I am very thankful that my tutor (Ivan) was patient and understood my level of anxiety with the subject matter. He was very flexible and never made me feel that I was in over my head. He has helped increase my level of confidence and with his support and expertise I achieved success in my doctoral level statistical analysis of research course. Thank you!


Andrew P. from Westport, CT

I posted on WyzAnt in April 2015 that I was in need of a tutor to help me through the last three weeks of my college-level statistics course. I specifically stated my need for help completing and understanding homework assignments and help in preparing for my upcoming final exam. By the next morning after my post, Ivan had contacted me through WyzAnt offering his assistance. I met with Ivan numerous times over the course of the three weeks leading up to my final exam; Ivan effectively and efficiently covered a broad range of topics, explaining many concepts in layman's terms, which was of significant value to me. Ivan was always easy to reach and communicate with, I never had any trouble contacting him using either email or phone. Scheduling our upcoming sessions was a breeze and Ivan was very flexible, which I greatly appreciated; as I am both a full-time employee and a student. I recently took my final exam, although I don't know my grade yet, it was a great feeling to leave the exam confident that I did very well. I strongly recommend Ivan if you or anyone you know needs some extra help, like I did. Thank you Ivan!


Roman J. from Danbury, CT

Initially I was intimidated by the GRE, but with Ivan's help we slowly chipped away at the test. Now that our sessions have concluded I still continue to apply Ivan's strategies to my independent study regiment. Suddenly the test seems more manageable. I very highly recommend Ivan's expertise and glad to have worked with him.


Julie B. from Berlin, CT

I met with Ivan B. on two occasions to receive help with a statistics project. I can happily say that I learned a great deal from sitting down with him. I would 100% recommend Ivan to other students struggling with this subject. He provided me with extra resources, which he prepared in advance, and was very flexible with times and meeting locations!


Tracy Z. from Southington, CT

THIS is the guy to call! Ivan was just AWESOME! He helped me organize and structure my assignment that was just otherwise going to be a tanked failure!


Krystal S. from Bristol, CT

Ivan has been a great tutor for my statistics class. When I was struggling with my homework, I was able to reach him by phone and he was able to guide me through my problem. He is very patient and great at getting me to grasp the subject even when I need it repeated a few times. I would highly recommend him as a tutor! **Update: I just completed my statistics class today with a B+, which I owe all to Ivan helping me understand this subject! There is no way I could have done it without him! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Ivan!


Joe G. from Poughkeepsie, NY

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.


Barry C. from Richmond, VA

Ivan was able to make difficult concepts easy for me to understand. I learned the best approach to tackle complex problems in less than 1 hour. He is a highly effective tutor and I highly recommend him.


Becky C. from Southbury, CT

Ivan was able to help me with the more difficult aspects of statistics. I was required to take a statistics class to better prepare for research in graduate school. I found myself drowning in the work I had and the lack of help from my online teacher. Ivan was able to help me to better understand everything that was so confusing for me and did it in a patient and understanding manner. I highly recommend you see Ivan if you are having trouble with statistics or any other subjects he is able to tutor!


Sare A. from Southington, CT

I had weekly lessons with Ivan for a little over a month, and he is truly a wonderful tutor. I can't believe how much I have learned in such a short period of time! He teaches at a pace that's appropriate for your own personal learning speed, and he makes sure that you are understanding everything along the way. Also, his way of explaining concepts is very clear and concise. Sometimes, you will get a teacher or tutor who, although they know the material themselves, they are not necessarily good at teaching it to others. But with Ivan, he is really talented at teaching and has a lot of experience with it since he is an actual professor. He genuinely cares a lot about his students and wants to see them do well. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to look into lessons with him! I was nervous at first about my GRE, but after working with him, I honestly feel a hundred times better about it. Aside from having learned a lot, my confidence has grown tremendously. Whatever you are working on, he can give you insight, knowledge, tips, and tricks that will help you gain a better understanding and as a result of that, you'll feel so much more confident and prepared!!


Angie L. from Elizabethtown, KY

Ivan assisted me with the many topics in business analytics. I was able to receive weekly tutoring on linear programming, integer programming, goal programming, nonlinear programming, and regression analysis. I feel much more confident and feel I am well prepared for my exams.


