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.
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.
