Ryan
Certified In-Home Math Tutor (Pasco & Hillsborough)
I am a Florida certified mathematics teacher and graduate from the University of South Florida where I hold a degree in biomedical sciences and humanities. Aside from attending classes full-time, I spent the past few years as a volunteer at Moffitt Cancer Center and worked part-time with a cancer research team at USF’s Morsani College of Medicine. My first tutoring experiences began as an undergraduate at USF helping other classmates who struggled with some of the subject material (particul...

Ryan has been an amazing tutor. My first experience with him was for a statistics class with a horrible professor. He was just as committed as me in trying to pass this class and to say that he went out of his way to meet with me is an understatement! I have never worked with someone so accommodating! He is extremely patient and if I don’t understand something he finds a way to explain it so that I do and he doesn't make me feel inferior in the process. I was amazed at how knowledgeable he was in the subject and am finding that to be the case in my current tutored class (chemistry). Overall my experience with him has been great. He responds promptly when I contact him, accommodates my schedule, and is knowledgeable and has the ability to explain things well. I don’t know what I would do without him!!!

Ryan has worked with both my daughters on algebra 1 & 2. My girls have very different learning styles and Ryan helped them both successfully master the concepts and cover an astonishing amount of material. He has a wonderfully helpful attitude and is a miracle worker in terms of reducing their stress over completing their assignments and helping them feel confident in their understanding of the principles taught.
Tami L. from New Port Richey, FL
Ryan is very interested in the success of my child with math. She has struggled with math since the beginning, and the school system pushed her along. Now she has to pass the newly instituted EOC's which asks them to have a knowledge base that was not being required to pass the classes all along. Ryan has helped her to go back and learn that knowledge base in math!
Helene P. from New Port Richey, FL
You can't do better than Ryan for a tutor. We have been using Ryan as our son's tutor for a year now and he has not only helped our son raise his grades, but has helped him to gain a much better and clearer understanding of his math and science Honors courses. He is very professional and patient. We highly recommend Ryan.
Richie P. from Tampa, FL
Ryan arrived right on time (a pet peeve of mine if you are late) prepared with his own whiteboard. We asked him to do a review with my daughter to see if he knew the subject and he was skilled with math. He offered tips, and was trying to keep busy for the entire paid period with no wasted minutes. Presents as a nice young man.
Melanie A. from Land O Lakes, FL
Ryan continues to help my daughter with her algebra, mostly with strategies that are much easier for her to follow and remain focused. We're already seeing great improvement in her grades!
Erika T. from Lutz, FL
Ryan is a great tutor. Ryan has been patient and professional with my two girls! He listens to the girls concerns and formats their session according to their learning style. Because of the age difference of both girls he has approached differently to the girls learning needs. I have to say he is a great tutor that cares about the individual. He has also taught them to have great study habits! I will definitely ask Ryan to continue helping my girls and he is highly recommended to friends!
Patchara S. from Wesley Chapel, FL
Ryan is such a great tutor. I have been having sessions with him two times a week since October. Since then, I have gotten nothing but 100% on my math tests. Recently, I took a standardized test to get into a program, and Ryan tutored me two nights in a row to prepare. I went from having a C(72%) average in math to now an A(100%) in math. I am now more confident in math and don't dread going to math class. Thanks to Ryan, I am now a superior math student.
Sheila I. from Lutz, FL
Ryan takes a real interest in how my son learns! He realizes that the same approach is not going to work for every student. After working with my son for just a few hours, he quickly recognized that he learns better with computer based approaches. Now Ryan incorporates some form of computer-based learning in every session. He has picked up on his unique learning styles faster than teachers who have worked with him for much longer! I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone struggling in math. He is patient and encouraging and supportive!
Tory H. from Tampa, FL
If there were 6 stars, Ryan would have earned them this week. He worked with all three of my boys and stayed longer than the allocated time to give my eldest a little bit more time to review for a test.
Jane M. from Lutz, FL
My son brought his grade up from a D earlier in the semester to a A! The difference is Ryan tutoring him. Ryan is terrific and he has asked to keep having him tutor in the future. Thank you Ryan. Ryan is prompt, professional and patient. In only two sessions he has boosted my student's confidence in math. He has given his contact information to him if he has questions about homework, telling him to contact him day or night he would respond. Ryan has also availed himself to my student's math teacher. We are very pleased with Ryan and WyzAnt.
Susan W. from Lutz, FL
Ryan is an excellent tutor. Before we even met him he ordered my daughter's textbook so he could prepare sessions tailored to her in-class lessons. Maybe this isn't necessary with all students/subjects but I think it has been helpful for him to have her textbook for this physical science class. He is patient and thorough. He even conducts experiments to illustrate points they are covering.
Dana J. from Tampa, FL
Ryan is amazing! I have so much to say and that is only after 1 session. I am older and have always struggled with "math". After meeting with Ryan, he made me feel comfortable and confident. He is professional and he REALLY knows math. He is helping me with statistics and he has gone above the call of duty. Even before we met, he helped me study for my first test via email over the weekend. It is evident he loves what he does. I work with children and I can tell he would be great with kids and I know from experience that he is fabulous with adults. He is very calm and teaching/helping just seems to come naturally to him. He listens to your concerns and formats your session according to your learning style. He doesn't make your feel rushed and is very patient. I can't say enough positive things about this tutor. I do not recommend just anybody so it is without reservation that I recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a tutor. He truly makes tutoring a priority and really puts his heart and soul into it. He is extremely intelligent but has a way of speaking to you like you can understand. He is very genuine and down to earth. In summary, I am a fan of his work, work ethic, demeanor, teaching skills and him as a person. He is a huge asset to the WyzAnt community. Thank you, Ryan! I would like to update my original review of Ryan. I am currently meeting with Ryan 3 days a week with at a minimum of 2 hour sessions. If I am not confident with the material or if I have a test coming up I will ask for more days or more hours and Ryan has always made it happen. If he sees that I am struggling with a concept or if I don't seem to be grasping what he is explaining, he will think of a new way to say it or a new diagram to draw to make it clear. Ryan will send me new problems to do or throw in a "pop quiz" on his own time via email. He has taken time to make flow charts to better understand the material. He is truly a gem and so very thankful that I found him. Finally, he is responsible for helping me bring my second test score up 2 letter grades from the first one. Thank you Ryan!!!!

