Understand the method
Work through accounting procedures step by step and understand the reasoning behind the entries.
Understand the figures. Explain what they mean.
Accounting becomes easier when the method and the reasoning make sense together. We work through both, one step at a time.

How I can help
I teach A Level Accounting online, with lessons shaped around your exam board, current topics and confidence. We can work through accounting methods, practise calculations and develop your explanations of what the figures mean for a business.
Interpret the figures
Explain what calculations and financial statements reveal about the business, including their limitations.
Improve exam answers
Practise accurate workings, clear presentation and written recommendations supported by financial evidence.
A Level Accounting topics
These are some of the areas we can work on. Lessons follow your exam board’s specification, with time to revisit the topics you find difficult.
Double entry and accounting records
Ledger accounts, trial balances, correcting errors and checking the accuracy of accounting records.
Preparing financial statements
Income statements and statements of financial position, with adjustments for depreciation, accruals, prepayments and inventory.
Accounts for different organisations
Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, together with incomplete records where required by your specification.
Ratios and financial performance
Calculate and interpret profitability, liquidity, efficiency and gearing measures, and explain the limitations of comparisons.
Costing and budgeting
Contribution and marginal costing, absorption costing, activity-based costing, budgets and variance analysis, according to your syllabus.
Investment appraisal
Calculate payback and net present value, interpret the results and evaluate a project using financial and non-financial factors.
Content and assessment vary by qualification. Please share your exam board, syllabus code and exam year so we use the right specification and practice materials.
EXAM PREPARATION
Exam technique and revision
Accounting exams test more than the final figure. I help students present a method clearly, interpret the information they have calculated and write reasoned recommendations.
We can use past-paper questions, mark schemes and your previous answers to identify what needs attention, then practise under timed conditions when you’re ready.
Set out workings clearly
Use a logical layout, label calculations and apply the formats and terminology expected by your exam board.
Interpret, rather than just calculate
Explain what a ratio, variance or appraisal result means for the business and use figures to support the point.
Evaluate accounting decisions
Weigh up financial and non-financial information, recognise limitations and consider ethical issues where relevant to the question.
Practise exam timing
Read requirements carefully, match the depth of your answer to the marks and build a checking routine for calculations and written responses.
