Award-Winning Accounting Tutors
serving Knoxville, TN

Matthew's MBA and JD training both required reading and interpreting financial statements — revenue recognition, expense classification, balance sheet structure — which means he learned accounting as a tool for making business and legal arguments, not just as an academic exercise. He teaches the accounting cycle by connecting each entry to the decision it ultimately informs, whether that's a manager evaluating profitability or an attorney reviewing a company's financials.

I am a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University where I received a BS in Human and Organizational Development. I also minored in Quantitative Methods and have a passion for statistics. I have spent time living in France and England and love to travel. My time abroad has cultivated a love of language and writing and how to use academic tools in order to create opportunities in life beyond the classroom. I am excited about helping students achieve their academic and personal goals.

I am a senior at Vanderbilt University, studying Cognitive Studies and Business. I am working towards becoming a therapist and I love working with students especially through academic struggles. I used Varsity Tutors throughout high school myself and it made a significant difference to my SAT score. From that experience, I am inspired to help other students reach their academic goals, just like I reached mine! I specialize in SAT prep, AP Literature and AP Language, elementary to college level Mandarin.

I am currently doing a PhD in Economics from Vanderbilt University, and have a lot of experience teaching economics and math. I also have a master's degree in Public Policy from the University of Maryland. I live in Nashville with my family. When I'm not studying, I enjoy swimming, reading, chess, skating and chilling.

I am committed to helping students reach their full potential.

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

I am a graduate of Arizona State University where I earned my Masters in Emergency Management/Homeland Security and my Bachelors in Psychology. I love working with students and watching their passion grow for learning as they start to understand new concepts. I have experience in building individual lesson plans, as well as experience teaching in a classroom. I am excited to get to know you and help you on the road to academic success!

I'm also a pretty outdoorsy guy, so one of my favorite things to do is to go out to a rock climbing site with some friends and do some rock climbing there or go off road and just go nature exploring. I also like having abstract conversations amongst topics like philosophical ethics, morality, and what is consciousness.

I am a motivated and enthusiastic tutor with over 20 years of experience in tutoring students of all different ages. I have served as everything from a full-time classroom teacher, to a small group mentor, to a one-on-one tutor. I have mentored virtually every age learner, from Pre-K to adult, and have experience with everything from home-education to private and parochial schools to public school education.

I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.

As a paid accounting tutor at Babson College, Bradley spends his weeks untangling the journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement relationships that trip students up in introductory and intermediate courses. He's especially sharp at explaining the logic behind debits and credits so that the rules stop feeling arbitrary. Students who need help connecting the accounting cycle from trial balance through closing entries will find he knows the material cold.

Nearly twenty years as a licensed CPA — spanning public practice, manufacturing, banking, and nonprofit work — means Sharon has seen the full accounting cycle play out in wildly different contexts. She unpacks debits, credits, journal entries, and financial statement preparation by connecting textbook rules to how transactions actually move through a real organization. Rated 5.0 by students.

Most of Emina's teaching load sits in math, writing, and SAT prep — but her state teaching certification and business coursework mean she can break down the accounting cycle with the structured, step-by-step clarity of someone trained to teach systematically. She connects each ledger entry and financial statement line item back to the quantitative reasoning her students already use in algebra and statistics, which makes the logic of double-entry bookkeeping feel less foreign.

Alan has lived accounting from both sides — teaching it as a college adjunct and practicing it as a controller and CFO for multiple midsized companies. He unpacks debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement preparation by tying each concept back to what actually happens inside a business. Rated 4.9 by students.

NYU Stern's finance and management curriculum gave Mat a working fluency with financial statements, journal entries, and the accounting cycle that underpins every business decision. He walks students through debits and credits, balance sheet reconciliation, and income statement analysis by tying each concept back to what the numbers actually mean for a company's health.

Debits and credits stop being confusing once someone walks you through the logic behind the accounting equation rather than just drilling journal entries. George's B.S. in Business Administration from UNC Chapel Hill gave him deep exposure to financial statements, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, and he explains adjusting entries and closing processes in plain language that clicks.

Debits, credits, and journal entries click faster when you understand what they actually represent about a business. Max's finance degree from Ohio State included rigorous accounting coursework, and his incoming investment banking role means he uses financial statements as everyday working tools — not abstract exercises.

Debits, credits, and journal entries click faster when the underlying logic is clear — Professor Florence teaches accounting by connecting each transaction to the financial statements it ultimately affects. Her MBA from USC and years teaching at multiple universities mean she can bridge the gap between textbook exercises and how real businesses track their money.

Maria's Applied Mathematics and Business Economics degree at UCLA means she approaches accounting problems the way they're designed to be solved — quantitatively, with the math driving the logic of each ledger entry. She tackles topics like cost behavior, break-even analysis, and managerial accounting by tying the numbers back to the economic decisions businesses actually face.

Tony holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting, which means he can dig into topics like adjusting entries, depreciation methods, and financial statement analysis with real depth. He breaks down the logic behind debits and credits so the accounting equation stops feeling like arbitrary rules and starts making intuitive sense.

Jack's economics degree from Northwestern means he understands how financial data drives business decisions — accounting is the system that produces that data. He teaches the mechanics of the accounting cycle by anchoring each journal entry and ledger posting to the economic reality it represents, so the process feels purposeful rather than procedural. Rated 5.0 by students.

Debits and credits confuse almost everyone at first because the logic feels backward until the balance sheet clicks as a complete system. Shih, a finance major and state-certified teacher from UGA, unpacks the accounting equation by building each journal entry from the transaction's economic reality — making adjusting entries, depreciation schedules, and financial statement preparation far more intuitive.
