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 by covering the four main sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Tutors work with you on complex topics like consolidations, lease accounting, tax strategies, and audit procedures, breaking down challenging concepts so they stick. Whether you're struggling with a specific section or need comprehensive exam prep, personalized instruction targets your exact knowledge gaps.
The CPA exam tests both technical knowledge and application skills across four demanding sections, with a passing score of 75 required on each. Many candidates struggle because the exam requires integrating concepts across multiple areas—for example, understanding how tax implications affect financial reporting or how audit procedures connect to attestation standards. Personalized tutoring helps you see these connections and develop the strategic thinking needed to tackle complex, multi-part questions rather than just memorizing isolated facts.
Your first session focuses on understanding your background, current study progress, and specific weak areas. The tutor will assess which CPA sections you're tackling, review your study materials, and identify where you're losing points—whether it's conceptual understanding, time management on practice exams, or test anxiety. From there, you'll create a targeted study plan that prioritizes high-impact topics and builds toward your exam date.
Study groups and review courses move at a fixed pace, but personalized tutoring adapts to your learning speed and style. A tutor can spend extra time on FAR consolidations if that's your weakness, skip topics you've mastered, and use teaching methods that work best for you—whether that's working through practice problems, explaining theory visually, or discussing real-world applications. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and higher confidence going into exam day.
Most candidates need 300–400 hours of study across all four sections, though your timeline depends on your accounting background and how much time you can dedicate weekly. With personalized tutoring, you're using study time more efficiently by focusing on areas where you actually need help rather than reviewing material you already know. Many students see meaningful score improvements within 4–8 weeks of consistent tutoring, though your specific timeline will be discussed during your first session.
FAR (Financial Accounting and Reporting) is often the toughest section because it covers the broadest range of topics—from revenue recognition to consolidations to government accounting. Many candidates also struggle with time management on the exam, which includes simulations that require applying knowledge to realistic scenarios. Tutors help you build both deep understanding of tricky topics and test-taking strategies, like how to approach simulations efficiently and when to flag and move on from difficult questions.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors for students in Raleigh who specialize in CPA exam prep. You can specify which section you need help with, your target exam date, and your preferred study approach, and you'll be matched with a tutor who fits your needs. Tutors bring real accounting experience and deep knowledge of the exam, so you're learning from professionals who understand both the material and the testing format.
Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience level and your specific needs, but Varsity Tutors works with you to find options that fit your budget. Many students find that investing in targeted tutoring for their weakest section—or for the final weeks before their exam—delivers strong returns through higher scores and fewer retakes.
