Also, I was quite apprehensive about hiring someone I don’t know. But all my doubts vanished when I had my first session with Ivan. He made me comfortable and I knew that I was in good hands, from the get-go. He purchased the book my course was using and I also emailed him the course syllabus. The following session, he already discussed material that was necessary for me to understand yet; it wasn’t examined in the book.

Her confidence and attitude were rapidly deteriorating. She agreed for me to hire a tutor and of all the tutors I read about, and finally spoke to, Ted was by far the most impressive. From the moment he walked into our home, his caring manner won over my daughter. He was patience, and extremely knowledgeable. He methodically walked through the math with her, made her feel comfortable, and even laugh. I often heard her say "oh, I get it!"

He goes above and beyond when teaching our son. He often gives extra time to conclude a lesson that he is teaching. Other tutors don't do that. Imtiazur is patient, which enables the student to feel comfortable and not rushed. Imtiazur answers our questions and calls away from tutoring sessions. That is awesome! He is a humble and good person whom we trust to spend time with our son. He has a passion for mathematics that filters to the student.
