Is tutoring right for you?

Tutoring Is for You If…

You keep falling short on the same section.

You’ve put in the hours, but your score isn’t moving.

One topic keeps tripping you up.

Consolidations, audit sampling, IT controls: you need someone to explain it differently.

You’re a retaker.

Repeated near-misses usually point to a specific gap no one has helped you find yet.

Your exam is coming up fast.

You need focused help on what matters most, not another full course.

"One targeted hour on the right concept beats ten hours of unfocused review."

Since 2016, she has coached 250+ students, with 85% of CPA exam sections passed.* As a certified hypnotist, she also helps you prepare for the pressure of exam day, not just the content.

Every session is built around you. After a quick diagnostic, Dr. Charles identifies your exact knowledge gaps and tailors every hour to those specific weak areas, not a generic curriculum. If you're struggling with FAR consolidations specifically, that's where we go, not back to FAR basics.
TAPA combines deep technical exam knowledge with certified hypnosis and mindset coaching. Dr. Charles helps with both what you study and how you handle pressure, managing exam stress alongside closing knowledge gaps. Few providers offer this combination.
Yes. All TAPA tutoring sessions are 100% virtual. Whether you're in New York, California, or anywhere else in the US, you get the same high-touch 1-on-1 support from Dr. Sabine Charles. Sessions run over video call with screen sharing for working through problems together.
We tutor all six CPA sections (AUD, FAR, REG, BAR, ISC and TCP); CIA, CISA, CISM, CFE and CRMA in internal audit, IT and risk; and other certifications including CMA, CRISC, CGEIT and EA (Enrolled Agent). Tell us which exam and section you are preparing for when you book, and Dr. Charles will build the session around it.
Sessions can typically be scheduled within a few business days. Use the booking link above to see Dr. Charles' available calendar and select the time that works for you. If you have an urgent exam date, email us directly and we'll prioritize your booking.
Absolutely, and many candidates get their best results this way. Pair tutoring with the self-paced CPA, CIA or CISA Success System for review between sessions, or add a CPA Boot Camp for an intensive push on one section.
Retakers are exactly who TAPA was built for. Multiple failures usually mean a specific gap that no one has helped you identify yet, not a lack of ability. Dr. Charles will find that gap, rebuild your approach section by section, and give you a clear path to finally passing.
Yes. Payment plans are available for all tutoring packages. Email info@tapainstitute.com to arrange a plan that fits your budget, and we'll get you set up before your first session.
