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!

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'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.
Debits, credits, and journal entries follow strict logical rules, but most introductory courses move too fast for students to internalize the why behind each entry. Rahi approaches accounting the way an engineer approaches a system — tracing how every transaction flows through the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement so the structure clicks.
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, credits, and journal entries click faster when you understand the logic behind double-entry bookkeeping instead of treating it as rote procedure. Benjamin earned his Finance and Economics degree from Notre Dame, where accounting coursework was central to his business training. He breaks down the balance sheet equation and walks through adjusting entries in a way that makes the full accounting cycle feel intuitive.
Debits, credits, and T-accounts click faster when a student understands the logic behind double-entry bookkeeping instead of just memorizing rules. Rae's economics degree gave her a strong quantitative foundation, and she applies that analytical approach to topics like adjusting entries, financial statement preparation, and the accounting cycle.
Few tutors can teach accounting from both the academic and professional side the way Stephen can. A Notre Dame accounting graduate who spent over twenty years at PwC — including seven-plus as a partner — he walks students through debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement analysis with the authority of someone who's prepared and reviewed these documents for Fortune-level clients.
Debits and credits make intuitive sense once someone explains the logic behind the accounting equation instead of just drilling T-account rules. Shivam is earning his BBA in Accounting at UGA, which means he's currently immersed in the same material — journal entries, adjusting entries, financial statement preparation — and can explain it in the language students actually use. That proximity to the coursework keeps his explanations grounded and current.
Debits, credits, and the accounting equation can feel like arbitrary rules until someone explains the logic underneath the ledger. Jared, currently studying information systems at BYU with a business focus, walks through journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement preparation by tying each step back to what the numbers actually represent. He's rated 4.9 across his subjects.
Akanksha earned her B.S. Honors in Finance from UConn's School of Business and has cleared CFA Levels 1 and 2, both of which test accounting principles extensively — from reading income statements to understanding depreciation methods and inventory valuation. She breaks down debits, credits, and journal entries in a way that connects the mechanics to what the numbers actually mean for a business.
From introductory journal entries to complex topics like depreciation methods and bank reconciliations, Jonathan covers the full spectrum of accounting fundamentals. He scored above 90 on every section of the CPA exam (FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) and spent time as a graduate TA breaking down the same concepts he now teaches one-on-one.
Holding a diploma in accounting on top of his economics degree, Stuart brings both the theoretical framework and the practical detail that financial and managerial accounting courses demand. He digs into journal entries, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle, making sure students understand why debits and credits balance — not just that they do.
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.
Most people treat accounting as a set of rules to follow, but Clark's MBA in Accounting and Financial Management taught him it's really the language every business decision gets filtered through. He digs into topics like accrual vs. cash-basis reporting, closing entries, and variance analysis by tying each concept back to the managerial choices it informs — so the ledger work feels like storytelling, not busywork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often struggle with understanding the fundamental concepts behind journal entries, the accounting equation, and how debits and credits work together. Many also find it challenging to connect theoretical principles to real-world applications, especially when dealing with complex transactions, financial statement preparation, and reconciliation processes. Personalized tutoring helps break down these concepts step-by-step, allowing students to ask questions and work through problems at their own pace until the material clicks.
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. Whether you're working on basic bookkeeping, preparing for the CPA exam, or mastering advanced topics like consolidations, the tutor will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session builds on your strengths and directly addresses your weaknesses.
In a classroom setting with an 18.2:1 student-teacher ratio, it's difficult for instructors to address each student's unique learning pace and specific problem areas. Personalized tutoring provides one-on-one instruction where a tutor can slow down on confusing topics, use examples relevant to your situation, and adjust teaching methods to match how you learn best. This focused approach typically leads to faster comprehension and stronger mastery of accounting principles.
Tutors working with students in Memphis are familiar with the Tennessee accounting standards and the specific curricula used across local school districts. Whether you're taking introductory accounting, advanced accounting, or AP Accounting courses, tutors can align their instruction with what you're learning in class, help you understand assignments, and prepare you for exams. They can also provide supplemental practice with real-world scenarios that reinforce classroom concepts.
Through personalized tutoring, you'll develop proficiency in core skills like recording transactions, posting to ledgers, preparing trial balances, creating financial statements, and analyzing financial data. You'll also build problem-solving abilities that help you tackle case studies and complex accounting scenarios. These practical skills not only improve your grades but also prepare you for success in higher-level accounting courses, certification exams, or entry-level accounting positions.
Tutors can support students across all accounting levels, from foundational high school accounting courses covering the accounting cycle and basic financial statements, to advanced topics like cost accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, and tax accounting. They can also help students preparing for the CPA exam, CMA certification, or college-level accounting courses. No matter where you are in your accounting journey, personalized instruction can help you build confidence and competency.
Measurable improvements in accounting typically show up as higher grades on quizzes and exams, better understanding of homework assignments, and increased confidence when tackling new problems. You might also notice improvements in your ability to explain accounting concepts in your own words, spot errors in financial statements, or apply accounting principles to unfamiliar scenarios. Your tutor will track progress regularly and adjust the tutoring plan to ensure you're meeting your specific goals.
