor can help you create a realistic schedule based on your current knowledge and exam date.
Yes, many candidates benefit from taking FAR first since it's the most comprehensive section, followed by AUD, REG, and BEC. However, the best order depends on your strengths and work experience. A tutor can help you determine the most strategic sequence based on your background and which sections align with your job responsibilities.
Look for tutors who are CPAs themselves or have extensive accounting experience and a proven track record helping candidates pass the exam. They should be familiar with the current exam format, understand common pitfalls, and be able to explain complex topics clearly. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have the expertise and teaching ability to guide you toward success.
Practice exams are essential—they help you identify knowledge gaps, build stamina for the actual test, and get comfortable with the question format and time constraints. Most successful candidates take multiple full-length practice exams and review their results thoroughly. Your tutor can use practice exam performance to guide your study focus and help you develop strategies for different question types.
