Ian does a great job with our middle school son and the new education experiences and subjects. He has really helped with his overall academics, key knowledge of subjects, continued positive progress and improved grades, and studying skills and good practice habits.
Ian is fantastic! He did biweekly pre calculus zoom sessions with my daughter and she consistently scored high on her class tests and quizzes. Highly recommended The Learning Shack!
Thanks Coryn! Your daughter was great to work with and so proud of her effort and results!!
My son had a great experience with Ian in preparing for the SSAT. Ian helped him understand concepts that he didn’t know before. We are very happy with his test results.
Jane, it was a pleasure working with your son and I’m so happy that he did so well on the SSAT!
Great tutor, helped my son on the ISEE he had a perfect score and Ian helped guide him.
Ian has been a great tutor for me. He was able to tutor me in Math, History, English, and Science. He has tutored me throughout my high school career, which helped me get almost all A’s, with the occasional B. He has also helped me with ACT prep and writing college essays and promised to help me in college. That’s why I would, and have tried to, recommend him to any student who needs help.
Sabastian, it has been an incredible journey working with you over the years, and I am so pleased to watch as you have excelled in all your subjects and AP classes, notching a 4.1+ GPA and scholarship offers to your top college choices! I am excited to see what the future holds for you and always enjoy working together.
Ian helped our son prepare for his ACT. He was thorough, flexible, and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend him.
Thanks Jaime-- it has been a pleasure working with you guys!
Ian is the best tutor!
Ian has been a tremendous help for my two high school sons with several different subjects- math, sciences, Spanish, etc. My boys now feel confident to tackle tests and assignments with ease. I highly recommend Ian.
This place was referred to by one of my friends. My son came here for help studying for the ACT. Not only did the one on one tutoring help raise his scores up to the 34s to 36s, Ian, his tutor, was very supportive and friendly in helping him review his questions and reviewing ones he got wrong. Definitely would recommend to another friend!
I appreciate your feedback and enjoyed helping your son prepare for the ACT exam and raise his ACT test scores to 35's and 36's! We are happy to help with Calculus, chemistry, writing, or any other subjects in the future!
Outstanding service and experience! We can't thank Ian enough for all his time and patience with my daughter. We were desperate to get her help before her Honors Chemistry final. He accommodated us TWICE with almost no notice! He was patient and his explanations were clear and improved her understanding! She performed outstandingly on her final! Highly recommend! Will be using again!
Thanks so much for your awesome feedback!! I'm so glad your daughter found the Honors Chemistry tutoring helpful and that she did so well on her final! Looking forward to helping you guys with ACT prep or anything else you need!
