I am Weila, an active CPA and EA who has successfully passed all three levels of the CFA exam. I hold a bachelor's degree in Accounting/Finance from one of the Top 10 universities in China and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Accountancy degree. I completed all levels of the CPA and EA exams on my first attempts with high average scores.
As an international student, I faced challenges with language barriers, but this pushed me to gain a deep understanding of the material and apply it effectively in exams. I developed unique methods to simplify complex accounting rules, making them easier to grasp and apply.
With over two years of tutoring experience, my distinct teaching style has attracted many students, helping them successfully pass their CPA, CFA, and EA exams on the first try. I tailor my classes to fit each student’s individual needs. During initial meetings, I prioritize understanding their academic backgrounds and goals to create personalized study plans.
I recognize that exam preparation involves academic readiness and overcoming psychological challenges like demotivation and anxiety. Thus, I offer not just academic support but also accountability, closely monitoring progress and adjusting study plans to ensure students meet their objectives.
If you need additional assistance, I am here to help!

Business school shouldn't just be about buzzwords and bullet points. As a CPA who has passed all three CFA levels, I’ll teach you how top professionals actually think—using finance-backed logic, not fluff. For example, we won't just talk about 'competitive advantage'; we'll find it on the income statement. My sessions are designed to break down any topic—marketing, corporate strategy, operations—into simple, practical frameworks you can use on exams, in case interviews, and in the real world. We'll focus on clarity, application, and insight, so you’re not just memorizing slides, but learning to think like a decision-maker. Whether you're prepping for exams, group projects, or future consulting roles, I’ll help you build the sharp, analytical mindset that sets you apart.
CFA

CFA

I know very well how to prepare and handle the most challenging exams since I passed both the CFA exams with 10A (within the top 10th percentile score of all candidates) and CPA exams (averagely high scores, above 92) in one go. Although there is no short cut to the success, I have my own technique to analyze and resolve the complicated questions, which is proven useful and successful in passing these challenging exams and tutoring my students. The content of CFA exam (especially level one) is very broad and is very hard to memorize, not to mention digesting the content and developing the deep understanding of the complicated concepts within a limited time frame. My unique technique equips my students with skills and test-taking strategies that lead them to the passing score. I will lead my students step by step to understand the concepts in depth, pass the exam, and get well prepared for the real world practice. Since I have solid accounting /finance education background and passed CPA exams with very high score, I demonstrate a deep understanding of financial statement analysis, equities, and Portfolio management, which makes it possible for me to incorporate the related CPA concepts and perspective into the CFA tutoring lessons. By this way I am able to bring my students more benefits than other tutors by showing my students how all the moving parts of the exam work together in harmony. I'm a very responsible tutor. I know how stressful my students are in these exam journeys because I experienced all these by myself. I work with my students not only as an exam tutor, but more likely as a companion. I monitor students' performance on regular basis and discuss with them their progresses and help them to make their personalized strategies, I share my insights into exam technique, test-taking tips, the topics need to spend the most time on, and time management skills to optimize my students' time efficiency, I share with my students my own tips on how to conquer the CFA fears and errors.
CPA

CPA

I am an active CPA with over two years of experience tutoring all CPA exam sections, including the foundational (FAR, AUD, REG) and discipline areas (TCP, BAR, ISC). As a triple-certified instructor (CPA, CFA, and EA), I specialize in helping students bridge the gap between accounting theory and real-world financial application—something especially critical in today’s evolving markets. My teaching method goes beyond memorization: I focus on helping students truly understand the logic behind the rules, how concepts interconnect, and how to apply them under pressure. With a strong track record of 5-star reviews, I provide not only technical clarity but also strategic and motivational support for students navigating this high-stakes exam.
Finance

Finance

I passed all three levels of the CFA exam on my first attempt, scoring in the top 10% globally on Levels I and II. The most surprising part? I accomplished this with a background in Accounting, not traditional Finance. My secret is a unique, logic-driven system I developed to transform complex financial theories into intuitive, actionable knowledge. As a CPA with a Master's in Accountancy, I don't just teach you formulas—I teach you the "why" behind them. Instead of rote memorization, my method focuses on deconstructing complex topics into simple, visual frameworks. We use a "building block" approach that connects every concept, turning abstract ideas into a logical, easy-to-remember story. This is the "accountant's edge"—a structured way of thinking that proved incredibly effective for mastering finance. My goal is to give you more than just answers; I will give you my system. This approach is especially powerful for students who feel overwhelmed, come from a non-finance background, or are simply looking for a smarter, more efficient path to success. You will learn not just what to think, but how to think like a top performer to conquer the exam with confidence.
Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting

With my robust academic background in accounting, coupled with extensive experience in various accounting, finance, and tax roles within multinational corporations (MNCs), I possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this field.  Notably, I successfully passed the CPA exam on my first attempt within a limited timeframe with an outstanding average score above 90.  My key strength lies in swiftly identifying issues and pinpointing problems while working on CPA questions, particularly for TBS. Furthermore, I excel at efficiently designing tailored solutions to cater to students' individual levels and study paces.  Through rigorous preparation required for the CPA exam, I have developed highly effective learning methods of my own. Increasingly, I have been able to assist students in passing their initial attempts at exams such as CPA (FAR/REG/AUD/TCP/BARISC), CFA, EA exams without necessitating the purchase of supplementary prep materials or wasting unnecessary time before reaching their next career milestone.
Macroeconomics

