Excellent and patient tutor
I have had more than five lessons with Ilona and I knew from the first lesson she was the perfect tutor for me. She is very patient and kind. She is also very proficient and detailed. She gives you guidelines and we both tackle the assignments together. I follow her guidelines and it makes learning so much easier. I plan to have her as a tutor for other upcoming college classes. She is the only tutor I want to use. She is very familiar with different subjects as well. Ilona is my permanent tutor. Thank you llona for all of your help. Gina

She was knowledgeable. I just need extra help.
She was very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. I just need additional help with Math and Science and need someone that can explain in a way I can understand. She was great and I enjoyed meeting her.

Oscar, 10 lessons with IlonaTutor responded:I am teaching Oscar vocabulary and reading so he can be on the 2nd level soon, and homework helps with progress. Thank you for your feedback, but I always believe in progress using homework.
Knowledgeable but too harsh for us. Not patient, sweet or fun. Not homeschooling or Unschooling friendly
Ilona knows her stuff well, but her delivery was harsh. If you want a person who is strong and rigorous, Ilona will serve you well. But I explained, prior to the meeting, that I wanted my child to have fun, and work with someone who is patient, sweet, and fun. That is not what she was delivering. I did make it clear that it was not working for us but she insisted to continue so I had to end the session. I came here with no intention of leaving this review, but I don't appreciate she mentions private information that was shared in private as her review of the session here at Wyzant. My son's interests or his grade and levels should not have been shared in her review of the session. She also questioned me on my decision as a parent to homeschool. That was not ok either.
Paula Andrea, 1 lesson with IlonaTutor responded:I met with you for 15min and I couldn not what I needed to do in order to help your son, I as a teacher needed more time to evaluate your son. I am not sure how you were able to make this opinion about me only in 15min meeting and just live.
Excellent and patient tutor

Teacher with unfair and unethical business practice
This tutor schedules class in less than a 24-hour time window of the class start time (Saturday 01/08 6:00 PM class was scheduled at Fri 01/07, 7:36 PM), even after we told her that we cannot do the class. So, there was no way to cancel prior to 24-hour time window. Wyzant requires class cancellation prior to 24 hour time window to not to be charged. And, then, this tutor submits this class for payment saying that student did not cancel it prior to 24 hour time window. When I sent her message on this unfair practice, she never responds. This is a total rip-off and cheating. Stay away from this teacher.
Raghu, 13 lessons with IlonaTutor responded:Yes perhaps but not the truth. However I taught your son piano for many months and he said that he enjoyed learning piano with me. Just mentioning something more important than you did about my lessons. Also, you received your refund, why are you complainig, please explain.
