Best Teacher I have ever had
Ian is an incredibly skilled programming tutor. Over the course of 4 months, he was able to take me from never having written a line of code to building full-scale games using Javascript. He is extremely intuitive and able to convey complex concepts in a simple and straightforward manner. Without Ian's instruction, I never would have reached the level I am at today. As I progressed in my coding journey to learn more complex languages and write more complex programs I continually reference the mental models he helped me build. I will be forever grateful!
Knowledgeable and kind tutor
Ian helped me with a project from my web development class and gave me the encouragement to pursue my dreams of becoming a web developer.
Ian helped me learn!
Ian was very patient and helped me understand some core concepts I was struggling with. He not only knows Javascript very well, but he knows how to teach, which is a rare thing to find!
Ian is a great teacher!
He really makes learning code fun and is working at a pace my kids can handle. So far my kids have come out very happy after their lessons! Thank you so much!!!
Kind and very approachable!
Ian has been a wonderful tutor! He is skilled at explaining Javascript concepts in very relatable terms. We were able to cover higher-order functions, Closures, “this”, JS Objects, REST APIs and much more in our three lessons together. I look forward to working with him in the future when I get stuck!
Excellent Tutor
Just had my first hour session with Ian. Out of the six or seven tutors I've booked through Wyzant to teach me JavaScript, Ian was the best. Every tutor I've had knew their stuff, but JS expertise and being able to articulate and transmit concepts are entirely different skill sets. Ian has both. Already booked him for two more hours.
Excellent tutor, patient, and very knowledgable about HTML & CSS
I needed help with responsive web design for my HTML and CSS homework. I would not have been able to get through without Ian's help. We worked on the requirements for my homework in addition he showed me how to fix social media sprites and other things I didn't know about. Thanks!
Wow this guy knows his stuff!
Ian is really good at explaining things and has incredible knowledge of JavaScript and web development. He was able to answer all of my questions about the things I have been learning about in my coding bootcamp, and about what skills are useful in todays job market. Looking forward to more lessons!
10/10
Ian is clearly experienced in internet application development. We covered DOM and JavaScript. Honestly Ian has taught me JavaScript better than some of my undergrad professors. Ian provided solid tips and tricks for handling functions and logic within JavaScript. Would definitely recommend Ian to anyone wanting to learn how to make a websites come to life.
Helped with JavaScript Node
Needing help with an assignment that included Node which I was not familiar with, and Ian always helps me better understand the concepts. Thanks for the help, Ian.
Very knowledgable and helpful
Ian is very knowledgable in both front and back end development, and was extremely thorough in going through everything I needed to work on. He helped explain things as he was going, and didn't mind answering any questions I had. Would definitely recommend if you need help with front or back end, specifically if you are designing something gaming-related.
Ian is the best!
We reviewed QA methodologies and best practices. Ian was super helpful with offering insight into various software development processes and how the role of QA can be defined within those processes.
Experienced tutor who can really simplify difficult concepts!
I recently got accepted into General Assembly's Web Development immersive course. Although I have some previous experience with HTML and CSS, I have no experience with Javascript whatsoever. Trying to understand Javascript on my own was like reading in a foreign language that I don't know, which it basically is, and that drove me crazy. I was honestly panicking prior to having a session with Ian. Ian took difficult concepts and explained them in a way that resonated with me and made me understand them in simpler terms. One thing he taught me that REALLY resonated with me is using comments when you're writing out your code. It helps you remember what each segment of code's function is so that as you're coding you won't get lost or forget what each segment of code does. Definitely looking forward to working with him again!
Very good fit for what I want to learn.
I have been wanting to learn game development for quite a while. Ian helped point me in the right direction while considering my skill sets and goals. He was able to jump right in with appropriate material that was both on level and refreshed my skills while introducing a few new concepts. We were able to develop appropriate homework for me to study what we went over and to progress to the next level.
Learned more in one lesson than all my other programming courses combined
There was not one question Ian couldn’t answer! Super knowledgeable, patient, and didn’t even mind that I was totally directionless and unprepared.
