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 helps candidates prepare 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). Whether you're a recent accounting graduate or a working professional, personalized 1-on-1 instruction can help you master complex concepts, develop test-taking strategies, and pass each section on your first attempt.
The CPA exam has four sections that can be taken in any order, each lasting 4 hours and testing different accounting competencies. FAR is typically considered the most challenging section, covering financial reporting standards and consolidations. A tutor can help you prioritize which sections to tackle first based on your background and strengths, create a study timeline that works with your schedule, and provide targeted practice on high-weight topics like revenue recognition and lease accounting.
Many candidates struggle with the sheer volume of material—the CPA exam covers hundreds of topics across accounting standards, tax law, and auditing procedures. Others find the multiple-choice and task-based simulations require a different study approach than traditional accounting coursework. Personalized instruction helps you identify your specific weak areas, learn efficient study techniques, and practice with realistic exam-format questions so you're prepared for test day.
Your first session typically includes an assessment of your accounting knowledge, review of your study goals and timeline, and discussion of which exam section you want to tackle first. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who will create a personalized study plan based on your background, identify content gaps, and establish a regular schedule that fits your work and life commitments. This foundation ensures every session moves you closer to passing.
While study groups and self-paced courses have value, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to adapt explanations to your learning style, focus on your specific weak areas, and provide immediate feedback on practice problems. A tutor can also help you understand why you're making mistakes on simulations, teach you time-management strategies for the exam, and adjust the pace based on your progress—something a pre-recorded course can't do.
Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and how much time you can dedicate weekly. Many full-time workers study for 6-12 months while balancing their jobs, while recent graduates may compress their timeline to 3-4 months. A tutor helps you create a realistic schedule, track your progress, and adjust your study plan if you're falling behind or ready to move faster.
Ideal CPA tutors hold an active CPA license, have passed all four exam sections, and understand current accounting standards and tax law. They should also have experience teaching the material to candidates at different levels and be familiar with the specific exam format and question types. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you're matched with expert tutors who meet these criteria and can teach in a way that clicks with your learning style.
The AICPA reports that overall CPA exam pass rates hover around 50% per section, meaning most candidates need multiple attempts. However, candidates who study consistently with a structured plan and get targeted feedback on their weak areas significantly improve their chances. Personalized tutoring helps you avoid common study mistakes, master high-weight topics, and build the confidence needed to perform well on exam day.
