The Right Tutor. Great Effort. Great Results.
The job of a tutor is not simply to present the material; rather it is to ensure that the pupil understands and can apply the lesson learned. This requires that the tutor be able to match his method of teaching and explanation to match the individual student's needs. I'm thrilled to say that Ira was able to do this with great skill. Though our daughter had fairly good mastery of many concepts on the SAT Math, she was often missing the "tricks." Ira was able to cut through her basic level of understanding and bring her to the next level. After she completed her first practice test, Ira confidently predicted that he could likely get her score to a 700. This is exactly what she scored on her first attempt. With regard to his work, Ira has been very professional and understands what it means to provide good service. He is extremely prompt at returning calls, emails or texts. We have never had an issue scheduling him, as he was always able to accommodate us. We never felt as if our daughter was rushed; he always took more time than the actual hour allotted and would ensure that she understood what was covered during each session. Ira often used humor to liven up what could otherwise be a tedious process; our daughter actually ENJOYS the sessions with him. At the same time, he could be quite serious, often unrelenting when trying to ensure that a concept was definitely grasped. We were so happy with him that we have continued to use his services as a math tutor for our daughter in Pre-Calc, as well as with our younger daughter in algebra. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any math tutoring. He is an excellent tutor. We are so happy we found him.

Ira taught me a lot in our short time together, he helped me recall knowledge of rules of exponent, number system, and types of numbers. Also, he helped me gain a better understanding and practicality of the divisibility rules and complex numbers and their sequential order.

Ira's math lessons are very helpful. He makes the subject clear and concise and loos for feedback so he knows that I am following what he is saying. I plan to work with him again.

Knowledgeable, good approach with students
Ira was very responsive and promptly available. He is very knowledgable, and targeted specific knowledge my son needed. He has a good way to relate to the student, and maximised the lesson time to teach methods and ways to learn not memorize. He helped overcome gaps in knowledge. He has also a very friendly personal style that makes students at ease. Thank you!

Ira was very patient with me. I was impatient with my self.
I provided questions and Ira provided me with how to solve, clearly. We had some technical difficulties, so I will be trying to work those out before our next session.

Passionate Guy for Stats!!
Ira is very knowledgeable in statistics and really try to break down concepts to meet you at your level. He uses cool analogies to make concepts more understandable. I highly recommend him.

Stat lit
Stat lit for undergrad. Repeated instructions. Very patient and kind. Teaches multiple ways to solve and how to check work. Very positive and encouraging while being realistic and firm to promote the student’s independence and growth. Good for college students. Will be using a good bit this semester to get through stat lit successfully.

Extremely knowledgeable and patient Tutor
Ira is very patient and takes the time to explain every detail with very easy to understand and common examples that I was able to associate with.He was extremely knowledgeable and did not just given me the answers. He was able to take the time to explain in great detail the difference between the answers and allow me to come the the right conclusion
