During the working week I hold evening classes between the hours of 6 - 10pm. I have more flexibility at the weekend. Lessons are 1 hour each and are catered specific to the requirements of the client. I request that clients clarify the areas of focus/revision before each lesson so that teaching time is optimised.
I'm a Qualified Chartered Accountant with 17 years of experience in accounting and finance.
My aim is to explain complex accounting concepts in a clear, concise and understandable way for students or business owners.
I tailor each lesson specific to the students requirements. Each lesson shall be followed with a set of notes for the student to revise and practise with before the next lesson. I make all my lessons fun, enjoyable and relevant to the real world.
I have worked in a variety of industries including Media, Energy, and Financial services, so bring an extensive level of practical experience. I trained with a Big 4 and acknowledge the demanding requirements of studying whilst working.
My qualifications include
1. ACA
2. Masters in Economics
3. Bachelor in Economics
If you are a student at school, university or undertaking professional examinations (AAT/CIMA/ACA/ACCA) my coaching shall facilitate your understanding of the subject matter. If you are a business owner that wishes to learn the keys concepts of bookkeeping, management accounting, financial reporting, cash flow management and taxation this is a service I also provide.

Disappointing! It was horrible experience with Andy!!! He just took the money and was texting me for 1 h. I was shocked and text him back next day and asked about the money. Ofcourse he promised me to send it back but 2 weeks have past and I still didn't received it. I emailed the superprof and sent all evidence, but unfortunately no help :( and he is still on that website... strongly not recommend tutor!!!!!!!!!!!!
