In a classroom with a 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers must move at a pace that works for the average student, which means some concepts get glossed over or rushed. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to slow down on challenging topics like journal entries or financial statement analysis, use multiple teaching methods to match how you learn best, and adjust pacing based on your mastery rather than a fixed curriculum schedule.

Your first session focuses on understanding your current level, learning goals, and any specific challenges you're facing—whether that's AP Accounting, introductory bookkeeping, or preparing for a professional certification exam. The tutor will assess your comfort with foundational concepts like the accounting equation and basic journal entries, then create a personalized plan to address gaps and build toward your goals.
