Great First Lesson

Ivan helped me with a web systems hardening project for my last class. He was great at explaining what steps needed to be taken to achieve the tasks. He also provided significant assistance with troubleshooting issues. I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks, Ivan!

Excellent Tutor!!!

I had a 2 hour session with Ivan and it went very well! I am interested in getting into Information Technology, and wanted up my technology skills. I am not naturally tech-savvy, but Ivan explained everything I wanted to know very clearly and made everything very understandable. He also gave me the the confidence I needed so much. Ivan is not just teaching me theory, but also real world practical skills, which are very valuable. He is very knowledgeable in anything tech related and is good at sharing that knowledge. I look forward to continuing with Ivan, and gaining what I can from him. He has a lot to offer!

Learning Python Without Crying Thanks to Him!

I honestly didn’t think anyone could help me understand Python—I was completely lost before my tutoring session. But by the end, not only did I have a much better understanding, I also felt confident that I could truly excel in Python. He was incredibly flexible, even meeting with me on short notice, and took the time to make sure I understood each concept before moving on. What really impressed me was how well he adapted to my learning style—his explanations were clear, relatable, and easy to follow. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Python or any of the other subjects he tutors. He’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping his students succeed. If you're struggling or just want to build your skills, he's the tutor you want by your side.
