Frequently Asked Questions
CPA tutoring prepares candidates for the Uniform CPA Examination, which consists of four sections: Auditing and Attestation (AUD), Business Environment and Concepts (BEC), Financial Accounting and Reporting (FAR), and Regulation (REG). Tutors help you master the technical accounting knowledge, tax concepts, and auditing standards needed to pass each section, plus develop test-taking strategies and time management skills for the computer-based exam.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets you focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's consolidations, tax calculations, or audit procedures—rather than moving through material at a fixed pace. A tutor can adapt explanations to your learning style, answer questions in real time, and create a study plan aligned to your exam timeline and career goals, which classroom courses typically can't offer.
Many candidates struggle with the volume and complexity of material across all four sections, particularly FAR's consolidation and lease accounting topics. Others find it difficult to balance exam prep with work and other responsibilities, or they underestimate the time needed to master simulation-style questions. Personalized tutoring helps you tackle these challenges by breaking content into manageable pieces and building a realistic study schedule that fits your life.
Your first session focuses on understanding your background, goals, and timeline. The tutor will assess which CPA sections you're targeting, review your current knowledge level, identify your strongest and weakest areas, and discuss your exam date and study schedule. This information helps create a personalized roadmap so you can study efficiently and build confidence across all four sections.
Most candidates spend 300–400 hours preparing for the entire four-section exam, though this varies based on your accounting background and target timeline. If you're working full-time, many candidates spread this across 6–12 months. A tutor can help you create a realistic schedule, prioritize high-impact topics, and adjust your plan as you progress through practice exams and simulations.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have deep expertise in accounting, tax, and auditing—many are themselves CPAs or accounting professionals with years of experience. They understand the exam's format and difficulty level, know which concepts trip up candidates most often, and can teach both the technical material and effective test-taking strategies to help you pass.
Pricing for CPA tutoring varies based on the tutor's experience level and your specific needs. You can discuss your budget and goals when you connect with a tutor, and they'll work with you to create a plan that fits your timeline and financial situation. Many candidates find that investing in targeted tutoring for their toughest sections is more cost-effective than paying for a full prep course.
Philadelphia is home to a strong accounting and finance community, with many firms and professional organizations offering networking and study resources. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand the Philadelphia market and can help you prepare for the exam while building professional relationships in the local accounting field.
