Javier R. from Alexandria, VA
I started tutoring with Tutor Edward B. in March of 2011, and at first I really was not sure what to think (he looked great on paper, great credentials), but how would he be as a one-on-one tutor? For starters he was punctual and knowledgeable, very knowledgeable, and for someone like me who struggled with accounting (statistics, and finance) classes he was the perfect tutor to go over the information that I was having trouble understanding. If you asked him to go over it again, no problem, if you wanted things to go at a little slower pace, no problem. He was there to make sure that you succeeded (and with my last 9 classes ALL of them were either an A or A-.) I attribute the grades to my hard work, and most importantly the tutoring/mentoring help that Tutor Edward B. offered. He not only helps you, but motivates you as a tutor and brings out your best qualities as a hard working successful student. The reason I had not written such a review previously is because I wanted to make sure that I received my B.S. in International Business (December 2012) prior to writing a review like this one. I needed Tutor Edward B. to help me through to the end... and he did! He will do the same for another student that needs help as well (particularly in classes related to Finance, Statistics, Accounting, International Business, Strategic Management and more.) He is very helpful and works at the pace that I can learn the material. He is able to explain things in such a way that you end up understanding the material very well. I am very happy with the results. If you are looking for one of the best tutors that Wyzant has to offer look no further than Tutor Edward B., I promise you will not be disappointed. Regards, Javier

Stephanie C. from Waldorf, MD
Pursuing an MBA has been quite a challenge for me since I have been out of my comfort zone of the nursing profession. However I must admit engaging Edward as my tutor has made all the difference in completing this degree within the next three weeks. He has been an excellent tutor in helping me with both my accounting and finance classes. He possess strong analytical skills and able to interpret facts and figures while being creative in solving problems. He communicates effectively and precisely when bridging the gap and helping me to understand complex business problems. He is truly among the brightest professionals I've ever had the opportunity to work in completing my program.

Edward B is a wonderfully calm and dedicated individual with impeccable credentials and a wonderful knack of making complicated subject matter seem very simple to understand. He is very flexible in his schedule and allows the student to relate to him and feel comfortable with his methods of teaching.

My son has become more energized in his studies and Edward B. has instilled in him great confidence. I would highly recommend Edward B as a teacher.

Ed was very helpful throughout our tutoring session for operations management. He was very easy to get in contact with. Explained thoroughly upon how to get to the answer so the student can master the concepts or steps used to get to an answer. Very good tutor, highly recommended, and would use again!
Oindrila B. from Reston, VA
My daughter has been very satisfied with how thoroughly Mr. Edward explains the concepts and applications of Economics. He has also been very flexible with class timings and has always responded quickly and positively to our requests for changes in dates and timings of class due to a clash with another activity. We hope that he will continue to tutor my daughter for her AP Micro and Macro Economics classes and prepare her for the AP exams in May 2013.

When we contacted Ed about tutoring statistics for my son, he was failing his class. Ed worked with him weekly, and my son was able to improve his grade substantially by the end of the quarter. Edward B. is patient, very knowledgeable, punctual, flexible, and communications are easy.
Amanda I. from Odenton, MD
I had a deadline for a quiz, Edward was very quick and proficient in tutoring me. He was also patient if I didn't understand anything, and best of all did a tutoring session with me on a last minute notice!
Moraeme P. from Washington, DC
Due to my work and family life, it is challenging to get in the amount of personal study time that is required to do well in Accounting. However, with the help of my tutor, I was able to keep up with the material and do well on my assignment. The tutor understands the theory and practicum of all levels in Accounting. He is also able to explain the theory and assignments in laymen terms. At the conclusion of each session, I feel empowered and motivated to continue studying Accounting at the Master level.
Sara A. from Vienna, VA
Edward is a very patient and helpful tutor. His schedule is flexible, so it won't be hard to plan sessions around your classes or work schedule. He is very respectful and will explain whatever you're having trouble with until it makes sense to you. He helps with a variety of subjects and is very knowledgeable in all of them. He really helped me improve my grades and I definitely recommend him!
Hatoun A. from Mc Lean, VA
Ed has been a great tutor, helping me through my struggle of understanding economics and how it applies to policy issues. What my professor has lacked in the classroom, Ed has made topics and exercises easy to understand and follow in just as little as one session.
Youssouf O. from Annandale, VA
In the midst of my panic in statistics, Edward B. brought me from darkness to light. Passionate and skillful to make complex things accessible, Edward built in me the confidence and the knowledge needed to line up with A+ students. I appreciate how flexible, patient, committed and caring Edward is. Edward adapted his teaching style to my level and steadily led me to the best of myself in statistics. The bitter statistics became sweet and the light ignited in me is still shining. As Plutarch stated, “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited." Edward is the "go to" person I strongly recommend to those who want their mind to be ignited.
Alla L. from Centreville, VA
Ed has a great understanding and memory of history and was able to thoroughly explain any questions or problems I had. He was completely prepared and well-versed in all of the terms and events I needed help with and often related topics to present day to further my understanding. What was really great was that he told an interesting story rather than just listing off dates and people. After the lesson, I felt much more stable in my history and was better able to view the big picture.
Kirsten B. from Washington, DC
We called for last minute help for our son to prep for a macroeconomics test. Ed responded quickly and made great use of his two hour session to reinforce key concepts and give our son the confidence for this exam.
Pam F. from Milton , MA
We were looking for a good, patient tutor for our college student who has significant learning disabilities. Ed did a terrific job of helping him through a demanding statistics curriculum AND a microeconomics course curriculum (yes, my son decided to take two tough courses over the summer....). Ed was flexible in terms of time and length of the sessions, which was critical to my son's success. The outcome was great thanks to Ed's help; my son received a B and a C in courses that may well have been impossible for him to complete when carrying a full course load during the academic year.
Brian Y. from Woodbridge, VA
Ed is simply magnificent. He has a great demeanor and wonderful approach to teaching. This most recent lesson was a three hour marathon in preparation for my first stat quiz. He was able to add to my understanding tremendously.
Mah A. from Beverly Hills, CA
Learned Macroeconomics concepts and went through questions.Talked about US economy and history and how that's applicable. Thank you.
Yvette H. from Fredericksburg, VA
Edward was very helping with me identifying the formula for calculating the present and future value of a bond. also identifying the dividends of future payments and current payments for the stock value.
Michele C. from Woodbridge, VA
He was very upbeat and did very well with the check on learning/ understanding. We covered a great deal of information and it made sense.
Laura P. from Burke, VA
Edward helped me to understand and apply concepts like intrinsic value, calculation of free cash flow, terminal value and unleveraged Beta. Edward always makes sure that you have understood the material. He is very patient. I really enjoyed his lesson.
