Debits, credits, and journal entries click faster when the underlying logic is clear — Professor Florence teaches accounting by connecting each transaction to the financial statements it ultimately affects. Her MBA from USC and years teaching at multiple universities mean she can bridge the gap between textbook exercises and how real businesses track their money.

Debits and credits stop being confusing once someone walks you through the logic behind the accounting equation rather than just drilling journal entries. George's B.S. in Business Administration from UNC Chapel Hill gave him deep exposure to financial statements, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, and he explains adjusting entries and closing processes in plain language that clicks.
I am confident in my ability to work well with students and their parents. I provide tools, resources and a mindset necessary to improve your child's academic performance and meet their desired goals.
Debits and credits confuse almost everyone at first because the logic feels backward until the balance sheet clicks as a complete system. Shih, a finance major and state-certified teacher from UGA, unpacks the accounting equation by building each journal entry from the transaction's economic reality — making adjusting entries, depreciation schedules, and financial statement preparation far more intuitive.
Debits and credits confuse most new accounting students because the logic feels backwards until it suddenly doesn't. Hardik unpacks the double-entry system by connecting journal entries to what's actually happening in a business — cash moving, liabilities forming, equity shifting — so the balance sheet tells a story instead of just balancing.
Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes the rest of accounting fall into place — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, even full financial statement preparation. Erik's business training at BYU included accounting coursework, and he approaches the subject by anchoring every transaction to the accounting equation so students always know why the numbers balance.
Jake teaches accounting across multiple levels — from introductory debits and credits through corporate accounting, tax accounting, and intermediate topics like bond amortization and lease classifications. His engineering background means he approaches journal entries and financial statements with the same precision he'd apply to circuit analysis. Rated 5.0 by students, he's especially effective at breaking down the logic behind accrual-basis adjustments.
From introductory journal entries to complex topics like depreciation methods and bank reconciliations, Jonathan covers the full spectrum of accounting fundamentals. He scored above 90 on every section of the CPA exam (FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) and spent time as a graduate TA breaking down the same concepts he now teaches one-on-one.
Currently pursuing a Master of Professional Accountancy at UT and a CPA license, Emily is working through advanced accounting material in real time — which sharpens how she teaches everything from introductory journal entries to intermediate topics like depreciation methods and accrual adjustments. Her undergraduate accounting degree and part-time tutoring experience mean she's already spent years translating tricky ledger mechanics into language that actually sticks.
Akanksha earned her B.S. Honors in Finance from UConn's School of Business and has cleared CFA Levels 1 and 2, both of which test accounting principles extensively — from reading income statements to understanding depreciation methods and inventory valuation. She breaks down debits, credits, and journal entries in a way that connects the mechanics to what the numbers actually mean for a business.
Few tutors can teach accounting from both the academic and professional side the way Stephen can. A Notre Dame accounting graduate who spent over twenty years at PwC — including seven-plus as a partner — he walks students through debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement analysis with the authority of someone who's prepared and reviewed these documents for Fortune-level clients.
Debits and credits make intuitive sense once someone explains the logic behind the accounting equation instead of just drilling T-account rules. Shivam is earning his BBA in Accounting at UGA, which means he's currently immersed in the same material — journal entries, adjusting entries, financial statement preparation — and can explain it in the language students actually use. That proximity to the coursework keeps his explanations grounded and current.
Debits, credits, and the accounting equation can feel like arbitrary rules until someone explains the logic underneath the ledger. Jared, currently studying information systems at BYU with a business focus, walks through journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement preparation by tying each step back to what the numbers actually represent. He's rated 4.9 across his subjects.
Interning at two major accounting firms — CLA and Forvis — gave Aubriana hands-on experience with audit procedures and tax preparation that most tutors can only reference from a textbook. She breaks down journal entries, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle by connecting each concept to how real firms actually use them. Rated 5.0 by students.
NYU Stern's finance and management curriculum gave Mat a working fluency with financial statements, journal entries, and the accounting cycle that underpins every business decision. He walks students through debits and credits, balance sheet reconciliation, and income statement analysis by tying each concept back to what the numbers actually mean for a company's health.