Noelle D. from Bridgeport, CT

Ivan has brought tremendous value to my learning experience. His teaching/discussion methods, stimulated my critical thinking abilities, which has given me great confidence in knowledge, and learning. Ivan creates a safe environment for expression, bringing genuine interaction, expertise, and, enthusiasm to the sessions! I have walked away from each session with practical knowledge, that I can apply -not only in my academics, but also in my professional life. Ivan comes to each session prepared, he was never late for a session which indicated to me, that he took my time seriously. He is very accommodating, and open. I am looking forward to future sessions with Ivan, I see him as a tutor, educator, and knowledgeable mentor. Thank you Ivan.


Marianna A. from New Haven, CT

I have worked with Ivan for my preparation for the GRE. He is a great teacher! He offers a 360° preparation, focused on the improvement on both quantitative and verbal skills. He is patient and extremely flexible toward students' demands. Really recommended, especially if you are weak in quantitative skills and you need a general review of maths.


Agi S. from Fairfield, CT

Ivan is a true educator and a very pleasant individual! I hired Ivan as a Statistics tutor for an 8-week course in Quantitative Application in Criminology. (I am glad I did because he was more of a professor than the one teaching the course.) I am finishing up my MA in CJ with a concentration in Forensic Psychology and I needed help to pass the course. I was very nervous going into the course as I had trouble in previous statistics classes. Also, I was quite apprehensive about hiring someone I don’t know. But all my doubts vanished when I had my first session with Ivan. He made me comfortable and I knew that I was in good hands, from the get-go. He purchased the book my course was using and I also emailed him the course syllabus. The following session, he already discussed material that was necessary for me to understand yet; it wasn’t examined in the book. I met Ivan twice a week for an hour session sometimes more and also we had a few phone as well as online sessions. Ivan is patient, accommodating, knowledgeable, and not only in statistics but he was able to apply the subject to criminology with practical examples. He helped me tremendously with comprehending statistics from the basics to the more advanced areas. He’s dedicated and he doesn’t just show up. He was prepared for every class because he want’s you to succeed. I wish all professors had the same attitude toward pupils and education. I went into this course thinking that I will definitely fail it. Well, I ended up with an A-! Not too shabby. It seems all easy now but it was the most trying 8 weeks of my life. I would have never pass the class let alone with this grade if it wasn’t for Ivan! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to anyone!


William N. from Katy, TX

Ivan helped me immensely in my quantitative analysis class while working on a masters in business. He worked with me in two different ways, solving the math portion, and inputting the problems in Excel which I was very unfamiliar with. There was not an equation he did not know how to solve or concept he could not work with, and in fact, he has a copy of the book that I was working out of. I could not have asked for a better tutor to work with during this very difficult course, and I am sure you will find the same true if you choose to utilize his services.


Rachel M. from Woodbury, CT

I appreciated that Ivan reached out to see what more he could do for Zach and asked for ways to improve the experience, Zach thought it was the best lesson so far. He liked how Ivan spent time to bring problems and went over them during their time together.


Robert E. from Washington, DC

Ivan and I worked through an example process looking at capacity utilization and bottleneck. He was extremely helpful and thorough.


Zachary R. from Wallingford, CT

I reached out to Ivan when I realized that recovering from the 40 I received on the midterm, was going to make for a tough come back. Ivan always had a sugested course of action for our time together and he could exaplin the principles of statistics much better than my professor could. I recomend Ivan, his unparalleled knowledge of statistics will clear up your confusion.


Connie A. from Eldon, MO

Ivan has a excellent background in statistics, and he provides you with several examples and recommendations that will help one understand the concepts that one is needs to know to be able to construct one's statistical data.


Karen H. from Rye Brook, NY

Ivan is helping me with college level probability. He explains things very well and he makes sure that I understand what he teaching.


Alysia C. from New York, NY

Ivan is an amazing tutor. He knows his subject matter, he understands exactly what I need, he is patient and he is just brilliant!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!


Garret C. from Buffalo, NY

Ivan has been helping me for about a month in Probability and Statistics, and after every lesson I have the confidence to go and solve problems that stumped me earlier. He has many ways of explaining each topic which is very helpful. I definitely recommend Ivan if anyone needs a knowledgeable tutor.
