Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with understanding the fundamental concept of debits and credits, which forms the foundation for all accounting work. Others find it difficult to connect abstract accounting principles to real-world business scenarios, or they rush through journal entries and trial balances without fully grasping the underlying logic. Personalized tutoring helps students slow down, build confidence in these core concepts, and develop the systematic thinking that accounting requires.

In a classroom with a 19:1 student-teacher ratio like many Los Angeles schools, it's challenging for teachers to address individual learning gaps or adjust pacing for students who need extra time on complex topics like consolidations or variance analysis. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where a student is struggling, reteach concepts using different approaches, and provide immediate feedback on problem-solving techniques—all at the student's own pace.

Tutoring covers foundational accounting including the accounting equation, journal entries, ledgers, and financial statement preparation, as well as advanced topics like accounts receivable, inventory valuation methods, depreciation, and basic managerial accounting. For students taking AP Accounting or pursuing accounting certifications, tutors can also support specialized areas like cost accounting, budgeting, and financial analysis. The specific focus depends on your student's grade level and course requirements.

During the initial session, a tutor will assess your student's current understanding of accounting fundamentals, identify specific areas of difficulty, and learn about their learning style and goals. This might involve reviewing recent assignments, quizzes, or exams to pinpoint gaps. From there, the tutor will create a personalized plan focused on building confidence and addressing the most impactful challenges first.

Many students see meaningful progress within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when focusing on foundational skills like the accounting cycle or financial statement analysis. More significant improvements—such as moving from struggling with concepts to mastering complex problem-solving—often develop over 2-3 months of regular sessions. The timeline depends on the student's starting point, frequency of tutoring, and how actively they practice between sessions.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in accounting, which may include CPA credentials, accounting degrees, or extensive professional experience in bookkeeping, financial analysis, or auditing. All tutors are vetted for subject expertise and teaching ability, ensuring they can explain complex concepts clearly and help students build both understanding and confidence in their accounting skills.

Tutoring is available for students taking introductory accounting courses in high school, AP Accounting, college-level financial and managerial accounting, and specialized courses like cost accounting or advanced financial reporting. Whether your student is just learning the basics or preparing for an accounting exam or certification, Varsity Tutors can match them with a tutor experienced in their specific course level and goals.

Simply share your student's accounting course, current challenges, and availability, and Varsity Tutors will match them with a qualified tutor who fits their needs. You can then schedule sessions at times that work best for your family. The process is straightforward, and tutors are ready to start helping your student build accounting skills and confidence right away.
