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.

Two master's degrees in accountancy — one with a taxation concentration from Notre Dame — give Steven a depth in this subject that few tutors can match. He digs into journal entries, financial statement preparation, and the logic behind GAAP principles so that students understand the "why" driving each debit and credit. Rated 4.8 by students.
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'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.
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.
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. Whether the challenge is managerial accounting, cost allocation, or preparing for an intermediate exam, she connects each concept back to how businesses actually use the numbers.
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.
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.
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.
Sami's economics degree from Duke and real-world experience at both a management consulting firm and a Fortune 500 company mean he understands how accounting concepts like accrual methods, journal entries, and financial statement analysis play out beyond the textbook. Now pursuing his MBA at Yale, he connects debits and credits to the bigger strategic picture that makes the material click.
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.
Jonathan is a CPA and CFA Level III candidate who has lived the full arc of accounting — from introductory journal entries through complex consolidations and SEC reporting standards. He breaks down topics like accrual adjustments, depreciation methods, and statement analysis by connecting each entry to its real-world business impact. Rated 4.9 by students.
