I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.

I am originally from Augusta, Georgia and did my undergraduate studies at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. I waited tables through college there and majored in accounting. I am currently a graduate student at the Leventhal school of accounting at USC. I enjoy guitar, reading, and fitness.
Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes every journal entry and T-account feel intuitive rather than arbitrary. Matt studied finance at the university level and applies that background to teach accounting as a coherent framework — from the balance sheet equation through adjusting entries and financial statement preparation.
As a paid accounting tutor at Babson College, Bradley spends his weeks untangling the journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement relationships that trip students up in introductory and intermediate courses. He's especially sharp at explaining the logic behind debits and credits so that the rules stop feeling arbitrary. Students who need help connecting the accounting cycle from trial balance through closing entries will find he knows the material cold.
Debits and credits stop being confusing once someone walks you through the logic behind the accounting equation rather than just drilling journal entries. George's B.S. in Business Administration from UNC Chapel Hill gave him deep exposure to financial statements, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, and he explains adjusting entries and closing processes in plain language that clicks.
Between serving as a supplemental instruction leader and a tutor at the University of North Florida, Daniel has spent years walking students through accounting coursework at every level — from high school basics to upper-division topics like cost accounting and managerial accounting. His dual degree in accounting and finance means he doesn't just know how to post entries; he understands how those numbers feed into the financial decisions that give them purpose. Rated 4.9 by students.
Debits, credits, and journal entries click faster when you understand the logic behind double-entry bookkeeping instead of treating it as rote procedure. Benjamin earned his Finance and Economics degree from Notre Dame, where accounting coursework was central to his business training. He breaks down the balance sheet equation and walks through adjusting entries in a way that makes the full accounting cycle feel intuitive.
Debits and credits finally make sense when someone explains the underlying logic instead of just handing you T-account templates. Mustafa approaches accounting by grounding each journal entry in the accounting equation, so students understand why an asset increase pairs with a liability or equity change. His analytical rigor from NYU Law carries over well to the detail-oriented nature of balance sheets and income statements.
Most people treat accounting as a set of rules to follow, but Clark's MBA in Accounting and Financial Management taught him it's really the language every business decision gets filtered through. He digs into topics like accrual vs. cash-basis reporting, closing entries, and variance analysis by tying each concept back to the managerial choices it informs — so the ledger work feels like storytelling, not busywork.
Noah's business economics degree required coursework across financial accounting, managerial accounting, and cost accounting — giving him a breadth that lets him match explanations to whichever course a student is actually taking. He connects accounting concepts to the broader economic decisions businesses face, like how cost behavior shapes pricing or how variance analysis informs budgeting. That business-side perspective makes the numbers feel purposeful instead of abstract.
As a finance student at the University of Connecticut, Austin works with accounting concepts from the user's side — he's learning how financial statements inform investment analysis, lending decisions, and corporate strategy. That vantage point shapes how he teaches the nuts and bolts of debits, credits, and the accounting cycle, grounding each entry in the business logic it ultimately serves.
Studying finance and statistics at NYU means Eric encounters accounting principles from the other side — as the language businesses use to communicate financial health. That perspective lets him teach concepts like the accounting equation, income statements, and balance sheets by showing what the numbers mean in practice, not just how to record them. Rated 5.0 by students.
Nearly twenty years as a licensed CPA — spanning public practice, manufacturing, banking, and nonprofit work — means Sharon has seen the full accounting cycle play out in wildly different contexts. She unpacks debits, credits, journal entries, and financial statement preparation by connecting textbook rules to how transactions actually move through a real organization. Rated 5.0 by students.
As an adjunct finance professor who also teaches intermediate and cost accounting, Andrew sees the full picture of how debits, credits, and financial statements connect to real business decisions. He digs into journal entries, T-accounts, and adjusting entries with enough patience to make the logic click, not just the procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with understanding the relationship between debits and credits, applying accounting principles to real-world scenarios, and managing the volume of detail-oriented work required. Additionally, students often find it challenging to connect foundational concepts like the accounting equation to more complex topics like financial statement analysis and consolidations. Personalized tutoring helps break down these concepts into manageable pieces and builds confidence through targeted practice.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current skill level, learning goals, and specific challenges—whether you're working on foundational bookkeeping, preparing for the CPA exam, or mastering advanced corporate accounting. The tutor will assess your knowledge of key concepts like the accounting cycle, financial statements, and journal entries to create a personalized learning plan. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session targets your unique needs and builds toward measurable progress.
High school accounting typically covers foundational bookkeeping, the accounting cycle, and basic financial statements, while college-level courses introduce more complex topics like intermediate accounting, cost accounting, auditing, and advanced financial reporting. The CPA exam path requires mastery of all these areas plus taxation and business law. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand these progressions and can help you master concepts at whatever level you're studying.
In a classroom with a 22:1 student-teacher ratio, it's difficult for instructors to address individual gaps in understanding or adjust pacing to your needs. Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your learning style, spend extra time on concepts you find challenging, and skip material you've already mastered. This targeted approach typically leads to faster skill development and deeper understanding of complex accounting principles.
You'll develop hands-on proficiency in journal entries, ledger management, financial statement preparation, reconciliations, and analysis of accounting data. Beyond technical skills, you'll learn how to interpret financial information, identify accounting issues in real scenarios, and communicate findings clearly—all critical for academic success and professional careers. Regular practice with real-world examples helps solidify these skills and builds the confidence needed for exams or workplace applications.

Progress is tracked through improved performance on homework, quizzes, and exams, as well as your growing ability to solve complex accounting problems independently. You'll notice clearer understanding of concepts you previously found confusing, faster problem-solving speed, and increased confidence in applying accounting principles. Your tutor will regularly assess your mastery and adjust the focus of sessions to ensure you're moving toward your specific goals, whether that's improving your GPA, passing a certification exam, or building professional competency.
