I offer accounting courses for secondary school students, particularly in vocational training, as well as for first-year bachelor's students at university or college.
The objective is to help the pupil or student understand accounting logic, master important entries and know how to solve exercises in a structured way, whether for a quiz, an exam, a qualification or a refresher course.
I primarily support pupils and students who wish to review the basics, better understand accounting mechanisms and practice on typical exercises.
Subjects covered according to your program:
• Basics of accounting:
debit/credit, asset and liability accounts, expenses and revenues, chart of accounts, account logic, supporting documents and reading statements.
• Journal and accounting entries:
recording of current operations, purchases, sales, payments, receipts, VAT, customer and supplier accounts, entries with or without discount.
• VAT and commercial transactions:
VAT to be recovered, VAT to be paid, purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes, trade discounts, rebates, incidental expenses and calculations related to commercial transactions.
• Depreciation:
straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, depreciation schedules, depreciation charges, net book value and year-end entries.
• Provisions and adjustments:

• Balance sheet and income statement:

• Basic financial analysis:

• Cash flow:

I can also help with economics depending on the level and program, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomics: supply and demand, elasticities, costs, competition, market, growth, inflation, economic policy and basic models.
Method of working :
1. We identify the chapters that pose a problem;
2. I will re-explain the accounting logic with simple examples;
3. We redo the exercises step by step;
4. I show how to recognize the type of writing or calculation required;
5. We construct a clear method so that the student can do it on their own.
I do not limit myself to giving a correction: I explain the reasoning behind each writing and each calculation so that the subject becomes more logical and less mechanical.
I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I also have a degree from Solvay/ULB and professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte, which allows me to explain accounting with an approach that is academic, university-level, and practical.
Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.
