"Hi there!!

I'm Ian, an educator with 20 years of experience, and come from a family of teachers!! I have worked with thousands of elementary, secondary and university students to help them achieve their academic goals. I passed my CBEST with a perfect score and started teaching privately after 2 years of teaching SAT Test Prep and GMAT Test Prep classes for a well-known test prep company. Since then I have enjoyed mentoring students and helping them realize their academic and extracurricular goals.

What subjects do I teach?

My focus is on test prep, academic tutoring and study skills development. I regularly teach Chemistry/AP Chemistry, SAT and ACT Prep, GMAT Prep, Spanish, SSAT, ISEE, CBEST, Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Pre-Calculus, Econ, and Essay Writing.

What results have my students had over the last 20 years?

Best ACT improvement: 10 points

Best SAT improvement: 600 points

Best ISEE: 99%

Best SSAT: 99%

Best GMAT: 750

Private Schools my students were accepted to: Andover, Choate, Kate, Sage Hill, St. Margaret's, Jserra, and many more!

Colleges my students have been accepted to: Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, UPenn, Georgetown, UCLA, USC, SMU, UofMichigan, and many more!

How do I conduct sessions?

We meet at your house, online, or in a convenient location (this depends on conditions such as Covid-19). I enjoy making the most of every session, ensuring that my students leave feeling that they have received a ton of value from the experience. My clients can get in touch with me very quickly via text to schedule a session or discuss something we are working on remotely together. Having initially worked for larger tutoring companies and later run my own for 20 years, I have a deep understanding of client needs and goals. I make my sessions feel purposeful and fulfilling, yet comfortable, fun, and interesting!

I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!!" less...
