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!

Alexandra
BA University of North Texas
6+ Years Tutoring

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 exam preparation covers four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Each section tests different competencies in accounting, auditing, taxation, and business law. Most candidates need 100-150 hours of study per section to develop the depth of knowledge required to pass.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific knowledge gaps, clarify complex concepts like consolidations or tax regulations, and create a targeted study plan based on your learning pace. Rather than working through generic study materials, you get real-time feedback, practice problem walkthroughs, and strategies tailored to how you learn best—which significantly accelerates progress compared to independent study.

FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting) is typically the most challenging section due to its breadth of content, complex consolidation rules, and detailed accounting standards. Many candidates also struggle with BEC's diverse topics and REG's constantly changing tax laws. Personalized tutoring helps you master these difficult areas by breaking down intricate concepts and providing targeted practice on your weakest topics.

Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will discuss your CPA exam timeline, which sections you're targeting, your current knowledge level, and your learning goals. This information helps create a customized study strategy that focuses on your priority areas and maximizes your preparation efficiency before exam day.

Most candidates spend 4-6 months preparing for the CPA exam, though this varies based on your accounting background and how many hours you can dedicate weekly. Those with strong accounting foundations may prepare faster, while others benefit from a longer timeline to build foundational knowledge. A tutor can help you create a realistic schedule based on your starting point and target exam date.

Look for tutors who are CPAs themselves or have extensive accounting experience and deep knowledge of the current exam format. They should understand the nuances of each section, be familiar with the testing software, and have a track record helping candidates pass. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have the credentials and experience to guide you through rigorous CPA preparation.

CPA exam questions test your ability to apply accounting principles to complex, real-world scenarios—not just recall facts. Regular practice with exam-style questions builds the problem-solving skills you need and helps you identify which topics need more review. Tutors use targeted practice problems to reinforce concepts and build confidence before you sit for the exam.

St. Louis has a strong accounting community with professional organizations and study groups, but personalized tutoring gives you one-on-one expert guidance tailored to your specific needs. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who can provide customized instruction that complements other study resources and fits your schedule, helping you prepare efficiently for exam success.
