Patrick is finishing his accounting degree at the University of Pittsburgh, which means he's knee-deep in the same textbooks and problem sets his students are working through — from financial accounting through intermediate and cost accounting. That real-time familiarity with the material lets him pinpoint exactly where concepts like multi-step income statements or adjusting entries tend to break down and explain them in plain terms. Rated 4.7 by students.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with understanding the fundamental concept of debits and credits, which forms the foundation for all accounting work. Other common challenges include mastering journal entries, reconciling accounts, understanding financial statements, and applying accounting principles to real-world scenarios. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps address these specific gaps by breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps and providing immediate feedback on problem-solving approaches.
In a classroom with Pittsburgh's average student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, it's difficult for teachers to address each student's unique learning pace and specific problem areas. Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your accounting needs, whether that's strengthening foundational skills like the accounting equation or preparing for advanced topics like consolidations and variance analysis. This individualized approach means you get targeted practice on exactly what you need, rather than moving through material at a fixed pace.
Accounting curricula typically progress from foundational concepts like the accounting cycle and financial statements in introductory courses, to more advanced topics like managerial accounting, cost accounting, and auditing in higher-level classes. High school accounting courses focus on basic bookkeeping and financial reporting, while college-level courses dive into specialized areas. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand these curriculum standards and can help you master concepts at your current level, whether you're in high school accounting or pursuing college-level coursework.
During your first session, a tutor will assess your current understanding of accounting fundamentals, identify specific areas where you're struggling, and learn about your learning style and goals. This might involve reviewing recent assignments, discussing concepts you find confusing, or working through practice problems together. From there, the tutor creates a personalized plan to address your needs—whether that's building confidence with journal entries, preparing for an exam, or tackling more advanced accounting topics.
Many students see noticeable improvement in their understanding and grades within 2-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when focusing on specific problem areas. However, accounting mastery is cumulative—strong foundational skills in the accounting cycle and financial statements take time to solidify. With regular personalized instruction and practice, students typically gain the confidence and competency needed to tackle more complex accounting problems and perform better on tests and assignments.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in accounting, whether through degrees in accounting or finance, professional certifications like CPA or CMA, or extensive experience teaching the subject. Expert tutors understand not just the technical rules of accounting, but how to explain complex concepts clearly and help students develop problem-solving skills. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can effectively teach accounting at the level you need.
Tutoring can support you across many accounting needs: strengthening foundational skills like debits and credits, preparing for tests and exams, completing homework assignments, understanding specific topics like financial analysis or tax accounting, or preparing for the CPA exam if you're pursuing professional certification. Whether you need ongoing support throughout a course or targeted help with a specific unit, personalized instruction can be customized to fit your goals and timeline.
Varsity Tutors makes it easy to connect with an expert tutor—simply tell us about your accounting needs, your current level, and your goals, and we'll match you with a qualified tutor who fits your learning style. You can start with an initial session to make sure it's a good fit, and from there schedule regular sessions that work with your schedule. The process is straightforward, and you'll have a dedicated tutor focused on helping you succeed in accounting.