Fantastic
Aside from having a great bedside manner (funny, patient, etc...), Ian's real skill seems to be helping people learn HOW to think. I think a lot of online courses just teach you what to do, but not why (or in Ian's words “WHEN”) to do it. Def will be hitting him up again.
A natural born teacher!
Ian is passionate about programming and knows his stuff. He happily assisted me with my JavaScript homework, when the actual class tutor was of no help. Ian's love of JavaScript really comes through and he was able to show me the most concise method to program form validations.
Outstanding, knowledgeable, patient and flexible
Ian is highly personable. He is willing to help even beyond the constraints of the hour lesson. He really cares that the student understands the concepts and isn't just following along. Teaches in a very active way.
Great lesson
Ian is very knowledgeable and personable. Will definitely meet up again. I learned more about object oriented vs procedural programming and took some stuff away with me to try at home.
Solid lesson
Ian explained the logic behind common methods in functional programming in a way that enabled me to grasp the topic more on my own.
JavaScript Guru - Exceptional Tutor
I spent some time contacting various tutors with JavaScript expertise. I had a list of projects that many people did not feel comfortable creating or pursuing with me. When I contacted Ian he was prompt in his response and confident in his abilities. I proceeded with my first lesson on 06/15/2017. I could not have been happier. Ian displayed significant in depth knowledge of JavaScript and did a fantastic job explaining 'this', objects and prototypes, along with helping me find a solution to displaying a winner for tic tac toe. I have subscriptions to pluralsight, lynda, several udemy courses and various books on the topic. Ians explanation surpassed all of my previous online teachers and courses within 60 minutes. I now have a much better understanding on object oriented programming and more of the tricky concepts JavaScript has to offer. I will be using Ian as my JavaScript tutor from now on. He was responsive, very knowledgeable, professional, and extremely easy to communicate with. Thanks Ian! I appreciate your help in JavaScript. Looking forward to our future lessons!
Ian is an excellent teacher that provides in-depth knowledge of subject matter!
I needed some help working through some tricky and tough JavaScript challenge problems. Ian was patient with me as I tried to figure out each step but he also offered guidance along the way. He was just the boost I needed to complete the final parts of my assignment. He also helped me with a few other JavaScript/HTML problems where we broke down the steps to complete them, as well as what to avoid. Highly recommend!
Fosters a “best learning practices” environment , extremely knowledgeable on subjects
Ian’s teaching style is fantastic...a true educator, that can identify what you need to work on before continuing to the next step or lesson... he will ensure that you are retaining information and will work with you until he feels you are grasping the concepts, but nevertheless he will challenge you to work hard
Very knowledgeable and great at explaining the process and why
I have worked with Ian on HTML, CSS and javascript. Ian has an abundance of knowledge on these subjects, but he has a way of explaining it so you understand. I would highly recommend Ian in any aspect of coding from beginners to the most advanced
He really understands
He is Very understanding and patient. I have no background in this area he made me feel very comfortable in my first session today. Looking forward to Fridays session.
Knowledgeable and patient Tutor
Ian taught me some of the basic concepts behind programming. Most importantly, he showed me how to create a projects folder as well as identifying code errors. It was a great experience working with Ian! Would highly recommend Ian for other students out there struggling with coding!
Coding Shakespeare!
Ian, made coding super accessible for me. I am enrolled in a bootcamp and helped me integrate class material. He knew how to answer all of my questions. He is immensely knowledgable and would definitely recommend him to anyone. Look forward to future sessions.
He is awesome!
Ian is super informative and clear with direction. Very personable and knowledgeable on JavaScript. Would recommend him 1000x over. He also is honest and won’t allow you to stray down the wrong path.
Ian was fantastic!
I needed help getting through a final project for a JavaScript class I was taking, Ian was able to explain and clarify things in 1 hr that weeks of training went completely over my head! I 100 percent recommend.
Great teacher!!!
