I am currently a Professor at a public university and a two private colleges in graduate (MBA-level) business, quantitative and statistics disciplines. Among the courses I teach are: Information Systems; Operations & Supply Chain Management; International Business; Strategy & Innovation, Quantitative Methods & Analytics; Probability & Statistics, Operations Research, Corporate Finance and Leadership. I also teach two undergraduate capstone writing courses on organizations & collaborative leadership.

With two graduate degrees from Cornell University, I have many years of experience in successfully addressing real world problems, as both an international management consultant and as a high technology business executive.

I truly enjoy one-on-one tutoring, particularly simplifying complexities, theories or problems and offering analogous examples so that students truly understand the "why" and "what" of the underlying logic and problem approach, rather than only the how. As a result, dealing with the subject issues and real world problems becomes much more intuitive and second nature.

Much More Than You Bargained For!

Ivan B. is a true subject matter expert in (among other areas) the statistics and operations management body of knowledge. He is quickly perceptive of individual level and learning style, and delivers the material in a manner that creates a series of "aha" moments, using a combination of short explanations of underlying theory and principles, followed by the application of tools, techniques and formulas to the required assignment. Skillfully and ethically, he closely guides you through assignments without doing the work, allowing real learning and mastery to take place. In these few hours of tutoring sessions with him, I learned more than I did in the entire semester. I recommend him highly.

Joe, 10 lessons with Ivan

Knowledgeable and patient

Ivan was available to help me last minute with a case study on Operations Management. He was very knowledgeable and patient and spent extra time with me to make sure I understood the process and concepts.

Vy, 1 lesson with Ivan

Very informative and helpful

Fantastic approach that really dumbs it all down without being I just got a 100% on my test! Thank you, Ivan!

Nicole, 1 lesson with Ivan

Excellent Tutor!

Ivan was a great help in providing me greater insight into how to utilize Excel OM/QM to solve various Quantitative Reasoning Scenerios. His patience and means of explanations has provided me the confidence to tackle my course requirements.

Tye, 1 lesson with Ivan

Great!

After numerous tutoring sessions with Ivan, we recommend him highly! He has helped us navigate the challenges of two math oriented upper division business classes.

Susan, 9 lessons with Ivan

Reliable, relevant and supportive!

Ivan is wonderful. A current professor of statistics, he offered me a solid, alternate perspective to topics I learned each week. Following along with my syllabus, we were able to schedule biweekly lessons, adjusting as needed to focus on specific topics, study for an exam, or run through some models for a project I was working on. He always holds high the greater purpose for statistics. Flexible for last minute support and always quick with an email reply, I'd recommend Ivan unreservedly for someone who want strong, emphatic support.

Victoria , 7 lessons with Ivan

Knowledgeable and makes it easy to understand

I needed help working through a group project assignment in a clinical applications of population analysis class, where none of the group members were agreeing on the math. Ivan helped me understand the reason why the calculations were needed to be done a certain way.

Stacy, 2 lessons with Ivan

Knowleadgable and a patient tutor

Ivan helped me a lot with my homeworks. Ivan is a caring tutor and makes sure all your needs are met and completed. It helped me to end up with a B+ as my final grade. Thank you for everything.
