I am taking a basic Federal Income Tax Course. Gary helped me with homework problems pertaining to issues such as EIC, Education Credits, Retirement Benefits, Interest, Dividends, and Other Income. He also helped me prepare for my midterm exam. Gary was easy to talk to and kind. He had a thorough knowledge of the 1040 tax return, and broke down topics I had difficulty with into easy explanations.

My son Bradley has really liked Ayanaw. He said that Ayanaw explains the math problems for him. If Bradley does not understand, Ayanaw breaks it down visually and if there is still confusion, will adapt his teaching to teach the problem with another learning style. Bradley has very much enjoyed his sessions with Ayanaw. Ayanaw is reliable and conducts thorough follow up with me on their sessions.

Her lessons are thorough, well-planned, and very challenging. She keeps in good communication with her students before and after class and is available for questions. Her teaching style is professional but friendly. She is very approachable and clearly enjoys her teacher/student relationship. She is good at discerning where a student is at and holds the bar high enough for me to reach in order to grow but not so high that it is unattainable.
