Rated 5.0 by students.

Holding a Master of Science in Accounting, Sam digs into the logic behind debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement preparation rather than treating them as rules to memorize. He walks through the full accounting cycle — from trial balance adjustments to closing entries — so students understand how each step feeds the next. That conceptual grounding makes advanced topics like depreciation methods and inventory valuation click faster.

Irene treats accounting as applied math — because that's exactly what it is. Her PhD in mathematics gives her a precise way of explaining debits and credits, journal entries, and the logic behind the accounting equation that clicks for students who need more than "just follow the rules."

Debits and credits make intuitive sense once you understand what they're actually tracking — and that's where Nicole starts.

He walks through the accounting cycle step by step, linking each phase to the bigger financial picture.

A linguistics background might seem unrelated to accounting, but Andrew's training in rule-based systems and structural analysis maps surprisingly well onto double-entry bookkeeping — both disciplines demand precise, internally consistent logic. He breaks down the accounting equation and basic transaction recording by treating each entry as a piece of a larger grammatical structure, where every debit and credit must balance the way a sentence must parse.

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. While there, I majored in Economics and minored in International Studies with a focus in International Political Economy and Development.

It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and success on AP tests.

Holds a 5.0 rating.