I recently had my first Javascript lesson with Ian to prepare for an upcoming interview. We explored some common strategies for solving technical Javascript problems and also went over some questions that might come up. I feel very confident about my upcoming interview now. I highly recommend him!
Ian knows everything about Javascript.
Ian literally knows everything about Javascript. He helped me with my senior level courses in College. Not really sure what else to say. I loved working with him. Thank you, Ian!!
Focused and extremely relevant knowledge
Web development, html css JavaScript, best web practices. Went over ideation to creation and helped me outline a massive project while explaining key concepts.
Patient and understanding
I was having some problems wrapping my head around some of JavaScript syntax, Ian tried several ways of explaining why, what, and how it's working. We kept at this until not only did this click for me but several other things fell into place. This may seem mild in comparison to other problems that are usually aided with a tutor but this meant so much to me. Understanding something helps you to remember it. Thank you very much Ian. Highly recommend anyone to seek help from Ian.
Knowledgeable and patient
Ian has taught me more about web development than my actual class. He is very patient and thorough. He breaks down the information in methods that help you understand the subject. He cares about your learning not just fulfilling your hour tutor lesson. Definitely a five star tutor.
Fantastic javascript tutorial for my middle school coders
Ian's clarity and knowledge were immensely helpful for my children, who are beginning to code their own games and needed guidance on how to code more efficiently. After just one lesson with Ian, my kids excitedly had a whole new approach to JavaScript and instantly put it to use.
Knowledgeable and Experienced
Ian is very knowledgeable and experienced with front end development. He has a clear teaching style that communicates the lesson across well. I would recommend Ian for any kind of front end development lesson.
great teacher
He has huge experience , he explains well with good examples . I would definitely recommend him to others as a tutor
Knowledgeable, Patient, Friendly
Ian was great! He is helping me learn JavaScript. He is very knowledgeable. He was very patient with my inexperience and sporadic questions. I am very happy. I look forward continuing to work with him.
Very skilled programer
Ian was very knowledgeable not only of JavaScript but of the boot camp program I’m enrolled in. As a result we were able to work through the assignment and get a working app. I will use Ian again in the future.
Knowledgeable, communicative and professional!
Ian is knowledgeable about his fields in a way only seasoned professionals are. Helpful for both syntax types of questions, and more general questions about where to start a project and why. So grateful, thank you!
Knowledgeable and helpful
Very helpful and has made learning JavaScript easier. Definitely hire him! Will continue to utilize for other courses I have in the future. Always on time and dependable.
Ian knows his stuff
Ian helped me prepare for coding boot camp interviews. We covered recursion and some es6 tricks to help me get up to speed. He has more logged JS hours than most tutors.
Helped me graduate!!
Ian was fantastic in all of the meetings we have scheduled. He is very knowledgeable about web design as well as how websites work from a code standpoint. He made everything as easy to understand as possible. He helped me build a website from near start to finish to help me graduate college in my major! I would recommend him to anyone who needs help in web design!
Helpful and knowledgeable tutor
Ian was very helpful when assisting me on my assignment. He walked me through anything that I was unsure of and let me try some different things when I felt like I knew what I was doing but needed to troubleshoot the particular issue to get it to work. Great tutor and I would definitely book with Ian again!
Very intelligent!
Seems like Ian knows everything when it comes to computer science! learned a lot when it comes to NodeJS and Javascript. Also he has a unique view to help make everything more understandable from a real world point of view with development

Ian is THE MAN!
Super patient. Extremely knowledgeable and kind and an EXCELLENT teacher. Highly recommend to anyone who is either advanced or just starting out!
Best tutor on Wyzant.
He is hands down the best tutor on this website. As a former teacher, love his teaching style, but it is his knowledge that makes him stand above all other tutors I have used on Wyzant. Not even close.
Great tutor!
Really helps me learn the core concepts, could not ask for a better tutor. I am in a bootcamp and his method of teaching really helps me keep pace with the course.
Quick and easy
We accomplished my goal is an hour! I’ll certainly schedule more time with this tutor when needed! Tutor was able to help implement and debug with me.
