Peter
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with foundational concepts like debits and credits, journal entries, and the accounting equation—especially when classroom instruction moves quickly through multiple topics. With an average student-teacher ratio of 19.7:1 across Columbus schools, it's easy to fall behind if you need extra clarification.

A tutor will assess which accounting concepts need the most attention and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
