I would highly recommend Colm as a tutor. Colm is patient, knowledgeable, and always explains difficult topics in a clear and understandable way. I was struggling with Financial Reporting and found it difficult to get my head around the material and exam questions. Colm made a big difference to my understanding of the subject and helped me get through my exam.

After struggling with the ACA CAP 2 Financial Reporting exam I reached out to Colm to see if he would be able to help me. Although I had a good base knowledge my confidence was in the gutter after a few failed attempts. For context, I am the only trainee in my company and do not know any other trainees so my pool of peers was myself. During our sessions Colm took the time to discuss what I was doing right or wrong with standards and exam style questions. These discussions allowed me to gain a further understanding of topics / standards and gave me the confidence and the tools to apply them. He provided a very safe space that allowed me to be right or wrong and together we would discuss the potential answers. Colm calmly and consistently corrected or congratulated me as we progressed through them towards the correct solutions. Apart from Colm's vast knowledge and understanding of Financial Reporting, it was his patience and compassion for teaching that struck me. It was evident that his goal was for me to succeed which is exactly what happened the next time I took the CAP 2 Financial Reporting exam. I can not recommend Colm highly enough, his teaching skills and knowledge are fantastic and above all he has the patience of a saint. I know I tested that a few times.

Colm helped me tremendously with tutoring me for a Financial Accounting exam. He got me from a fail grade to a high 2.1 grade and taught me how to understand accounting instead of just learning off the method. I think he was a superb teacher with tailored lessons on what I was struggling with and teaching me in a way that suited me best to learn. I could not recommend him enough to anyone struggling with accounting.
