I'm Lisha! I'm a licensed CPA with 10+ years client service experience and 1 year of professional tutoring experience. I have and MBA and B.S. in Accounting.

In its simplest form, my role as a CPA involves problem solving. In reality, that involves translating complex financial and tax accounting regulations to simpler and digestible material for the client and/or incoming staff. As such, I've spent the majority of my career marrying these two responsibilities - learning to quickly and effectively teach complex matters.

I utilized tutoring throughout my academic career as performance optimization. Whether the intention is to improve grades or increase understanding, I think particularly with accounting, there is a benefit to be gained by partnering.

My Ideal Student
I believe strongly we all learn differently. My strong skill set is being able to accommodate those learning differences and meet people where they're at. I am relentless about connecting with students in a meaningful way - sometimes together we learn how the student learns best, and they're able to utilize that to their advantage in future courses. That being said, I am fond of students who are taking ownership of their academic career and responsible for their learning. (See how that translates in my sessions below).

PARENTS: Generally, after our first point of contact, I maintain communication with the student directly.

CPA Exam Prep
Our sessions are tailored to meet your needs! We review key concepts and how they translate on the exam and tie into the AICPA Blueprint. We will practice multiple choice questions and break down task based simulations to solidify your understanding. I LOVE helping candidates prepare for the CPA exam!

Financial accounting (Principles and Intermediate)
I know several colleges currently utilize e-learning systems, such as Pearson's MyLab or McGraw Hill's Connect. I work with students to first introduce or reinforce the material for the chapter and then work though completing homework problem

Algebra 1

I have always excelled in math. I was fortunate to have teachers who identified and nurtured this passion since 2nd grade. It allowed me to approach and succeed in math classes with great confidence. I passed AP Calculus and ultimately went on to take and complete Statistics in college. As I continued to perform well in high school, I had the opportunity work as a teacher’s assistant working with students in pre-algebra, Algebra I and II. In my sessions we focus on course topics, but also tips and tricks for success with test taking. The goal is to establish a foundation that we build upon throughout the semester so they approach new topics without reservation and are overall successful in their course.

Aside from working towards technical proficiency, we will also focus on test taking strategies. I want my students to feel confident in their success!

The ABSOLUTE best!

Let me start of by saying hands down Lisha is the reason why I'm one exam away from becoming a CPA. I reached out to her initially to advance my excel skills for a new job I had accepted. Well the conversation and tutoring session went well, so well that by the time I was done, Lisha planted a seed of me becoming a CPA. Hell ,3 months later I purchased Becker and Lisha and I started this journey. Lisha has tutored me with each and every section of the CPA exam. Her patience, knowledge and her commitment to see me accomplish a life long dream is worth more than I can ever repay. I would recommend for ANY and all things accounting, actually no all things LIFE. Lisha is someone you not only want in your corner someone you ABSOLUTELY need in your corner. Book her NOW!!!

Excellent Tutor with great teaching skills!!

My accounting tutor Lisha was awesome. Lisha was very patient and helpful. I couldn’t believe how she analyzed an accounting problem I had difficulty with and made it look so easy for me to understand. She makes good notes and examples that is simple and very easy to understand and it has encouraged me to work harder and made my tutoring session enjoyable. She is very quick to prepare notes and examples at the last minute even if I didn’t come prepared for the tutoring class. I can just tell her a few words of what my problem is without anything written down and she gets it prepared in no time. Lisha thank you very much and I look forward to working with you again.

Helpful, Patient & Knowledgeable

Lisha provided feedback on a case study I had been assigned. She really was a pleasant tutor and I felt so comfortable asking many questions. She is my official go-to for all things related to financial analysis!

Tanya, It is a privilege for me to work with the brightest minds!

Everything you can ask for in a tutor!

Lisha helped me pass 3 of the 4 exams on my CPA journey and helped me cross the finish line to where I'm now done! Lisha is everything you want in a tutor: patient, kind, holds you accountable, and truly is so invested in your success. Every lesson we had I was able to walk away with something new and she has a way of making the lessons even kind of fun. I cannot thank Lisha enough, and would 100%, without a doubt, recommend her to anyone that is even considering a tutor.

Knowledgeable

Lisha is a great tutor and comes with a wealth of knowledge. After tutoring sessions with Lisha for the CPA exam I feel even more confident for exam day. Lisha will definitely be my tutor for the remaining sections to complete for the CPA exam.

Thank you so much for your feedback, Patrice. I’ve loved working with you.

Best Accounting tutor hands down!

Lisha is responsive, thorough with what she teaches, encouraging, and experienced. She knows how to do this people!! She explained concepts to my daughter at a level she could understand them, but showed her how to execute complicated problem solving methods for her college exams. My daughter loves working with her and will continue to do so throughout business school.

Allison, 13 lessons with Lisha
