- Kent, Dallas, TX on 2/12/17Brian helped me with my Survey of Accounting course. We worked on an accounting cycle project together. He not only arrived on time but once he arrived we got right to work, focusing on the project and helping me along the way.
Brian adapted very well to the situation I presented him with. I didn't have a way to print the needed information out, yet Brian was undeterred. He taught me as we went through the project giving me real life stories that he had faced as an accountant.

"Brian is a very good Teacher."
- ROSALBA, Irving, TX on 6/2/161.- He makes learning simple and teaches the student from the level where the student is.
2.- He is very organized and keeps a record of his students' progress since the beginning.

"Life is Good Again, Thanks to Brian D!"
- Diane, Flower Mound, TX on 3/5/15Brian D. had the challenge of teaching me about QuickBooks while, at the same time, correcting and improving my novice attempt at using QuickBooks the previous year. He reviewed what I had set up, made suggestions for corrections and improvements, and then guided me through the steps to achieve our goals. He told me when I needed to ask my CPA for guidelines specific to my company; and then, guided me to implement my CPAs response.
At the beginning of each session, we reviewed my questions since the previous session, and he answered every one of them, as well as guided me in correcting my mistakes. At each session, he stayed as long as needed, until I was ready to continue on my own. At the end of each session, he reviewed what we had covered and achieved, and what I would be working on until the next session. Between sessions, I was able to e-mail (or call) him with questions; he would either respond with the answer, or we would handle it at the next session.
By the time I am ready to go 'solo,' I will be able to do so with confidence knowing I'm in control of my company, and that I am providing my CPA with accurate information on time! Life is good again, thanks to Brian D!
"Exceptional teacher and tutor"
- Henry, Dallas, TX on 5/20/14Mr. Brian greatly helped our son with the middle school math that he had not been exposed to at school and advanced to a level that was much higher than expected.

"So happy!"
- Cheri, Mesquite, TX on 1/15/12I found out about WyzAnt at the last minute. I needed a tutor for my son who was taking an accelerated Accounting class on-line and it was giving him the blues. We only had 3 days for him to get ready to take his final. Brian came out and helped my son that SAME NIGHT!! Brian also came back the next two days to help my son. I was very pleased with him, and his willingness to help us at the last minute. My son said that he was very helpful. Thank you Brian!
"Brilliant Tutor"
- Jeffrey, Carrollton, TX on 10/23/11I booked two hours with Brian for my daughter, a college student at A&M, and after 45 min she asked if she could have an extra "3rd" hour, "because he is so smart and I am learning". Brian was patient and worked through the basic concepts with her until she understood. Brian's skills are described accurately on this site, although his photo is dated, and we would use him again.
"Hit and Miss"
- Matt, Irving, TX on 7/21/11Brian had days where he knew every single thing about college algebra and was very helpful but there were also concepts that he didn't understand. Sometimes he could look them up in the book and find them out and other times he couldn't figure them out. When he knew what he was doing then there was none better but then a day came when he didn't know the material, he took a very long time and seem to beat around the bush and tried to show me material that was not relevant to the lesson I was working on. Even after bombing a practice test with me and showing up 20 minutes late I learned not a single thing from him that day in yet he still had the nerve to take my money. If you're looking for a college algebra tutor I suggest you look elsewhere.
Matt was offered a refund and declined it. He seemed to have spent little time actually studying; he had questions on most of the problems on his written assignments. His course used ALEKS software. Equations that were easily graphed with a Texas Instruments graphing calculator presented problems in with the ALEKS graphing feature. I referred him to his professor.
"Great tutor."
- Ryan, Flower Mound, TX on 4/8/11Brian is always willing to work around my schedule. He is very prompt. He has helped me alot with accounting.
