The hidden difficulty of accounting

Accounting takes a lot of practice, but it also takes a lot of revision for the theory questions. This can often lead to many people thinking that accounting is easier than it actually is in reality. Students often do a lot of accounts with their notes beside them and rush through them and then they think to themselves that was easy, however, in the exam those same students are prone to getting a lot of points taken off them for simple mistakes or maybe they don’t know how to do accounts that are surprisingly different to the practice ones. This is because many students learn the steps to filling out all the types of accounts but they don't learn/understand why they do these certain steps. It's similar to maths, you may know the steps to solving a problem but not understand the steps and then you come across a difficult question and you stumble. Practising with a tutor resolves these issues as they can help you fill out accounts without the use of notes and they can provide useful and intuitive reasons for why you doing certain things! Getting a tutor will certainly help your ability to do accounting well.

Finding the ideal tutor 

Everyone learns everything differently which is why it’s important to choose wisely when you get a tutor. You don’t get to choose your school teacher but you do get to choose a tutor.

People can be visual learners, auditory learners or maybe they need to make detailed notes. You can be a combination of certain types and some methods do absolutely nothing for you. This is why it is recommended you learn your style and then find a tutor who is suited for it! Good luck and happy learning!
