Excellent help for getting through the Financial Accounting beast!

I am in the Duke Fuqua EMBA program, and have had a very difficult transition into Financial Accounting. Mike has been wonderful helping me gain the understanding I needed to be successful - and survive what I consider the hardest class I have ever taken. His knowledge of accounting is fantastic, and I really feel like I have a strong understanding of the subject after spending several tutoring sessions with him. He is always available and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you 'get it.' I wholeheartedly recommend Mike for anyone taking an accounting course. In fact, if I have difficulty with my next course (Managerial Accounting) you can bet I will give him a call again.

Expert Advice

Michael really helped me with my Accounting coursework. His accounting knowledge is expansive and he is singlehandedly helping me through the struggle of learning excel. He gets right to work and to the heart of the problem in no time and I feel confident that I'll be able to pass my course after working with him. I highly recommend him as a tutor!

Super knowledgeable and patient!

Michael has been amazing helping my son nail down the concepts for his upcoming managerial accounting midterm. So lucky we found him! He has been incredibly flexible with timing of each session and has helped my son (who has always been “tutor averse”) gain confidence in a subject that is difficult for him.

As a student at Elon University, having the assistance of Michael has been extremely useful as he was an Elon accounting student as well. Michael is extremely kind and well spoken, making it incredibly easy to understand the review problems if helps me with. If you are looking for someone with a ton of flexibility and experience, Michael is the man for you!