Very knowledgeable and patient
Ian was great to work with. He was patient, kind and really helped me to understand what I was doing. He utilized our time very well. He was able to explain thoroughly in the simplest form so that I can understand! He allowed me to ask as many questions as it took for me to understand what I was doing. He's a very knowledgeable and extremely clear in his instruction. He was awesome to work with. I look forward to continuing to work with him as I progress in my desire towards a full stack developer. Thank you so much, Ian!!
Patient and knowledgeable
Ian helped me greatly with the react quiz I created. He was very helpful and explained things very well. It was very easy for me to follow along with his ways of doing things and the suggestions he provided were excellent.
Fantastic and Professional
I have had several sessions with Ian and am very pleased and impressed with his passion for Computer Science, it's history and generally his love for teaching. I am currently halfway through a FullStack Web-Development Program and while my grade is not an issue, staying ahead is vital and I felt my understanding Javascript was behind. His method and style is both very humble and thorough. He offers context and honest opinions on best practices, good habits, syntax and more and is happy to explain/move at your pace. I am a slow learner and Javascript has been daunting, but I'm slow but surely getting the hang of it through more exposure. I am looking forward to booking more time for instruction and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to either brush up on existing skills or starting from scratch!
Amazing tutor
Ian is a great tutor. He really helped me handle the basics of Javascript, Node, and HTML. His tutoring strikes a good balance, he's able to explain the basics successfully and quickly, and also is able to get the student to put it into practice decently fast. I would definitely recommend him to any students looking for help with Web Development.
Last minute help
Ian was able to book an appointment with me shortly after I made my request which I greatly appreciated! He helped explain a JQuery/HTML/CSS project I was working on. He has a great way of explaining the concepts.
Great tutor!!!!!! Wide knowledge range.
Ian was great, very easy to talk to. He was knowledgeable and was able share his knowledge in a comfortable manner. His demeanor and delivery was awesome. The way he explained why I was having an issue with in my project with js and html, I truly wish he was my fulltime teach / instructor.
Just the input I needed
I'm a technical writer learning how to document REST APIs. I had hit a roadblock with data schemas and Ian provided enough of a developer's perspective to help me move forward. He was also really supportive of my goals and totally understood why I am doing all of this learning. I will definitely book another lesson with Ian should I need more help in this area.
CSS/JavaScript
You should learn something new everyday - I did! Ian taught me some new things about CSS and JavaScript! How to take more control over styling and understanding how it all works together! Thank you!!!!
HTML
He helped me to learn more about Html. He is responsible and care about your learning. He never west your time like other tutors. He know what is he doing and he would get you to the point.
Ian is extremely patient with me even though I have a hard time grasping certain things. Once he explains things I generally catch on. He is very clear and knowledgeable. I like him even more now that I know he’s a history buff like me :)
Ian was a great help on the javascript challenge. He made it so simple with the explanations and also came up with new innovative ideas to help solve the problem. I love his passion for coding and the knowledge he brings to the table.
knowledgable and patient tutor
Ian helped to solidify my knowledge of for loops and arrays. I was also shown several very useful keyboard shortcuts. He was really great at letting me try to solve the problem first and excellent at evaluating when to step in and take the wheel before stress and frustration consumed me. Thanks again, Ian. I look forward to our next lesson!
Great lesson, patient teacher!
Definitely going to go back to Ian with my future projects, highly recommend! Very patient and understood clearly what we needed to get done.
Excellent tutor
Ian is patient and knowledgeable. Listens well and understands and guides gaps in the students knowledge. Explains strategies to enhance student understanding. Extremely helpful,

Fantastic Tutor Highly Recommend!!
Javascript, trying to navigate this new syntax on my own whilst trying to keep up with a fast paced course I knew I needed help! So happy to have found Ian, he took difficult concepts and explained them clearly and in a way that really resonated with me. Definitely looking forward to working with him again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a tutor!!!
Awesome Experience
I loved working with Ian! He is passionate about JavaScript and has a unique perspective on it that is difficult to find these days. We will be continuing our sessions together!
