Mr. Avo is an amazing professor. Even though accounting is very challenging, he can take any accounting subject and make it interesting, fun, and easy to learn. He is very intellectual and knowledgeable. There is no doubt he is the best tutor.
Juliette G. from La Canada Flintridge, CA
Avo M. is an absolutely amazing teacher and is making such a positive impact on me and made me understand the topic in a very easy way.
Betty L. from Los Angeles, CA
This is my first tutoring lesson from WyzAnt and I am so blessed to have Avo as my tutor! Although he is very knowledgeable and bright, he is extremely patient and kind when he goes over the material with you. He makes sure you truly understand the material before moving on to another topic. I wish all my professors were like him... I only had one lesson with Avo but I already have another lesson scheduled and can see myself meeting with him regularly for the rest of the semester. Thank you, Avo!
Badr B. from Los Angeles, CA
Avo is a great tutor. He makes sure the student understands the subject in the quickest way possible and he has some very good methods to make the students are knowledgeable about their needs. I thank Avo for his help.
Emine M. from Glendale, CA
Avo is a great tutor. He is very helpful, knowledgeable, and motivated. I am so happy I found him as a tutor. I had confusion in doing a project, and he helped me a lot by giving ideas and methods to solve the issue. He goes to details of the work and provides the best solution in the least amount of time possible. I recommend taking him as tutor.
Leon K. from Los Angeles, CA
Excellent tutor. I had a hard time with determining basis and the gift part for the Enrolled Agent Exam. After he explained it to me, it made me feel more comfortable with the concepts. He is very patient and explains things in detail. I would highly recommend Avo to my friends.
Raffi E. from Burbank, CA

Araceli D. from Bellflower, CA
Great tutor - all around very patient, and I can definitely see results. Avo's very effective, explained every detail of personal taxation and broke it down to the basics, which works for me. I would highly recommend Avo to my classmates.
Anissa S. from Pasadena, CA
I met with Avo at the last minute for my EMBA Accounting course. I have never taken an Accounting course so since this was the second week of class and I was completely lost, I needed Avo to essentially start from scratch. He was extremely patient with me and explained concepts so that I could understand. His stories to break concepts down made the information easier to digest. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable in accounting but was prompt and was at my house within an hour. Great experience and I will definitely be using his tutoring services for the rest of my course!
Ashot D. from Woodland Hills, CA
Avo is really understanding and helps me a lot with my accounting 1. He patiently repeats himself if you didn't understand something. Definitely would recommend him!
Ashley R. from Pasadena, CA
Avo is great! Not only does he take his time in explaining the material, but he also gives real world examples as to when and how you will be using the concepts from the text book. He was able to make time for me at the very last minute. Prior to meeting with Avo, I was given feedback from my professor stating I was not fully grasping the concepts of my finance class and to be sure I understood the concepts prior to taking a quiz. Well at that point I only had about 24/48 hours to restudy the material to be confident in taking the quiz. I immediately contacted WyzAnt for a tutor and Avo actually reached out to me. He was able to make time for me the next day and he spent over 4 hours with me covering all the material from 7 chapters of a corporate finance text book. On top of passing the quiz, I now understand the material and confident I will be successful at this finance course. I would definitely recommend Avo and I plan to continue working with Avo.
Victor V. from Alhambra, CA

Lucelia A. from Los Angeles, CA
Already I have had lessons with Avo few times, and as always are very progressive and he has a strong ability to keep things clear and easy to understand.
Salvador P. from Los Angeles, CA
In my opinion an individual being good at something and being able to teach it comes very hard to find. Avo knows what he is doing and is excellent at explaining it in a much less complex way. I was extremely satisfied with my tutor session, he was very well prepared, was very knowledgeable, was able to answer my questions, even was able to give more realistic examples compared to what the text book teaches. I highly recommend Avo for an Accounting tutor, he is very kind and most importantly punctual.
Cynthia K. from Gardena, CA
Avo is both patient and thorough. He address every question with utmost attention. In fact he is one of the best tutors I've had.
Anahid S. from Burbank, CA
Avo is really a great tutor! He knows accounting very well, and he does a great job making the subject easy to understand by adding real life examples. The first time I meet with him, he came on time, he was very professional and was very well prepared for our lesson. He read the chapters I told him we would cover before meeting with me, also brought a copy of the book with extra copies of some problems he wanted to go over with me. He really knows what he is doing! We covered two whole chapters of intermediate accounting in two hours. Really recommend him as an accounting tutor! Thank you Avo!
Janet B. from Glendale, CA

Niria G. from Los Angeles, CA
I was really needing help with accounting because I am an international student and my bases for acct were really bad. So I contact Avo, and he offered help right away, he was prompt to answer my emails fast and even though he had to work and go to school he made some arrangements so we could meet in my needing time. My experience with him was incredible, I were always a bit uncomfortable with tutors sometimes we spend time and money and we do not learn anything. A learn a lot, he was calm, very patient, going over every step with me. Thanks to him I increased my grade from a D to an A score. He really knows what he is doing. its worthy.
Suliman A. from Los Angeles, CA
Avo is an excellent accounting tutor i really liked the accounting after he teaches me he made the class more easier he is always on time i really recommended him.
M S. from La Crescenta, CA
Avo is a professional— he arrived on time and (very) prepared and goes the extra mile he had printouts from textbooks and even stayed 15 minutes later than planned, or paid for. To give you some background, I’ve never used a tutor before, and I’ve never used Wyzant before, either. I’m in the accountancy program at CSUN; although a good student, for various reasons I haven’t been keeping up with my classes: one of those classes is Intermediate Accounting II. I’ve been cramming for the midterm, and I ended up getting stuck for two days because I couldn’t figure out the method that I was supposed to apply to a certain kind of problem. I frantically left Avo a message and he calls me ten minutes later ready to set up an appointment! Talk about fast response! The day of our appointment he shows me the method I need to use simple as that and more. I was frustrated at the stupid textbook and my stupid professor for making it 100 times more complicated than it really is yet so relieved that it was so simple. I would’ve paid double Avo’s rate for half of the time he spent with me. Next time, instead of wasting 2 whole days struggling, I’m just going to call Avo. You should too!
Troy K. from La Crescenta, CA
Avo simplified the process for me. Homework that was taking me hours to understand was explained in a matter of minutes. He's very professional and has a private area for his tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Avo.
Seth C. from Los Angeles, CA
Avo is a great blend of being a patient tutor AND knowing when to push you to get things done. Simply put, teaching accounting, finance and business comes naturally to him.
