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 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, auditing standards, and business law—helping you build the deep understanding needed to pass each section and launch your accounting career.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets you focus on your specific weak areas rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum. A tutor can identify exactly where you're struggling—whether it's consolidation accounting, audit sampling, or tax calculations—and spend concentrated time there instead of reviewing material you already know. This targeted approach typically helps candidates study more efficiently and pass sections faster than group study alone.
Many candidates struggle with the sheer volume of material across all four sections, the complexity of FAR (which covers consolidations and advanced accounting topics), and applying concepts to simulation-style questions on the exam. Time management is another major challenge—balancing exam prep with work and other responsibilities. Personalized tutoring helps you prioritize what matters most and develop strategies to tackle difficult concepts before test day.
Your first session is focused on understanding your background, goals, and current knowledge level. You'll discuss which CPA sections you're targeting, when you plan to sit for the exam, and which topics feel most challenging. The tutor will assess your strengths and gaps, then create a personalized study plan tailored to your timeline and learning style so you can make the most of your preparation time.
Most candidates need 300-400 hours of study to pass all four CPA sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and experience. With personalized tutoring, you can study more strategically by focusing on high-impact topics and exam-style questions rather than reviewing everything equally. Many candidates work with a tutor for 2-4 months while balancing work and other commitments, though your timeline depends on your starting point and exam schedule.
Look for tutors who are CPAs themselves or have extensive accounting experience and deep knowledge of the exam content. They should be familiar with current CPA exam format, including the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) platform and simulation questions, and ideally have helped other candidates pass. Experience with candidates in Minneapolis and across Minnesota means they understand the specific challenges you face and can adapt their teaching to your learning style.
While comprehensive CPA review courses are helpful, you don't need to buy everything upfront. Many tutors can work with the materials you already have or recommend cost-effective resources based on your needs. A tutor's main value is helping you understand difficult concepts, practice with exam-style questions, and develop a study strategy—not just pushing you through expensive prep packages.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have the CPA knowledge and teaching experience you need. You'll tell us about your exam timeline, which sections you're focusing on, and your learning preferences, and we'll match you with a tutor who fits your goals.