This so much better than what I expected...
I just had my first lesson with Ian and I can't begin to express how relieved I am! I was initially unsure about tutoring because I was unsure how helpful it would be. But man, Ian completely exceeded my expectations! I'm a few months into coding and I am in the middle of preparing for an extremely challenging boot camp (whose standards seem to be higher than many others...) I've been studying like crazy for the last couple months and I got through the basics on my own. But I'm still a little fuzzy on recursion and closures. Ian was completely prepared to help me all of the coding syntax/technicalities as well as helping me grasp how to break down the specifics of how to approach certain kinds problems. He is he is extremely intelligent as well as experienced.
Deal breaking, game changing, coding machine!!!!!
Ian taught me about the fundamentals behind the reasoning of coding. Running through a coding boot camp can be extremely difficult as a first time coder. They show you how to input problems but don't really explain the “why” behind the problems you are inputting. Ian has great analogies that help you understand how and the “why” factor. I highly recommend for anyone who needs that fundamental understanding and the advanced understanding. Ian is charismatic, patient, entertaining, and just very knowledgeable when it comes to JavaScript. A well rounded tutor that I look forward to many more sessions with.
Awesome guy!
Has helped me more then I could ever say. Shows me how to do things which helps me learn. Definitely an amazing tutor.
I’m currently in a coding Bootcamp and Ian has been helping me stay caught up with the fast paced curriculum. I have a much better understanding of the material and plan to meet with Ian the remainder of the course. Highly recommend!
Fantastic tutor!
Ian explained complicated features in CSS in a way that finally made sense to me. I feel so much more confident in where I am headed there and I will be scheduling more lessons with him.
Very helpful and knowledgeable tutor
Ian helped me with padded json and explained the best practices of writing html and js files. Definitely recommend him!
Knowledgeable and patient tutor!
Ian was very helpful, and answered my questions regarding javascript concepts that had been pain points of mine. He was patient and thorough, explaining the steps as we went along to make things easily understandable.
Great JavaScript knowledge
Helped me learn what I needed quickly. I had several different categories of issues with JavaScript and he helped fill in the gaps of my understanding. Great tutor and I really appreciated that it was important to him that I understood the material completely.
Excellent Tutor!
Ian is awesome teacher that he knows the background / history of the JavaScript. When I have questions, he always gives me answers with good explanations until I understand. He is also patient that he goes over one line by one line when I don't understand the code what's going on. I like the fact that he is also so very calm. I feel almost zen when I take his lesson. :) Thank you, Ian!
Helper and patient tutor
When I ask him a question, he try to help me and he try to do by my self too. You have a question any time he is happy always. Always one hour is short for me. Thank You lan.
Excellent tutor!
We got a great amount done, far more than I thought I would, and I learned so much! Ian was fantastic and extremely helpful and I am very glad to have worked with him.
Quick and Knowledgeable
Ian really knows a lot about web programming. He quickly picked up on issues I was having with a project and addressed them confidently. I've already scheduled another session with him.
Excellent
I got a very low level look at how modern web technologies work and how they talk to each other. I would absolutely recommend Ian - a fantastic tutor by any measure.
Helped me out with HTML and what to expect in my field
Ian was very helpful with expanding my knowledge on HTML. I had a few confidence issues on what I can and can not do, and he made me realize that most of what I thought was possible with HTML is actually possible. He was a great and knowledgeable tutor! I would highly Recommend!
5 Stars
He helped me resolve an ancient JavaScript API app with a very laid back and knowledgeable approach. The app was so ancient and I didn’t know if he remembered as much but he’s that good.
Unbelievably Helpful
Guided me through a project while helping me understand key concepts in an extremely efficient manner. Knows programming inside and out, yet still is okay teaching students with marginal programming knowledge. I would recommend Ian to any aspiring programmer attempting to learn or working on a project.
Extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Ian was able to help me through some JavaScript that I was bumfuzzled by and taught me some new concepts along the way such as querySelector, template strings, & for-of loops. I will gladly reach out to Ian if I run into other issues going forward.
