Business economics tutoring, online.
Double entry, annual accounts, costs and ratios: in business economics almost everything fits together once you see where each number comes from. 1-to-1 online lessons that start from the exercises of your course, for the Italian technical school in economics or the first year of university.
Every accounting entry has a logic.
Who writes to us most often
- Students at technical schools in economics (administration, finance and marketing, tourism) whose accounting entries do not balance.
- First-year Economics students meeting annual accounts and bookkeeping for the first time.
- Students preparing for an exam session with little time to redo the typical exercises.
- Students who memorise the rules without knowing why an item goes on the debit side rather than the credit side.
A typical lesson
- You send in advance the exercise, the test paper or the exam syllabus.
- We start from a concrete transaction (a purchase, a sale, a loan) and see what changes in the company.
- We write the entry together, item by item, checking that debit and credit balance.
- We close with a similar exercise to do alone, and check the result.

Frequently asked questions.
Do you cover both high school and university?
Yes, from the classes of the technical school in economics to the first year of Economics degrees. Requests for these subjects are assessed case by case: after an introductory call we tell you whether we can assign a suitable tutor and with what timing.
Do we start from the entries or from theory?
From the entries. Double entry is learned by doing: first the concrete case, then the rule. Theory comes in when it helps explain an accounting choice.
Is the programme the one in my textbook?
We follow your teacher's programme. Send us the syllabus and a recent exercise: we build the lessons on those, not on a standard text.
Are formulas or complex calculations needed?
In the first years the formulas are few (percentages, proportions, averages). Calculations of instalments and interest come with financial mathematics courses, for which we have a dedicated page.
Is there study material for revision before the exam?
During lessons we share notes and diagrams on the digital whiteboard. The site also has further reading in Italian, such as the article on the break-even point.
Other useful pages: university tutoring, TOLC-E preparation for access to Economics and the Bocconi test.
Send us the exercise that does not balance.
A 30-minute introductory call is free: you describe the course, the exam and where you get stuck, and we work out together whether and how we can help.
