I received a degree in accounting from Purdue University in 1981. In 1985, I passed the Uniform CPA exam and was awarded a CPA certificate in the state of Illinois. For 30 years I held numerous financial and accounting positions that required the application of fundamental and advanced accounting principles and practices. I continue to help undergraduate and graduate level students understand the fundamental principles of accounting and their application in real world situations.

Herbert was a wonderful tutor. I am currently studying for the Regulation portion of the CPA exam. He helped me understand concepts that I was struggling with by offering real life examples, other than the specific questions in the book. Also, his daytime availability worked with my schedule and he was able to reschedule with no problem at all. I have little work experience with the accounting topics, and Herbert was quite patient when it took more than a few examples for me to understand a concept. I would definitely recommend Herbert!

If Stephen Hawking and Aristotle somehow had a baby genius, Herb H. would be the middle-aged version of that baby genius.


Karen M. from Richmond, VA

My son met with Herbert for 4 tutoring sessions in accounting. He taught the material in a manner that my son could understand and then apply to solve problems. He was also flexible with the meeting place and times (they met over a holiday weekend). Since my son attends a college outside of Richmond, he could only meet with Herbert for a few sessions; had my son lived in Richmond then he definitely would have continued to meet with Herbert throughout the entire semester. Yes, Herbert was that helpful to my son! We were very thankful for his expertise.


Inga K. from Richmond, VA

I'm very thankful for meeting with Herbert. He really understood my learning difficulties, and found a great way to make accounting logical for my understanding. He helped me to improve my grades and knowledge for accounting. The rate might sound high at first, but it's well worth it. You get what you pay for. I highly recommend Herbert to any accounting students.


Karen B. from Doylestown, PA

Herbert was on time, professional, and most importantly knew the subject matter extremeley well! He helped me review four chapters of my Managerial Accounting text in preparation for a test later that day, and I felt much more prepared and had a greater understanding of the concepts after our meeting. I am now finished this course, but would ask for Herbert's help again in future courses if needed. Thank you.


AZAM A. from Philadelphia, PA

I had a great experience with him. He helped me understanding the Managerial Accounting and I got A in the class. Also his time is flexible which makes easy to schedule your time with him.


Ashley B. from Villanova, PA

My daughter Ashley was having a tough time with her Accounting course. Herb was very helpful and understanding in working with Ashley and getting her through a very tough course. He was patient and very informative and gave her the confidence she needed to help her succeed. Herb was very responsive and flexible in his appointments to fit Ashley's busy schedule.


Jason S. from Warrington, PA

I started taking an Accounting class and realized I may need some assistance from a professional in fully grasping the material. I began meeting with Herbert in the beginning of the semester and worked with him throughout its entirety. Herbert worked with me in person but was also available via phone and or email if I had additional questions. He was patient, as well as accommodating to my schedule in order to get the most out of our sessions. The end result was i received an "A" in the course. I would highly recommend Herbert to friends and family or anyone seeking a tutor!


Dana M. from Perkasie, PA

I am a graduate student and had difficulty with a class I enrolled in. I check out my options on WyzAnt and chose Herb due to his bio and what seemed to be a background of great experience. Upon beginning my sessions with Herb he continued to amaze me at how easy he made all of the information. He knew his stuff and with his help I obtained an A in my class. He is very easy to talk to and works patiently with you on difficult concepts. He gives the help needed but also allows you to work on it on your own time to ensure you know the information and the time to absorb the materials if you need the time. I recommend Herb to anyone who would like any tutoring. I plan on utilizing his services again when needed. He is worth every penny!


Barry C. from Richmond, VA

Herb is very knowledgeable and patient. He walked me through various approaches to solving problems outside of Excel. This is what I needed in order to gain a more thorough understanding of the problem.


Chris M. from Portland, OR

Very helpful in teaching fundamentals and practical application of cost accounting for an upper division college course. I highly recommend Herbert for accounting tutoring.

Herbert helped me with Managerial Finance. He was great with simplifying complex problems, making them easier to understand and is very patient during sessions. Working with Herbert enhanced my understanding of finance, how to approach assignments, and become more confident working with the material. Thanks Herbert.


