I am doing self-studying. I need a tutor at certain specific times. Example, I will have a span of 3-5 days of reviewing Management Accounting. Review goes much quicker if someone is there to guide me (that is, I do my questions, but when I hit a bump I can clarify things with the tutor). I don't need a tutor on a regular basis, just to be there to help keep the speed of review optimized. Level of knowledge needed from the tutor would be a completion of 4 years of undergrad in accounting/business, with full understanding of concepts (but no real-world experience in accounting or business necessarily required).

Any suggestions? Craigslist post? Specific companies that link tutors as requested? How much should I expect to pay hourly?

My advice would be to find an alumni on kijiji that is offering a tutor service for that course.

And also if youre doing last minute studying for cost accounting, i hope you had a very good reason for it lol

It's just introductory cost-based accounting (the course I'm taking is a preparatory course, although each preparatory course covers content from a 600 page textbook). Already studied the whole thing, but I need to do last-minute studying (I will have approx 5 days to review/do practice questions). Already read the whole textbook word-for-word.

The course covers a ton of material, but it's introductory level. The exam is all multiple choice.

Decided to take too many courses at once and was busy for 1 month, leaving only 1.5 months to study for two different courses (about 21 days per course).

Post the questions you have here

Thanks I will do that. Appreciate the offer of help.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I just finished the stats course. I studied 12 hours a day for 9 days straight. It was brutal. It's the equivalent of a second and third-year stats course combined... and I have no prior stats knowledge. Fucking shit that was brutal.

On to Management Accounting. It'll be a cake-walk compared to the stats course. Less memorization involved, less thinking, less everything ( already read the management book ) ... stats was B R U T A L.

Only problem is I only have 5 days for management to practice.

Studying 9 days for 1 subject to get a grade means you'll lose just about all your knowledge in the week after. Learning curves, moaite.
Just find a final year student. If somebody were to mail me I would be happy to answer to the best of my knowledge. Though I don't do stats, I'm in health care haha

Yeh it seems like that.

Idk.

I'm 13 days into studying between 6 and 12 hours a day. Things going well somehow. Got to my management accounting course today, blasted thru chapters 1-4 no problem today. 5-8 tomorrow, then 9-11 day after, then 12-14 day after. I read the textbook already so somehow everything is sticking when I do practice q's.

Stats was a totally different beast, I'll hopefully have half a day to review before the exam. But it has stuck decently. It just has tons of memorization + concepts, it's like the worst of every world. The rules for interpreting multiple linear regression... or for analyzing cross-sectional data... tons of things... there's so much bs. Chi squared charts, F-charts, P-charts, Z-charts, T-charts... different rules for degrees of freedom... bleh. I like statistics, but I hate the course. It rewards memorizing formulas for everything. I would rather go into better conceptual depth for half the content. It's one of those courses that is just there because you *might* need any one of the concepts in the future. But the core concepts for my career-path are really only in like 6 of the 14 chapters. Takes like 5 pages of calculations to do some questions, so much brute number crunching.