Macroeconomics

To achieve a top 10% score on the CFA exams, I had to master Economics not as a textbook subject, but as the fundamental logic of global finance. I bring that same professional-level insight to you, whether you're tackling your first AP Macroeconomics class or a graduate-level course. My goal is simple: to make Economics intuitive, logical, and easy to ace. Feeling overwhelmed by endless graphs and abstract theories? I’ve been there. As someone who mastered this subject from an accounting background, I developed a unique system to bypass rote memorization. We will transform confusing concepts—from supply and demand to fiscal policy—into simple, visual stories. You won't just study economics; you'll learn to think like an economist. My structured approach is designed for results. For my AP students, the target is a 4 or a 5 on the exam—nothing less. For my college students, we'll conquer challenging coursework and build a deep understanding for your projects. For my fellow professionals and CFA candidates, we will connect theory to real-world application. Whatever your goal, my system provides the clarity and strategy you need to succeed.
MBA

MBA

As an active CPA who passed all three levels of the CFA exam on the first try, I specialize in simplifying core MBA subjects for students from diverse academic backgrounds—engineering, science, the humanities, and beyond. Whether you're looking to demystify the balance sheet, master discounted cash flow, or tackle complex case studies, I break each concept down into logical, intuitive steps that actually stick. With a Master’s in Accountancy (Magna Cum Laude) and a track record of top-rated tutoring, my focus is not just on understanding—but on speed, clarity, and confident application under pressure. My sessions are designed to help you do more than just survive the MBA firehose—they're built to give you a strategic edge and help you stand out at the top of your class.
Microeconomics

Microeconomics

To achieve a top 10% score on the CFA exams, I had to master Economics not as a textbook subject, but as the fundamental logic of global finance. I bring that same professional-level insight to you, whether you're tackling your first AP Microeconomics class or a graduate-level course. My goal is simple: to make Economics intuitive, logical, and easy to ace. Feeling overwhelmed by endless graphs and abstract theories? I’ve been there.

Tax Accounting

Tax Accounting

With my strong academic background in accounting, as well as extensive experience in accounting, finance, and tax roles within multinational corporations (MNCs), I possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise in preparing and advising for both public and private corporations, as well as individual taxpayers. My key strength lies in my ability to quickly identify issues and pinpoint problems during each tax preparation process. Moreover, I excel at efficiently designing customized solutions for various cases related to Corporate Tax Planning, International Corporate Tax Compliance, International Information Reporting, Estate Planning, Individual Education Planning, Individual Retirement Planning, etc. Notably, I passed the IRS–EA exam on my first attempt without utilizing any additional preparatory resources - a feat I also achieved with my CPA and CFA exams. Through the rigorous preparation required for these challenging exams, I have developed my own highly effective learning methods. As a result of successfully assisting numerous clients with their tax issues over time,I have increasingly been able to help students pass their CPA (FAR/REG/AUD/TCP/BARISC), CFA, EA and IRS Tax Volunteering exams on their initial try without requiring them to purchase supplemental prep materials or wasting unnecessary time before achieving their next career milestone.

She is the BEST tutor in the world

She takes the time to explain every detail and uses the tools necessary to make sure the student understands everything. As a teacher, she tracks the students' progress and helps them with patience .

Carmine, 24 lessons with Weila

Super smart and helpful!

Weila is a very helpful and knowledgeable teacher. She helps me with my college federal taxation class. I'm amazed how knowledgeable and sophisticated she is with taxation. She's also very understanding and nice. I always enjoy her classes and look forward to meeting her to learn more taxation and accounting knowledge from her. Highly recommend her classes!

Sandy, 23 lessons with Weila

She really knows her stuff and helps to break it down

She does a good job of breaking the information down to help you think and analyze in a different way. sometimes that's all you need! I would highly recommend!!

Zhuljeta, 3 lessons with Weila

One of the best tutors

I had so many tutors before, but Weila is an outstanding tutor. She is very knowledgeable and smart. She is really good at pointing out key words of a super long paragraph for a FAR question and telling me the exam testing point directly. The way she teaches feels like if I want to buy a small bag of pistachio in a huge supermarket, and she can point out which aisle and which shelf directly. She is able to provide great exam tips, and telling me her thinking process and how she would start to solve the problem. Also, she is really good at explaining complex accounting problems in mandarin with different kinds of metaphors to let students visualize the question. Her Mandarin level is as high as her accounting knowledge level. I highly recommend her to CPA exam takers whose first language is Mandarin and second language is English, and you will improve both accounting and Chinese at the same time!

Patient, Kind, & Knowledgeable Tutor

She is very patient and knowledgeable of all the topics with FAR for the CPA exam. I enjoyed my sessions with her and she truly helped me talk through and understand complex topics while going over the questions I had + asking me new ones I had not been exposed to yet. I would highly recommend her to any looking for a tutor :)

Audette, 2 lessons with Weila

Patient and Helpful

I gained a better understanding of the topic we went over. I was able to work out the problems she gave and when I got stuck, she did not just give the answer, she ask me question so I could think deeper and analyze the problem to know and understand why I it was done.

Student Review

I personally like her. She helps breaks down the material in a way that I wasn't thinking about before. Also, I like the fact when working on a question she'll ask follow up questions to gauge one's understanding of the concept.

Enlil, 14 lessons with Weila

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

`Weila was great. I have been out of college for a little while, so some things it took me little time to be able to recall. She was very patient with me and assisted with some memory tricks.
