Sick of that? ↑

Same. That's why I made this site.

I kept noticing how there were a million services that would "set you up with a great tutor in your area!!1!1", but none that actually had quality content.

My name is Aaron and I made this site, recorded 101 videos, and wrote 79 practice problems for ACC 300. You can watch them any time, anywhere. Including right now... without having to leave your house.

I only tutor introduction to financial accounting, because I can't possibly do every class at University of Michigan--Ann Arbor, I just do the one I really know.

I've helped hundreds of students learn financial accounting.

The reason that people love my videos so much is because I explain accounting in a way that actually makes sense. I hear that over and over from my students. Let me help you understand accounting.

Don't take my word for it What Some of My Former Students Have Said

Completely changed the way I understood Accounting. These videos got me through the class! Nathan, Spring 2016
These videos alone helped me get a B in accounting this semester. I didn't go to class at all. Thanks so much! Natalia, Spring 2016

(Please go to class.)

Thanks for making this site, it came in clutch for every exam. Lane, Spring 2016

Need something specific? You can just shoot me an email at [email protected]. It's totally common for me to walk people through concepts over the phone, too. Since this is the internet, I'm not going to put my cell phone on this page, but shoot me an email and we can chat.

It's possible I have office hours coming up too, so check out that page here: acc300umich.com/office-hours.

    It definitely helped me make sense of the last couple chapters before the final when things in class started going over my head. I like that you use visuals and diagrams as well as going through examples. The visual for the breakdown of authorized stock is an example of one I found extremely helpful.

    As soon as I subscribed, my test grades went up at LEAST a letter grade. I only use your website and the book to study and I am about to take my final exam. I haven’t been able to come across video as helpful or as easy to follow as yours. It was beautifully simple and simply beautiful how you made it seem like a puzzle and that I should not be intimidated by financial accounting. Hopefully this final goes well, and I'm watching your videos right now to get a little review before hand.
