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.

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.
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.
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 Certified Public Accountant exam, which consists of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Tutors help students master complex accounting principles, tax regulations, audit procedures, and business law—breaking down challenging concepts into manageable pieces so you can build confidence and pass each section on your first attempt.
With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can focus entirely on your specific weak areas—whether that's consolidating journal entries, understanding lease accounting standards, or mastering tax calculations—rather than moving at a group pace. Tutors adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, provide targeted practice on your most challenging topics, and give you immediate feedback so you can correct misconceptions before they become ingrained study habits.
Many candidates struggle with the sheer volume of material—FAR and AUD are particularly dense—and the gap between memorizing rules and applying them to complex scenarios on the exam. Time management across four sections, understanding interconnections between accounting standards, and maintaining motivation through a lengthy study period are also major hurdles. Personalized tutoring helps you prioritize high-impact topics, build a systematic study plan, and develop test-taking strategies that work for your learning style.
Your first session typically involves an assessment of your current knowledge, understanding your target exam date and study timeline, and identifying which sections or topics are causing the most difficulty. The tutor will also learn about your learning preferences and any previous exam attempts so they can create a personalized study roadmap. This foundation ensures that every session afterward is focused and efficient, maximizing your preparation time.
The AICPA recommends 120-150 hours of study per section, though this varies based on your accounting background and the time you can dedicate weekly. Most candidates study for 4-6 months while working full-time, taking one or two sections at a time. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your schedule and learning pace, ensure you're using study time efficiently, and adjust your plan if you need more focus on particular areas.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have passed the CPA exam and have experience helping candidates prepare for specific sections. When you reach out, you'll be matched with a tutor whose expertise and teaching style fit your needs—whether you're tackling FAR for the first time or retaking REG after a previous attempt. The matching process takes into account your study goals, schedule, and learning preferences.
Look for tutors who are themselves CPAs or have successfully passed all four CPA exam sections, understand current accounting standards (GAAP and IFRS), and have experience teaching the specific section you're studying. They should be able to explain complex concepts clearly, provide relevant practice problems, and help you understand not just the "what" but the "why" behind accounting principles. Experience with the exam format and common student mistakes is also valuable.
Passing the CPA exam opens doors to higher earning potential and career advancement in accounting and finance—the average CPA earns significantly more than non-certified accountants. Tutoring accelerates your preparation, reduces the risk of retaking expensive exam sections, and helps you pass on your first attempt, which saves both time and money. Many candidates find that focused, personalized instruction pays for itself through faster exam completion and career benefits.
