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 helps candidates prepare 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 mastering complex accounting principles, tax regulations, audit procedures, and business law—tailoring instruction to your learning pace and focusing on the areas where you need the most support.
In a classroom setting, instructors must move at an average pace that doesn't always match individual needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets tutors identify your specific knowledge gaps—whether that's journal entries, consolidation accounting, or tax calculations—and spend focused time on those areas. This targeted approach helps you build confidence faster and retain complex material more effectively than self-study or group classes.
Many candidates struggle with the sheer volume of material across four exam sections, the technical depth of accounting standards, and managing study time while working full-time. Others find it difficult to transition from memorizing concepts to applying them in scenario-based exam questions. A tutor can help you develop a structured study plan, break down complex topics into manageable pieces, and practice exam-style questions with immediate feedback to build test-taking confidence.
Your first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand your background, assess your current knowledge level, and learn about your CPA exam timeline and goals. The tutor will likely review which sections you've already studied, identify areas of weakness, and discuss your learning style to create a personalized study strategy. This foundation helps ensure that all future sessions are focused and efficient.
Most CPA candidates spend 120–150 hours studying per exam section, though this varies based on your accounting background and prior experience. With personalized tutoring, you can study more efficiently by focusing on high-impact concepts and avoiding wasted time on material you've already mastered. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your current knowledge and the exam date you're targeting.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep knowledge of CPA exam content and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to your needs. You can share your exam timeline, which sections you want to focus on, and your preferred study approach, and you'll be matched with a tutor who fits your goals. Getting started is straightforward—reach out to discuss your CPA prep plan.
Look for tutors who hold or are pursuing their CPA credential, have passed multiple exam sections, and understand current accounting standards and tax regulations. Experience tutoring other CPA candidates is valuable, as is familiarity with major review courses and exam question formats. A qualified tutor should be able to explain complex concepts clearly and help you develop practical problem-solving strategies.
Progress is measured through improved performance on practice exams, stronger understanding of specific topics, and increased confidence tackling different question types. Your tutor can track which sections you're mastering and adjust the study plan accordingly. Many candidates see measurable improvement in their practice test scores within a few weeks of focused tutoring, which is a strong indicator of readiness for the actual exam.
