My teaching method is based on the knowledge level of the student, and the area that help is required. I understand that no two students are alike and learn differently. The classes are geared towards accounting students who require additional help in particular areas of accounting.
I have a Masters Degree in Accounting and a Bachelors of Business Administration. I have worked in the capacity of Accountant, Accounting Manager and Assistant Financial Controller. With over 25 years of working experience both in the Financial industry and manufacturing sector, I have a lot of knowledge to impart.

Trisha is a brilliant, hardworking, patient and articulate Accountant which I strongly believe will lend itself well to her ability to impart knowledge and also coach students. She has had years of experience in leading an accounting team which would require her to train and develop her staff.
Trisha and I completed our Master's Degree together and had several opportunities to work together as a team. She was always the reference point to anyone who had any challenges in grasping a difficult subject area. These qualities are great indicators that she will make an excellent tutor.
Trisha is a hardworking, self motivated and compassionate individual. Always pleasant and easy to work with. A very strong team player.
I have known Trisha for the past 23 years and I have found her to be extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable and hard working individual. We both did the Master's degree in Accounting at the University of the West Indies and I have first hand experience of her knowledge and competence in Finance and other subject areas. She is passionate and has the necessary tempement to be an excellent teacher.

I met Trisha while she was working at a Credit Union in Jamaica,she is very patient , she learns concepts and principles quickly and has the ability to impart to others. She also has a number of years experience in Finance which she can utilise when teaching her students. Trisha was my mentor in the Accounts department and the principles and knowledge that she imparted to me has allowed me to grow and developed which has enabled me to now hold a managerial position.I recommend Trisha because she is trustworthy, committed and have the relevant qualification and experience
I met Trisha, as she was my Manager at Wisynco Group Limited in Jamaica. Trisha proved to be very practical when explaining concepts. Trisha explained in details the concept of accruals and prepayments in such a practical way. I highly recommend Trisha, as she's an excellent teacher!
