GCE A-Level / IAL
IAL Accounting tutoring across financial and management accounting — journals to company accounts and costing decisions — planned around the January and June sittings. One-to-one, in Kwun Tong or online, with a free trial lesson.
The subject splits into financial accounting — recording and reporting: journals, adjustments, financial statements, company accounts — and management accounting, which exists to support a decision: cost classification, marginal costing, budgeting, variances. The first rewards accuracy, the second judgement. Plenty of students score well on the first half and lose marks on the written questions in the second.
Accounting papers are marked line by line. An income statement with an expense in the wrong section, or a missing "less:", loses marks even when every figure is right. Calculations have to show workings too — a correct answer with nothing behind it usually earns part of the marks at best.
Like the other IAL subjects, Accounting is sat in units and can be retaken. Because the marks track practice so closely here, a retake is often better value in this subject than in others — another round of past papers usually shows up directly in the grade.
One-to-one or a small group you form yourself, 60 minutes a lesson, in Kwun Tong or online. Start with a free trial lesson so we can look at how you currently lay an answer out before deciding what to work on.

It depends on the student. Financial accounting is lost on method — entries, adjustments, statements, where one missed step corrupts the whole statement after it. Management accounting is lost on judgement — the arithmetic is right but no decision follows from it. The two need entirely different remedies, so we establish which one applies first.
You can, but the bookkeeping layer has to be rebuilt. IAL assumes double entry and basic statements are already secure, and if that layer is shaky, company accounts and costing decisions become very hard going. The trial lesson tests that layer before deciding whether the first few lessons go on foundations.
It depends which units are ready. A modular course can be split across sittings; we work the schedule backwards from the sitting and leave room for a unit resit.
