Personal Description:
I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and a member of Chartered Accountants Ireland. I have an honours degree from UCD in Commerce and Spanish, as well as an honours Masters from Smurfit School of Business in Management Consultancy. I have recently (September 2023) successfully completed a diploma in Forensic Accounting from CAI, in which I received a Distinction.
Tutoring Experience:
I have previously offered grinds to multiple students doing both their Junior Cert/Leaving Cert exams as well as college/university, ACA and ACCA exams with a very high success rate. I have received very positive feedback from students about my approach to teaching accounting as well as helping students with their exam technique and time management.
Approach to Grinds:
I offer a friendly and questions based approach to teaching as I believe the best way to learn accountancy is to do as many questions as possible. Practice, practice, practice! I also find this keeps the student more engaged and is most interesting for all involved. I genuinely love teaching accounting and I really care about my students and am passionate about helping them to pass their exams. I break down difficult concepts in an easy and simplified way for greater understanding.
I am also available for online tutoring.
Discounts available for group tutoring sessions. Message me for further information.
