Melita B.

Private tutor in Póvoa de Lanhoso, Portugal

Education

I completed my Bachelor of Arts at the University of Queensland. I earned my Diploma of Teaching at Mt Gravatt CAE in Brisbane. I took a Graduate Conversion Course in Accounting at UTS in Sydney and completed the Professional Year Program at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

Experience

I was a secondary school teacher in Maths, English, history, and economics. I am a retired Chartered Accountant with over 35 years of experience in accounting. I have worked in the private sector, at chartered firms, and as a partner in a chartered firm. I watched my daughter struggle with introductory accounting at university. As part of her Bachelor of Business degree, it was a mandatory subject. For students not undertaking a Major in Accounting, such as IT, PR, or Advertising, the subject can be quite daunting. I tutored her, as well as her friends who had failed the subject during their first attempt. My clientele simply grew from there. I don't always follow the syllabus if I feel that my students don't understand the basic principles. The basics are a good starting point for understanding any subject. With my guidance, every one of my students has achieved a credit and higher.
