Personal Description:
Hello there, my name is Tony, an accounting tutor. Here's the secret...

Most students imagine accounting to be a subject riddled with daunting calculations and demanding a higher form of intelligence. This is not so. In my years of teaching students, I have discovered that most students fail because they study the wrong thing. Look at it this way. To understand the working of a balance sheet [statement of financial position] most students memorise the order in which elements are applied. This is the cardinal sin.

To be a successful student you must understand why we need a balance sheet and what information users of this particular financial statement are looking for. When you look at it from a user perspective [understanding who those users are and what they want] your mind no longer tries to remember what was after what but your mind starts to actually determine what needs to be there to satisfy the users questions regarding a companies affairs.

This way you can forget the specific format but you can always recreate it because you actually understand what is going on and why it is going on. Give me a call, I'll help you see the better side of accounting.

Teaching Experience:
I have 10 years of tutoring students in the UK. I am passionate about what I do and I enjoy helping students.

For online students, I promise you an experience you never thought was possible. You will be able to see my white board/note pad on your computer screen. Every stroke or letter I write will appear on your screen instantly. It will be like we are in the same room. Please give it a try and if you do not like it I will give you a full refund.

Tutoring Approach:
I focus mainly on two aspects; Understanding of the subject and Examination techniques. To achieve this I encourage one to one tutoring although in rare cases I accept groups.

Personal Description:

Learners needs are the core of the teaching and learning environment, I have a pleasant personality and loads of patience to support students in learning and understanding their individual learning styles.
For me teaching is filling the learning gap between what the student's knowledge to what is required in terms of the specification and examination and assessment requirements of the course. I am familiar with all teaching boards to name a few include; Edexcel, AQA, OCR, Welsh and university examinations too.

Teaching Experience:
I have over 12 years of teaching in UK and about 10 years of teaching abroad. I have taught a variety of subjects including: General Science, English, Business Studies, Economics, Marketing, International Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Finance, Managerial Finance, Human Resource Management, Research Methodology, Business and Economics, Business management and many more

Please feel free to contact me any time to discuss these.

Tutoring Approach:
Teaching is my passion. I have a student-centered approach to teaching and believe in tailoring the teaching style to the needs of the student.
I have a proven track record of students showing great success in their exams over the years I have been teaching with 75% achieving grades A and B, and the rest as Cs. I work hard and support students in achieving their best potential.

Headline:
A-Level Accounting & Business Studies & Economics Tutor | ACCA, 15 yrs PQE, B.Ed

About Me:
I am a qualified ACCA qualified Chartered accountant with over 15 years of professional experience and a B.Ed, offering one-to-one tutoring in A-Level Accounting and Business Studies and Economics . I have extensive experience mentoring colleagues at work, and I use the same structured, clear approach to help students succeed.

I specialise in complex, exam-heavy topics where students often lose marks, including cash flow statements, corrections of errors, final accounts with adjustments, partnership accounts, accounting ratios, budgeting, and variance analysis and Economics concepts. My lessons are tailored to student pace and focus on exam technique, understanding, and confidence.

Subjects & Levels:

A-Level Accounting (Year 12 & 13) - AQA & Edexcel

A-Level Business Studies & Economics (Year 12 & 13) - AQA & Edexcel

Teaching Style:

Step-by-step explanations

Exam-focused examples and practice questions

Calm, structured, and supportive

Teaching Experience:
I have extensive experience mentoring and guiding students, both in professional and educational settings. I have also mentored colleagues at work, helping them understand complex accounting and business concepts, apply them in practical situations, and develop confidence in their skills.

More recently, I have transitioned to online tutoring, preparing structured lessons for A-Level Accounting and Business Studies and Economics I focus on high-demand and challenging topics such as cash flow statements, corrections of errors, partnership accounts, final accounts with adjustments, ratios, budgeting, and variance analysis and complex economics concepts.

My online teaching approach is student-focused, calm, and structured. I use step-by-step explanations, worked examples, and exam-style questions. I also tailor lessons to the student's pace and learning style, ensuring they understand concepts deeply rather than memorising.

I have successfully helped students gain confidence, improve their grades, and perform well in exams, all through one-to-one online sessions using video calls, screen sharing, and digital practice materials.

Tutoring Approach:
Student-Centered & Individualized
I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to their pace, understanding, and goals. I start by identifying strengths and areas for improvement, then structure lessons accordingly.

Focus on Complex & High-Demand Topics
I specialize in challenging A-Level topics, including cash flow statements, partnership accounts, corrections of errors, accounting ratios, budgeting, variance analysis, business strategy, SWOT/PEST analysis, and exam case studies. I break down complex topics into step-by-step, manageable parts so students gain confidence and clarity.

Exam-Focused & Results-Oriented
My lessons are designed to build both understanding and exam skills. I provide worked examples, practice questions, and exam-style problems to ensure students can apply concepts under exam conditions.

