Certified Accounting Tutor
Peter
MS Ohio State • BA Syracuse University
1+ Years Tutoring

Peter's background is in education and journalism rather than finance, but his Masters in Education means he knows how to break down unfamiliar systems into learnable steps — and accounting is fundamentally a system of rules and logic. He approaches topics like the accounting equation and basic transaction recording the way a skilled teacher would: building each concept sequentially so students understand the structure before tackling the details.

Maya
BA Lebanese American University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent Accounting graduate with strong passion and work ethics. Highly enthusiastic and excited to put my knowledge, experience and skills to good practice. I graduated from the Lebanese American University with High Distinction, was part of the university's Honors Program, and a lifetime member of the international honor society Beta Gamma Sigma. When I was pursuing my degree, I was chosen by my Accounting Professor to tutor accounting courses such as Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting at the Learning Center of the university. I tutored a single and a group of students who had difficulties in their accounting courses. Having the experience of tutoring physically and virtually, helped me develop various ways of teaching that help students understand different concepts. Also, being responsible of a group of kids aged 4 to 12, helped me deliver various messages in new ways as well as learn how to be patient. I aim on transmitting my knowledge and passion I have for accounting to the students, so that they can also be introduced to the real world of accounting and grow by learning. I'm willing to give all I have to encourage students to improve and become ready for their journey of success.

Anna
BA Oklahoma City University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorite subject by far is math, specifically calculus. Math is a subject almost universally hated, and I believe that is mainly due to the narrow way in which it is taught. I have ADHD, and I often don't understand things the first time they are explained to me, meaning over the years I have had to figure out different ways of looking at information. Oftentimes, all a student needs is for something to be explained in a different way, and I love watching people finally understand a concept. Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with understanding the fundamental concepts behind debits and credits, journal entries, and the accounting equation—not just memorizing the mechanics. Others find it difficult to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, or they fall behind when topics build quickly (like moving from basic entries to financial statements). Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify exactly where understanding breaks down and rebuilds that foundation before moving forward.

Your first session focuses on assessment and goal-setting. A tutor will review your current coursework, identify specific areas of confusion, and understand what you're working toward—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the CPA exam, or mastering a particular accounting software. From there, tutors create a personalized plan that targets your exact needs and learning pace.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand both foundational accounting principles and how they're taught across Ohio schools. Whether you're in introductory accounting, advanced courses, or working toward business certifications, tutors tailor instruction to match your school's expectations and pacing. This ensures you're learning concepts the way your teacher presents them while getting the extra clarity and practice you need.

In a classroom of 14+ students, it's easy to fall behind or move past a confusing concept before it clicks. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets you work at your own pace, ask questions without hesitation, and get immediate feedback on practice problems. Tutors can also focus on your specific weak spots—whether that's financial statement analysis, cost accounting, or tax concepts—rather than covering everything at the same pace for everyone.

Many students see noticeable improvement in understanding and grades within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when they're addressing specific gaps. However, accounting is cumulative—strong foundational skills in debits, credits, and the accounting cycle lead to faster progress in more advanced topics. Your tutor will set realistic milestones based on where you're starting and what you're working toward.

Tutors work with students across all accounting levels, from introductory high school accounting and business courses to college-level financial accounting, managerial accounting, intermediate accounting, and tax accounting. They also support students preparing for professional certifications like the CPA exam or working with accounting software like QuickBooks. Whatever your accounting goals, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a tutor who specializes in that area.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong accounting backgrounds—many hold degrees in accounting, finance, or business, and many have professional experience or certifications like CPA or CMA. All tutors are vetted for expertise and teaching ability, ensuring you're learning from someone who not only knows accounting but can explain it clearly.

Getting started is simple—tell Varsity Tutors about your accounting goals, current level, and availability. You'll be matched with a tutor who fits your needs, and you can schedule your first session at a time that works for you. Most students find it helpful to start with a session focused on assessment so the tutor can understand your specific challenges and create a personalized plan.
