Sam
MS University of Rhode Island • BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

Holding a Master of Science in Accounting, Sam digs into the logic behind debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statement preparation rather than treating them as rules to memorize. He walks through the full accounting cycle — from trial balance adjustments to closing entries — so students understand how each step feeds the next. That conceptual grounding makes advanced topics like depreciation methods and inventory valuation click faster.

Peter
MS Ohio State • BA Syracuse University
1+ Years Tutoring

Peter's background is in education and journalism rather than finance, but his Masters in Education means he knows how to break down unfamiliar systems into learnable steps — and accounting is fundamentally a system of rules and logic. He approaches topics like the accounting equation and basic transaction recording the way a skilled teacher would: building each concept sequentially so students understand the structure before tackling the details.

Lulu
MS Harvard University • MS The University of Texas at Arlington

Lulu spent an entire career in accounting after completing her master's in the field at UT Arlington, so she teaches debits, credits, journal entries, and financial statements from real-world experience rather than textbook theory alone.

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.

Certified Accounting Tutor
Emina
BA Harvard University
16+ Years Tutoring

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.
