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.

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.
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.
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 candidates 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). A tutor helps you master the technical content, develop test-taking strategies, and build confidence in areas where you're struggling—whether that's complex consolidations, audit procedures, or tax regulations.
In a classroom or group study setting, instruction moves at a fixed pace that may not match your learning speed. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor adapts to your specific gaps—whether you need deeper dives into journal entries and financial statements or extra practice on regulation scenarios. This targeted approach typically accelerates progress and helps you pass sections faster than self-study alone.
Many candidates struggle with FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting) due to its breadth and technical complexity, particularly consolidations and equity accounting. Others find REG (Regulation) overwhelming because of the volume of tax rules and their frequent changes. Time management is another major challenge—balancing study with work and life responsibilities. A tutor helps you prioritize high-impact topics, build efficient study habits, and tackle weak areas systematically.
Your first session typically starts with an assessment of your current knowledge, study habits, and specific pain points. The tutor will discuss which CPA section you're targeting, review any practice exam results, and understand your timeline and goals. From there, they'll create a personalized study plan that focuses on your biggest gaps and builds toward consistent passing scores.
Yes, section order can affect your success. Many candidates recommend starting with FAR or BEC since they provide foundational knowledge for other sections. Others prefer starting with a section that plays to their strengths to build momentum early. A tutor can help you choose an order based on your background, strengths, and study timeline—and adjust your plan if you don't pass on your first attempt.
Most candidates spend 300–400 hours studying across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and target timeline. With personalized tutoring, you can often study more efficiently by focusing on high-yield topics and avoiding wasted time on material you already know. Many candidates work with a tutor for 8–16 weeks per section, depending on their pace and the complexity of the material.
While accounting experience is valuable, it's not required to pass the CPA exam. What matters is mastering the exam content—which includes concepts you may not encounter in your current role. A tutor can bridge gaps between your real-world experience and exam knowledge, translating abstract concepts into practical examples and helping you understand why certain accounting treatments are correct.
Absolutely. If you didn't pass a section, a tutor can analyze your exam feedback, identify which topics gave you the most trouble, and rebuild your understanding from the ground up. They'll help you avoid repeating the same mistakes, focus on your weakest areas, and develop stronger test-taking strategies. Many candidates pass on their second attempt with targeted tutoring support.