It's hard to express how much Ryan has improved my confidence and abilities with math. He always takes great care not only to make sure that I understand my homework but he actually teaches each subject from the ground up and fills in any important things that I'm missing. He truly has a knack for helping someone see why a certain answer is the right or wrong answer. If I struggle with something, he keeps trying different angles until I get it. Then he tests me over time to make sure that I really understand and remember it. I originally hired him to help me with algebra but he has been a huge life saver for both my math and science classes. He is more than a great tutor, he's a great teacher! Can't thank him enough.

Ryan is an amazing Statistics tutor. He is very patient and will go out of his way to help you succeed. He is very flexible with scheduling sessions.
Michael L. from Thonotosassa, FL
Ryan has done an outstanding job with just a handful of lessons so far in building our son's confidence in Math. To be able to see our son not dread his math work is more than we could ask for! Thanks Ryan!

Amjad A. from Tampa, FL
Mr. Ryan is the best tutor ever. He does an excellent job of making math easier and explaining concepts in ways that are easier to understand. He's very helpful and always available to answer all your questions while and after his session. He really makes difficult topics easy to understand and as well as gives you extra practice to make sure you understand the topic. I highly recommend him!!!
Sabrina R. from Spring Hill, FL
I have a college algebra course that I must pass in order to finish nursing school, and Ryan has been incredibly helpful in going through a tremendous amount of material in a very short amount of time! He is fantastic at explaining concepts that would otherwise be overwhelming. I would highly recommend him as a tutor!
Jessica C. from Land O Lakes, FL
Ryan is extremely knowledgeable and can help you with any problems. He is great at explaining so you are able to understand. Definitely would recommended to anyone needing math help.
Rachel C. from Oldsmar, FL
We have used Ryan for our 15 year old son that was failing math. The start of the tutoring was rough but not because of Ryan. It was because my son was having issues retaining the information. We have seen a turn around due to Ryan and his attentiveness to my sons needs. We are so thankful that we stumbled across WyzAnt and found Ryan! We look forward to many more lessons.
