About Michele
I spent 10 years working as a forensic and financial accountant for PWC. I also worked 15 years as a financial controller in the private sector. So I've seen exactly how these concepts work in the real world. I teach accounting because I truly believe it’s the language of business. My goal is to help you see past the numbers and understand the 'story' they tell. When that lightbulb goes off, that's why I do this! We won't just memorize formulas. I break everything down into simple steps, focusing on the logic—like using the 'Assets = Liabilities + Equity' equation as our constant guide. If something doesn't make sense, we'll stop and work through a real-life example. Ultimately, I'm here to make sure you not only pass your exams but that you feel confident applying this knowledge. Let's make this subject easy!

Teaching accounting requires shifting the focus from rote memorization to understanding the logic and story behind the numbers. Here is a structure for delivering effective at-home lessons.
A. The Foundational Framework
I start every lesson by grounding the student in the core principle of accounting.
1. The Accounting Equation (The Constant)
2. The Language of Debits and Credits
I teach the DEAD CLIC mnemonic, which relates them directly to the Accounting Equation
B. Lesson Presentation Methods
1. The Power of the T-Account with visual aids.
Purpose: T-accounts make the dual entry concept immediately visible and intuitive.
2. Real-World Storytelling
Accounting feels abstract until it's tied to real life.
I use a relatable, simple business model for all examples (e.g., a lemonade stand, a freelance graphic design business, or selling items on Trade Me).
3. Step-by-Step Cycle
I break the accounting cycle into distinct phases, focusing on mastery of one before moving to the next:
* Analyze the Transaction (What happened? What accounts are affected?)
* Journalize the Entry (Recording the Dr and Cr.)
* Post to the Ledger (Using T-Accounts to find balances.)
* Summarize on the Trial Balance (Checking the balance: total Debits must equal total Credits.)
C. Tools and Practice
1. Technology for Practice
Instead of relying solely on paper, I use free spreadsheet software (Google Sheets or Excel) to simulate a real-world ledger. This helps the student understand:
* Formulas and calculations.
* The concept of a "balance forward."
* Organization and clarity of financial records.
2. Practice Frequency (Little and Often)
Avoid overwhelming the student with massive problem sets.
Daily Drills: Assign 5-10 small transactions to analyze and journalize daily.
Conceptual Quizzes: Ask "Why" questions (e.g., "Why is Revenue a Credit account?").
The Safety Check: Always have them prove that the Accounting Equation remains balanced after a set of transactions.
By focusing on the balance, logic, and practical application of the dual-entry system, you can make accounting much less stressful and far more understandable for a student.