Sooyoung C. from New York, NY

He taught me the AMT, Individual taxation, and how to calculate capital gains and losses. He also cared so much that at the end of the session he passed down what I need to focus on, techniques and also he helped me with getting my motivation back. I would hope to continue getting tutoring from him.


Louis V. from New York, NY

DCF concepts - we went through things like WACC and he answered my questions that I had on the topic.

MESHAL A. from Richmond, VA

I learned from Herbert a lot about chapter 6 "Employee Fraud and the Audit of Cash" I found my self now more prepared for this class and start enjoying this materials.


Lisa C. from Augusta, GA

I had an excellent experience with Herb. I've been struggling to connect terms and situations in my college finance course and he was able to jump right in with a chapter review, explaining the terms, and explaining the equations in a way that was easy to understand. He assisted with implementation of the lessons I was struggling with, even a few real life examples to help solidify the knowledge. Great experience, my first one so far on WyzAnt but most certainly will not be my last. Thank you again!

I am taking an Into to Accounting course and Herbert was extremely knowledgable in helping me understand the concepts


Natalie S. from Mahopac, NY

I just started a Financial Analysis and Reporting class for my MBA. He was extremely helpful! He was able to explain the information that I didn't understand in a way that I finally was able to understand. I was very stressed out and worried about one of my first assignments he provided me with examples and information that I was able to use and got a great score on my assignment. Herb was able to sense that I was stressed, worried, and panicking and was able to relieve some of the stress. Overall he was great and I can't wait to continue to work with him!


Jeremy T. from King George, VA

Herbert was very helpful in breaking down difficult material in my finance class. I was ill and missed a few classes. I was behind and he helped me catch up. Very reliable, knowledgeable, and most important--patient! Finance is a subject that can be arduous. I asked so many questions and he was patient enough to go over each one with me. GET HIM! He has been one of the best I've had on WyzAnt and everywhere else. (I'VE HAD ALOT) Got an "A-" on my finance test and will definitely be getting Herbert again!


Erin Z. from Mechanicsville, VA

Herbert was wonderful with helping me prepare for the Regulation portion of the CPA Exam. He helped me create a study plan that would work with my schedule and would keep me from getting overwhelmed. He kept me positive and focused during the 2 1/2 months of studying. He was always available if I needed to get in touch. I even passed REG!!! I will be working with Herbert for my next three exams!


Michael P. from South Park, PA

I have utilized Herb to give me support for the FARE section of the CPA exam and his knowledge and expertise are second to none. He is very patient and willing to help in any way he can. His extensive experiences in business has provided him with a solid foundation of accounting concepts and he has been invaluable in strengthening my weaknesses. I highly recommend him to any respective CPA candidate.


Ed H. from Seattle, WA

Herbert has a deep understanding of accounting and an ability to explain it in simple terms. Really helpful for test prep for my college level accounting courses.


Jeffrey H. from Brewster, NY

Herbert is an excellent teacher of both Microsoft Excel and the concepts of Financial Modelling which uses Excel quite extensively at the higher levels. I have nothing but nice things and compliments to say about Herbert as a tutor. He is by far the most intelligent and competent tutor which I have EVER had on WyzAnt. He definitely deserves a rating of five stars (excellent tutor!!). He is a credit to WyzAnt tutoring.


Rick S. from Davenport, IA

Just in an hour I was able to learn a vast amount of information about the dynamics of equity and debt (VC) in corporate finance. The end of our discussion we talked leadership skills and development, one of favorite subjects! Outstanding session and highly recommend Herb!


Susann S. from Colorado Springs, CO

Herbert was very clear, explained everything at an understandable pace, and really knew what he was talking about. He has made a huge difference in understanding the material!


Martin J. from Charlotte, NC

Herbert was helpful to me once again with Financial problems that I could not understand in a straightforward way. However, for the second week in a row, the WyzAnt system did not cooperate for us. While Herbert could see and hear me, I could neither see nor hear him even while we had optimized our Web browsers for online audio/video communication. It worked during the first lesson, but in lesson 2 and this lesson, it hasn't worked. I changed no settings since the first lesson, so I don't think this is my fault. I will call WyzAnt about this.
