The Right Tutor. Great Effort. Great Results.
Scott, 43 lessons with IraThe job of a tutor is not simply to present the material; rather it is to ensure that the pupil understands and can apply the lesson learned. This requires that the tutor be able to match his method of teaching and explanation to match the individual student's needs. I'm thrilled to say that Ira was able to do this with great skill.

The Right Tutor. Great Effort. Great Results.
The job of a tutor is not simply to present the material; rather it is to ensure that the pupil understands and can apply the lesson learned. This requires that the tutor be able to match his method of teaching and explanation to match the individual student's needs. I'm thrilled to say that Ira was able to do this with great skill. Though our daughter had fairly good mastery of many concepts on the SAT Math, she was often missing the "tricks." Ira was able to cut through her basic level of understanding and bring her to the next level. After she completed her first practice test, Ira confidently predicted that he could likely get her score to a 700. This is exactly what she scored on her first attempt. With regard to his work, Ira has been very professional and understands what it means to provide good service. He is extremely prompt at returning calls, emails or texts. We have never had an issue scheduling him, as he was always able to accommodate us. We never felt as if our daughter was rushed; he always took more time than the actual hour allotted and would ensure that she understood what was covered during each session. Ira often used humor to liven up what could otherwise be a tedious process; our daughter actually ENJOYS the sessions with him. At the same time, he could be quite serious, often unrelenting when trying to ensure that a concept was definitely grasped. We were so happy with him that we have continued to use his services as a math tutor for our daughter in Pre-Calc, as well as with our younger daughter in algebra. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any math tutoring. He is an excellent tutor. We are so happy we found him.

Awesome Tutor
Knowledgeable, patient, engaging and respectful. Ira did not release DEMIAH until he was sure she understood what he taught her. That alone impressed me and made me feel like it was money well spent

Great tutor for SAT math
Ira helped my son with SAT math. We were particularly interested in reviewing harder problems. Ira was extremely knowledgeable and was clearly committed to making sure my son had the best preparation possible. He solicited feedback as well, to be sure he was addressing all our concerns. I would recommend Ira without reservation.

best teacher in the world
Honestly I thought I’d never understand math, and let me tell you it’s only been day 1 with him and understood I think a whole year of math lol. Honestly he is super communicative and goes on your steps, never rushes you or judges you. Reminds you to step back and think before answering and I think that really opened my eyes! Definitely recommend!

Very patient teacher
Ira helped me review basic math skills/concepts that are required for passing the Elementary Praxis exam. He was very thorough in his explanations and the processes of the why and how’s of certain math eauations

Knowledge and Patient Tutor
I've been working with Ira for a few weeks to prepare for the elementary math Praxis. Ira's knowledge, application, and delivery of the content is second to none. He's highly skilled at applying real-world scenarios to help make connections and further understand the material, and his patience and encouragement are very much welcomed and appreciated when I'm slogging through what can often be a painful process of learning math concepts. With Ira's guidance and support, I'm slowly but surely gaining more confidence towards meeting my mathematical goals.

Mr. Ira was great, he helped me with arithmetic questions for the ASVAB. He was very honest during our session and showed me various ways to simplify questions and look at them from different perspectives!
