Good Understanding of Financial Statements

It helped me understand the main Financial Statements for my Finacial Accounting class. He also provided excellent resources for further study and examples. I will use him again. He is also very respectful and patient, and encouraging.

Roderick, 2 lessons with Alan

Knowledgeable and Thorough Tutor

I was having difficulty with the presentation and layout of a tough bank reconciliation. Alan was extremely thorough and explained what I was doing wrong in an understandable manner. Alan also made recommendations which improved the effectiveness and layout of the bank reconciliation. Now, any reader of this spreadsheet can make sense of the data being presented! He also was kind enough to recommend a book specifically written for my industry, which was an added bonus to our session! Overall, I highly recommend Alan as a tutor! He is a patient tutor, and learning from Alan was priceless.

Antonio, 1 lesson with Alan

Very willing to help

Alan took the time to research my educational plan and try to advise me on the best classes to take before transferring, which was a big help. He is also very versed in the tax world.

Casey, 1 lesson with Alan

Perfect Tutor for QB

Alan is very kind and patient. He helped me to study for a job interview test. I signed up for two lessons and I ended up with four and a half more. He is really good and I can tell that he has a lot of experience. Also, he was very flexible with schedule. He did the lessons with a short noticed and the communication with him was great. He gets back real quick the messages. Don't hesitate to sign up for one of his lessons!

Meli, 3 lessons with Alan

Patient and thorough tutor

Alan extended our time together to go over the basics in accounting for my real estate businesses. What he didn’t know he quickly looked up and sent reference guides. We’ve set up another session to go to urgent. He’s well worth the investment!

Susan, 2 lessons with Alan

On point

Financial accounting 101. Made materials for me to understand in Depth. The more you spent time with him should have a clear understanding of the material. I highly recommend his tutoring or even hire him as well

Anonymous, 2 lessons with Alan

Helpful and knowledgeable.

Alan brought up new ideas to help me that I never would have discovered! His experience and patience with a Newby to accounting disciplines was a gift to me. I have been working on a project for a year and he was able to point me in the right direction quickly.

Don, 3 lessons with Alan

Knowlagelbe person, patient and know what he is doing

I like that he is patient, knows what he is doing, and explain the best way to understand and guide the student the best way, the only sad thing is he can help more, but there are rules, with the Income Taxes, there is a lot of Forms and understanding all of them the company need to let them do a little beat more to help the student, so we can continue calling or set up another appointment

Honoria, 4 lessons with Alan
