Private CPA Test Prep
Private CPA Coaching
I’m a CPA and an expert in accounting. I have over 25 years of business experience and have served as a CFO and Controller following early career experience in public accounting. I pride myself on being clear and to the point. I not only know how to do but I know how to teach. I have mentored colleagues and taught accounting to laymen who wanted to get a better understanding of the subject. I tutor undergraduate and graduate students as well as working adults in all sections of the CPA Exam. I also help working adults who need help to better perform in their jobs. Finally, I have tutored the children of friends in accounting and math subjects. I enjoy teaching and helping others to succeed.
How does your CPA tutoring process work, and how is it structured?
I start by assessing the student’s current level of understanding in key CPA exam areas like Financial Accounting, Auditing, Regulation, and Business Environment. Then, I create a customized study plan based on their strengths, weaknesses, and the CPA exam timeline. Each session focuses on a mix of conceptual understanding, practical application, and test-taking strategies. I also provide practice questions, mock exams, and regular feedback to track progress.
How long does it typically take for a student to be ready for the CPA exam?
It varies depending on the student’s background, commitment, and study habits. Typically, students need between 3 to 4 hours of dedicated study time per section. If we meet consistently and they follow the study plan, most students can be ready within six to nine months for all four sections. However, I adjust pacing based on each student’s needs.
What qualifications or experience do you have in CPA tutoring?
I am a licensed CPA with several years of industry experience, and I have successfully tutored students preparing for the CPA exam. In addition to my CPA license, I stay up-to-date with any changes in exam content and use various CPA review materials to ensure I provide current and comprehensive instruction.
How do you handle difficult topics or areas where my child might struggle?
If a student struggles with a specific topic, I use a variety of teaching methods to ensure understanding, including real-world examples, interactive problem-solving, and visual aids. I break down complex concepts into simpler steps and provide extra practice materials. I’m very patient and encourage questions, creating a safe space for students to fully grasp each topic.
How do you track and measure progress?
I track progress through regular quizzes, mock exams, and concept reviews after each topic. At the end of each session, I summarize what was covered and any areas that need further work. I also provide parents with regular updates on their child’s strengths, improvements, and areas requiring more focus.
What is your approach to CPA exam preparation outside of tutoring sessions?
I encourage students to dedicate a set amount of daily study time outside of tutoring sessions, following our structured plan. I provide additional practice questions and materials that they can review independently. I also teach effective time management, test-taking strategies, and stress-management techniques to ensure they are prepared for exam day.
How do you tailor your teaching style to fit my child’s learning preferences?
I take time to understand each student’s preferred learning style, whether they are more visual, auditory, or hands-on learners. I then adapt my teaching approach, using visual aids, discussions, or practical exercises as needed. Flexibility is key, so I continuously adapt to ensure the tutoring sessions are both engaging and effective for the student.
