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.

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.
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.
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
The CPA exam consists of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Each section tests deep knowledge of accounting principles, tax law, and professional standards. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you focus on your weakest areas rather than spending time on concepts you've already mastered, which is especially valuable given the exam's breadth and complexity.
Many candidates struggle with time management—balancing study with work and other responsibilities—and with the sheer volume of material across all four sections. The FAR and AUD sections are particularly challenging because they require both conceptual understanding and the ability to apply knowledge to complex scenarios. Tutors can help you develop a realistic study schedule, break down difficult topics into manageable pieces, and practice test-taking strategies that improve both speed and accuracy.
In a classroom or self-study setting, you move at a fixed pace regardless of your understanding, which can leave gaps in foundational knowledge. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt to your learning style, spend extra time on topics that challenge you, and provide immediate feedback on practice problems and simulations. This targeted approach helps you identify and fix weak areas before test day, rather than discovering them during the actual exam.
Most candidates benefit from focusing on one section at a time to build deep mastery rather than spreading themselves thin. FAR is typically tackled first since it's the foundation for understanding other sections. Tutors can help you create a personalized study sequence based on your background, strengths, and timeline—for example, someone with a strong tax background might tackle REG earlier, while others might prioritize AUD or BEC based on their career goals.
National CPA exam pass rates typically range from 45-55% per section, meaning most candidates need multiple attempts to pass all four sections. The key to improving your odds is consistent, focused study with high-quality practice materials and regular feedback on your performance. Tutors help you identify patterns in your mistakes, strengthen conceptual understanding, and develop test-taking strategies that maximize your score on exam day.
While an accounting degree or significant work experience helps, many candidates without formal accounting backgrounds successfully pass the CPA exam with dedicated study and expert guidance. If you're starting from scratch, tutors can help you build foundational knowledge in accounting principles, financial reporting, and tax law before diving into exam-specific material. This personalized approach ensures you understand the 'why' behind concepts, not just memorize facts.
Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, though the timeline varies based on your accounting background and how much time you can dedicate weekly. For someone studying 10-15 hours per week, expect 6-9 months of preparation. Tutors can help you create a realistic timeline based on your current knowledge level and target exam dates, then adjust your study plan as needed based on practice test results.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have extensive CPA exam experience and understand the specific challenges candidates face. When you get matched with a tutor, you'll work 1-on-1 with someone who can tailor instruction to your learning style, focus on your weakest sections, and provide the accountability and feedback that leads to exam success.
