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.
With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor focuses entirely on your strengths and weak areas rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This means spending more time on challenging topics like consolidations or tax calculations, skipping content you've already mastered, and getting immediate feedback on practice exams—something you won't get from study groups or solo preparation.
Your first session focuses on understanding your background, CPA exam timeline, which sections you're tackling first, and areas where you feel least confident. The tutor will assess your current knowledge level and create a customized study plan that fits your schedule and learning style, so you can start making progress immediately.
Many candidates struggle with FAR's complex consolidation rules, AUD's audit procedures and evidence evaluation, REG's tax code applications, and BEC's economics and IT concepts. Time management is another major hurdle—balancing study with work or other commitments while maintaining retention across all four sections. Personalized tutoring helps you tackle these specific pain points with targeted strategies.
Most candidates need 300-400 hours of study time across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and prior exam experience. With personalized tutoring, you can study more efficiently by focusing on high-impact topics and avoiding time spent on material you already understand, potentially reducing your overall prep timeline.
Look for tutors who are themselves CPAs or have extensive accounting experience, are familiar with current exam content and question formats, and have a track record helping candidates pass. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Riverside who understand both the technical accounting concepts and the best strategies for exam success.
Yes—many candidates recommend starting with FAR since it's the most heavily tested and foundational, followed by AUD, then BEC and REG. However, your ideal order depends on your strengths and work schedule. A tutor can help you decide which section to tackle first based on your background and goals, and create a study sequence that builds momentum.
Many candidates see noticeable improvement in their practice exam scores within 2-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when focusing on one section at a time. The key is applying what you learn in tutoring sessions to your daily practice—tutors help you develop strategies that stick, so you're not just memorizing but truly understanding the material for exam day.
