Helpful and Hillarious

Mr.Ira definitely helped me understand statistics at a very good level. In high school, I failed my Statistics AP exam and I had to take it in college. Ira, actually helped me get an understanding of statistics without letting all the calculator functions distract me. He is a very funny tutor and loves to make people laugh. His stories and ways of illustrating key concepts were the main way that I was able to pass Statistics at a high level.

Taught me strategies that made solving problems way easier!

Ira has helped me to increase my projected SAT score! He’s teaching me subjects I previously knew, and am learning for the first time in a way that works for me. I am very glad to have Ira as my tutor!

Very knowledgable and patient

He takes the time to break things down and really explain it. Always checks for true understanding. I highly recommend him for tutoring. Algebra has always been a challenge and I feel like there is starting to be a deeper understanding.

Extremely Knowledgeable, professional, and Courteous

Ira is one of the most excellent tutors on Wyzant. He knows his materials and presents them effortlessly too. His first session with my daughter was remarkable, as he pinpointed her challenges and immediately went to work with her. He is exceptionally knowledgable and very professional, and his courtesy is awe-inspiring. Before the first meeting, he provided a comprehensive plan to help identify my daughter's SAT Math struggles and a follow-up customized curriculum to address and correct them. We made a great choice, and he will look forward to our future sessions with him. Oh! He is super kind too. Thank you, Ira, for this great partnership.

High energy, engaging tutor

Great first impression. My son needs to improve his math SAT score in less than a month. So far, there was only one class with Ira, however, my son is very interested in continuing tutoring sessions. The class was very fun and engaging. Ira identified the student's flaws in a rather straightforward way. He seems to have a lot of tricks in his sleeves that help him finding a proper approach to a student.

Passed My 5161 / 5165 Praxis!

I have struggled with the Praxis for over 2 years now. In the beginning I didn't really study as much but when I was given an ultimatum of: pass the Praxis or lose your job, I realized I needed to focus... which then lead me to realise I also needed some SERIOUS help. I had danced on the idea of getting a tutor for a while and I am happy to say that me realizing I needed help was the best thing I did for myself. I scheduled 2 sessions with Mr Ira about a week before my 5161 exam and (being the most realistic man possible) was told miracles might not happen in 2 sessions. Lord and behold, I increased my score by over 10 points, but was 5 points off! I took a mental break for about a week and Ira got right back on me to prepare for the 5165 which we both worked together to understand since it was a new exam. I struggled with proofs, geometry theorems, functions, and overall test taking skills. I was always a person who... if I didn't understand the material right away felt like I was stupid, but his constant reassurance really made me not want to give up. He is definitely a funny and kind but really pushed me out of my comfort zone almost every time we met. When I was uncomfortable he always reassured me that he was doing this because he wanted me to pass and knew I was capable, because he probably knew I didn't think I was capable... He was extremely flexible, met with me on his days off, skipped his meals, and even one time when I was really frustrated and wanted to give up, gave me an extra hour of his time to help me feel more at ease with the session. I ended up scoring 173 on the 5165 when I only needed a 159. I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about him and truly owe him more than a thank you, I owe him saving my job and helping me finally obtain my teachers license! If you are like me, and failed this Praxis before, please do yourself a favor and schedule a session with Mr Ira :) Thank you for everything you gave me and everything you have done for me, and I hope I will be infamous for the girl who said sorry over 8x a session!!!