Interactive & Practical
I use real-world examples, scenario-based questions, and discussions to make lessons engaging and relevant. Students not only learn theory but also how to apply it in practical and exam contexts.

Calm, Structured, and Supportive
I create a patient, encouraging learning environment. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, building confidence and independence.

Mentorship Beyond Tutoring
Drawing on my FCCA qualification, 15+ years post-qualification experience, and B.Ed, I mentor students to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and strategic understanding - skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Subjects

Personal Description:
Equipped with an ACCA and ACA - Kaplan Financial London & BSc in Accounting and Finance, I consider myself a problem solver which has given me an edge over others and has made me confident. Possessing strong working knowledge of real world accountancy & finance has conceptually made me very clear with the subjects of listed professional bodies.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching different types of students on different levels since 2008 and my fundamental objective is to get them through decently.

Post exam qualified experience has enabled me to evaluate students' understanding on particular subjects and then deciding the level of approach.

My students come from different walks of life.

University students covered from the following institutions:

I have also presented at a number of European and international academic conferences and hold a PGCHE (Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching in Higher Education). Having previously led the research studies stream at a leading HE institution, I am well placed to tutor in both business/mgmt, leadership, sports, sociology and research methods related areas.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching specialisations fall into three broad categories:
- business/management (with a specific expertise in leadership studies):
- research methods, including dissertation and theses support

Subjects

Personal Description:
A seasoned Economist, having studied Math, Business and Economics formally for the best part of a decade.

Having also studied Business Studies and Maths to a high standard, both complementary subjects, I am able to offer context to my lessons whilst aiding with the technical aspects of Economics; Statistics and Econometrics.

Your child won't be placed in a group with other children who have different needs and work at different levels!

I have high expectations of your child - this helps them to reach their goals.

PN's Mum (PN attends a Grammar school)


2019-2020

LS's mother-

I wanted to express my thanks again. I have no doubt that LS would not have achieved a level 5 without your tutoring, and it had been left to the school. I had every faith that LS was capable if he applied himself and had the right teaching and guidance but could not see him getting what he needed from the school. He did it. Thanks to you.

2018-2019

E has improved a lot lately with V's help. V is really good at teaching (E's mother)

I wanted to drop you a line to thank you personally for all the help and support you have given L over the last few months. Whatever the outcome is she couldn't have done it without your coaching. Her work has definitely improved which wouldn't have happened had she continued with just the support school gave her. So thank you.( L's mother)

My approach to tutoring is to have honest and open communication which can help build a trustworthy relationship between me and my student. This inevitably allows both of us to be comfortable in expressing ourselves. I hope to ensure that my students needs are being addressed and that we can clearly evidence this.

We would start with an initial assessment of the student ability and see whether they have done no Arabic or a little Arabic already. I would be open to using the students own resources and complement with my own.

Personal Description:
I am a friendly, patient, and highly motivated tutor with several years of experience supporting students across a range of abilities. I pride myself on being approachable and reliable, and I build strong rapport with students to help them feel confident and engaged in their learning. I am organised, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about helping students reach their full potential, both academically and personally.

I take a calm and encouraging approach, tailoring my support to each student's needs while maintaining high expectations. I am committed to creating a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing independence in their learning.

Teaching Experience:
I have over four years of tutoring experience across Maths, Sciences, and Business, supporting students at 11+, KS3, and GCSE level. I have delivered both in-person and remote tuition, with a strong focus on Maths.

Most recently, I provided remote GCSE Maths tutoring to students at the British School Chennai, where I delivered structured one-to-one lessons, created tailored revision materials, and supported students with exam preparation and confidence-building. Teaching in an international and online setting strengthened my ability to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs and maintain engagement remotely.

In addition, I have direct experience with the 11+ pathway, having passed the 11+ myself and studied at a grammar school. This gives me strong familiarity with 11+ Maths content, exam technique, and the level of discipline required to succeed. Across my tutoring experience, I have supported students of varying abilities, tracked progress over time, and adjusted lesson plans to ensure consistent improvement.

Overall, I have delivered several hundred hours of tuition and am confident teaching Maths at primary and secondary level, with a student-centred, structured, and supportive approach.

My teaching approach is student-centred, structured, and supportive. I begin by understanding each student's current level, learning style, and goals, and I tailor lessons accordingly. I break down complex topics into clear, manageable steps and use examples and practice questions to reinforce understanding.

I focus on building both subject knowledge and confidence, encouraging students to ask questions and think critically rather than memorise methods. Lessons are interactive, with regular checks for understanding and targeted feedback to ensure steady progress. I adapt the pace and teaching style as needed and place strong emphasis on exam technique and problem-solving skills.

Above all, I aim to create a calm, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and developing independence in their learning.
