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.

I have been an academic student who has always focused on excelling at whatever I do and giving my 100%. Teaching is my true passion and seeing my students learn and succeed gives me immense joy. Having helped several students over the past 5+ years, I am able to adapt my teaching style to my students' learning styles and methods. I look forward to helping many more students through the Varsity platform. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my passion is in teaching Math, Accounting, and Finance. My education: MBA in Strategic Management + Bachelor's degree in Business (Accounting and Finance).
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.
I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorite subject by far is math, specifically calculus. Math is a subject almost universally hated, and I believe that is mainly due to the narrow way in which it is taught. I have ADHD, and I often don't understand things the first time they are explained to me, meaning over the years I have had to figure out different ways of looking at information. Oftentimes, all a student needs is for something to be explained in a different way, and I love watching people finally understand a concept. Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn.
Debits, credits, and the accounting equation can feel like arbitrary rules until someone explains the logic underneath. Nadine breaks down journal entries, T-accounts, and financial statement preparation by connecting each step back to what the numbers actually represent about a business's health. Her economics background gives her a big-picture perspective that makes topics like depreciation methods and adjusting entries easier to internalize.
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.
Gerard's MBA coursework covered the financial reporting and analysis side of business, giving him a practical lens on topics like income statements, cost behavior, and managerial accounting decisions. He teaches accounting as a decision-making tool — connecting ledger work back to the business questions it's designed to answer, which keeps the material from feeling like rote number-shuffling.
Interning at two major accounting firms — CLA and Forvis — gave Aubriana hands-on experience with audit procedures and tax preparation that most tutors can only reference from a textbook. She breaks down journal entries, T-accounts, and the full accounting cycle by connecting each concept to how real firms actually use them. Rated 5.0 by students.
As a finance student at the University of Connecticut, Austin works with accounting concepts from the user's side — he's learning how financial statements inform investment analysis, lending decisions, and corporate strategy. That vantage point shapes how he teaches the nuts and bolts of debits, credits, and the accounting cycle, grounding each entry in the business logic it ultimately serves.
Currently in his second semester at UGA's Tull School of Accounting and planning to pursue a Master of Accountancy, Ian is deep in the material that introductory accounting students are just encountering. He tackles the concepts that tend to confuse beginners — journal entries, T-accounts, adjusting entries, and the logic behind debits and credits — with the perspective of someone who recently learned to think like an accountant.
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.
Debits and credits follow a logic that, once internalized, makes everything from journal entries to financial statement preparation feel systematic rather than arbitrary. Hari teaches across financial, managerial, and cost accounting, and his finance MBA means he connects each ledger entry to the bigger picture of how businesses actually use accounting data to make decisions.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students struggle with foundational concepts like the accounting equation, journal entries, and understanding how debits and credits work together. Others find it difficult to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications, or they fall behind when classroom instruction moves quickly through multiple topics. With Seattle's average student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1, personalized attention to these specific gaps can make a significant difference in building confidence and mastery.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current skill level, learning goals, and any specific challenges you're facing—whether that's preparing for the CPA exam, mastering financial statement analysis, or catching up in a high school accounting class. Tutors will assess your knowledge of foundational concepts and discuss your timeline and expectations. This foundation allows for creating a customized learning plan tailored to your needs.
In a classroom setting, instruction moves at a fixed pace regardless of individual understanding, which can leave gaps in foundational knowledge. Personalized tutoring allows you to spend as much time as needed on challenging concepts like consolidations, tax accounting, or audit procedures, and tutors can explain concepts using examples relevant to your specific situation. This targeted approach helps you build genuine understanding rather than just memorizing formulas.

Many students see noticeable improvement within 3-4 sessions as they develop clarity on foundational concepts and problem-solving strategies.

The timeline depends on your starting point, the complexity of topics you're tackling, and how frequently you meet with your tutor.
