“I got 92% in the exam!! I am so happy. You are the best tutor there is! I owe so much to you because I would have completely flopped this course if it wasn’t for your help. Thank you so much. – MB (Advanced Engineering Maths Student, London)”

“I got an excellent exam result which I’m really pleased with. The tutoring did a lot of good so thanks! Most importantly my understanding of the subjects was much improved and not just my exam technique.”- JR (Physics Student, London)

“I passed all my exams and got a 2:1 in both maths modules! Thank you again for your tutor session – it was invaluable. – ES (Physics Student, London)”

“Ian was very helpful during my first year at university studying Physics. Having struggled to cope in the first term, I started tuition in term two, and he very quickly helped me catch up with the course, giving me a more thorough understanding of the topics by starting at a conceptual level and building from there. Thanks to Ian, I was able to get through my first year, and pick up good grades in a couple exams, which puts me in a good position for year two!” – TF (Physics Student, London)

“After a recent trip from New York to London during my university’s spring break, I had the pleasure of working with Ian on the principles of electric potential, currents, resistance, capacitance, and the nature of circuits in general. When I arrived in London, I had a mediocre understanding of the aforementioned at best (my professor moves very quickly), and felt overwhelmed by the thought of the looming exam the week I was due back in NY. Nonetheless, I was intent on enjoying myself in London, and sticking to the leisurely agenda I had set for myself. Given this objective, I had modest expectations for what would really come out of a few hours per day of tutoring, and viewed the hours more as a way of maintaining knowledge rather than expanding it. And how pessimistic I was! In the end, I left the UK feeling beyond prepared for the exam that awaited me, and my results on the exam confirmed that preparation. Thank you Ian for the time you have clearly dedicated to devising ways of making complex material palatable for first year students. Your teaching style is relaxed and patient, yet devoted and with purpose. Keep up the good work!” – BC (Physics Student, New York)

“I sought Dr Ian’s assistance and expertise in hope of gaining the knowledge and further understanding of key concepts in preparation for a very important final exam. Although we did not have much time before the exam date, Dr. Ian’s great knowledge and extensive expertise really assisted in my overall understanding of many issues that I had extreme difficulty with. There were some concepts that I have been taught quite a few times, yet failed to understand, however, with Dr Ian’s unique teaching techniques, I was able to fully understand and apply these concepts that I previously found quite challenging. After being taught by Dr Ian, I have complete faith, that at times it’s not the concept, but how it’s being taught that makes the real difference in how far and well you actually understand it. He was extremely supportive and continuously encouraged me to think and rethink some ideas that we had covered. Thanks to his time and assistance, I successfully passed the exam we had prepared for and I know that he will be the tutor I turn to if I face any other future challenges in my studies.” – AA (Engineering Student, London)

“You got me from a low 2nd to a high 1st in the space of one-hour. Made problems much clearer and easier to understand and would recommend for anyone looking for help improving their chances in doing well in their exams.” – JM (Maths Student, Leeds)

“I am very pleased with my result. Ian is a amazing tutor and thanks for his tuition.” – RL (Maths and Statistics Student, London)

“I really appreciate the lessons from Dr. Ian. He is able to convey complicated concepts in succinct manner that I can fully understand. After his teaching, I was able to apply those concepts in my third-year operational research project in investment portfolio. I successfully achieved a first-class grade for that project, which would not be possible without Ian’s help. His guidance also helped me achieve first-class honours for my Bachelor degree. I highly recommend his tutorial service for anyone who aims high and wants to achieve better results.” (Maths & Statistics Student, London School of Economics)
