Debit the doubt, credit the understanding.

I trained as an accountant and discovered, filling in for a friend's tuition class, that I liked explaining balance sheets more than preparing them. Fourteen years later I've never looked back — there's nothing like watching a student who 'can't do accounts' suddenly see that it all just balances.

The mistake most teaching makes is starting with formats — here's how a balance sheet looks, memorise it. I start with the logic: the accounting equation, the reason behind debit and credit, the story a set of books tells. Once that clicks, students stop memorising and start reasoning, and the marks take care of themselves. Nine of my students have scored a perfect 100.

If your school or coaching institute wants an accountancy teacher who delivers board results without reducing the subject to rote formats — comfortable across CBSE, state and ISC, and able to take a scared commerce student to a confident one — my results and references are ready to review.
