Personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's consolidations, lease accounting, or tax calculations—rather than covering material at a fixed pace for an entire class. With 1-on-1 instruction, you get customized study strategies, immediate feedback on practice problems, and the ability to spend extra time on challenging concepts without falling behind or moving too slowly.

Many candidates struggle with the volume and complexity of material across all four sections, particularly FAR's technical accounting standards and REG's tax code details. Time management is another major hurdle—balancing study with work and other responsibilities while maintaining the focus needed to retain complex information. Personalized tutoring helps by creating structured study plans, breaking down difficult topics into manageable pieces, and keeping you accountable to your goals.

Your first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will discuss your background, which CPA sections you're targeting, your study timeline, and any areas where you're already struggling. Together, you'll establish clear goals, identify your learning style, and create a customized study roadmap that fits your schedule and priorities.

Most candidates spend 300-400 hours studying across all four sections, though this varies based on your accounting background and how much time you can dedicate weekly.
