Debits and Credits are my specialty.
Need help in your Accounting Class? Need help in Math or Reading? I worked as a CPA, both in public and private accounting, for many years. My experience includes managerial accounting, job-costing, consolidations, payroll, setting up books of account, year-end closing and various tax filings. Excel and Word featured as well. Math and Reading are important, and I help students with these vital subjects. From Elementary to College students, I am patient and encouraging. My approach to...
study skills
By tutoring students about the different aspects of studying, such as note taking, they can make study time more effective. Some of the methods I suggest are memorization, organization, study breaks and movement. I encourage a quiet place to study, free from distraction. The student's learning style needs to be considered. My preparation for the CPA exam gave me lots of practice. I am effective at encouraging Study Skills.

economics
I find economics interesting, both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Economics makes sense to me and I did well in my college classes. I bring this enthusiasm for economics to students through tutoring.

accounting
My general ledger, journal entry and reconciliation experience is supported with years of working with many various companies, compiling consolidated financial statements and doing partnership, corporate and non-profit tax returns. My experience with managerial/cost accounting is supported with years of working with job-costing analysis.
English
I am highly qualified to assist with English studies. During college, even though I graduated with a degree in Finance & Management, I took more English Department courses, including Rhetoric and Creative Writing classes with the Iowa Writers Workshop. English is my favorite subject. I enjoy it and hope that enthusiasm affects the students I tutor.

Microsoft Excel
I've used Microsoft Excel in most of my jobs as a requirement. I'm familiar with the basic menus as well as formulas, functions, macros, pivot tables and multi-page spreadsheets.
general computer
I started my career by taking manual systems and converting them to computer systems, mostly in accounting. I have worked with computers for over 30 years, including training other employees in over a dozen programs. I have a very good grasp of basic computer knowledge and skills.

The first class was very informative. Jody was very patient to explain thoroughly. I used to hate accounting but after our first lesson, I began to change my mind. I won't trade Jody for any teacher in the world.
Kim S. from Phoenix, AZ
Jody is very kind, prompt, and readily available. We wish she were a college level tutor, because she is so patient and nice, but my son needed her for an Excel program that was beyond her scope of knowledge. I think she would be great for younger students whose study demands were less complex.
Aida R. from Scottsdale, AZ
Jody is very friendly. She knew her subject, was ready and well-prepared and helped me to see the material more clearly. I would recommend her services in Managerial Accounting. Thank you.
J S. from Surprise, AZ
I only had a month to complete my course. It was a thirty credit hour college accounting course, and took up most of my time. Thanks to Jody, we were able to cut that time in half. She was able to provide simple answers to my questions. I highly recommend her. She was flexible with my budget, and made herself available to me at any time. And she was pleasant to work with.
Stephanie S. from Scottsdale, AZ
I really enjoyed working with Jody. She was a great tutor and I actually made progress with learning in our first session! She was easy going and and easy to talk to which made it easier for me to explain what I was having difficulty with. She also assisted me with my homework which was great and I got an A on the assignment!