JavaScript problem
Ian was most helpful with a JavaScript problem I had. I was unable to fix it my self and he patiently helped me through the problem while teaching me what I should be doing going forward.
conventional and technical
Ian approached the problem from many sides, and provided a technical solution. He explained the problem in a very simplistic yet technical terms. He went beyond and above his responsibility and really drove home some very important concept
great tutor
Ian is very patient, and really knows javascript. He is great at explaining the concept I am working on so that I can understand it.
This Tutor's in Demand for a Reason
Ian was awesome! Knowledgeable and skilled/experienced, he gave me some cool tips, calmly and clearly explained concepts and pulled up simplified coding examples to help me with my project. I still have a lot of work to do and much more to learn, but I found him encouraging as far as my exciting future prospects of mastery were concerned. I am so glad I found him on Wyzant!
Javascript tutor
Ian M was awesome! He helped me accomplish a difficult college JavaScript assignment. He was very knowledgeable, patient, through. For first time in the semester I felt comfortable understanding some JavaScript. He took time to make sure I understand each part of what he was doing with the code. With his help I'm one step closer to graduating with a bachelors degree. I would definitely recommend him for anybody needing help with JavaScript. I certainly would use him again. Thank so much for your awesome help!
Very good tutor.
Very good at explaining what the code I was working on was doing and what it should be doing. I would definitely call on Ian again for tutoring. I recommend his service.
He’s the best
The best professor!!! Really knows his stuff! He tutored my assignments hand by hand and the importance thing is he’s willing to solve the problem with you!!
Best tutor of all time!!!
Ian is the best! Coming from a psychology background, anything computer related is super intimidating to me. Ian does an amazing job breaking everything down into simple terms and is very thorough. Highly recommend! So excited to schedule more lessons with him.
One of a kind. See for yourself. Great tutor.
html/css
Ian is great he knows his stufff. He helped me understand a class project I had dealing with html and css.
Very helpful tutor
Ian helped me with JavaScript a lot. He’s very patient and explains everything in simple, easy to understand terms He helped me with theory and some coding. Definitely recommend him.
I always learn so much from Ian!
Ian has tutored me through a graduate course that has been incredibly frustrating with little to no contact or feedback from my instructor. Since I first reached out to Ian, he has helped me with Javascript, HTML, CSS, Leaflet, and D3. He is patient, extremely knowledgeable in Javascript, and will happily work through any bit of code you are stuck on. I learn so much in a 1 hour session with Ian than I ever could with course modules. Looking forward to the next session! Thank you, Ian!
Feeling great!
Ian was so patient and helpful with a project I was working on. Even though it included some material he wasn't familiar with and required following certain restrictive rules, he was able to break each issue down step by step and help me resolve them. It was great working as a team and having a person to directly communicate with. I learned a few new things and solidified concepts that I was already familiar with. I will definitely use Ian again next time I get stuck!
Great for learning information
Ian is a wonderful tutor who can explain a lot outside of what you learn in a bootcamp. Great for additional information.
Absolutely phenomenal teacher
One of the best teachers yet, phenomenal experience. Extremely patient and I would work with him over and over again! Very kind and easy to ask questions, explains in the best way possible.
Very knowledgeable tutor
Ian was able to help me out, and understand javascript a little better. After finding myself stuck for a while, he was able point out the mistakes I was making and how to rectify them. Will most definitely use again if I find myself stuck.
Gives you the need to know
I learned more from Ian in an hour than 8 hours with another mentor from my online school. He takes the time to explain and allows you to discuss what you don’t understand. I would Highly recommend a session with Ian!!
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Ian helped me finish up my program. He is excellent in finding small issues. He also explain some behavior I was not understanding. I submitted my project after our session and it passed all elements. Thank you, Ian!!
Insightful and engaged
Ian helped me with an assignment on games using javascript and jquery (as part of my bootcamp's instructions) while also giving me valuable insight on the bigger picture and their relevance to the perpetually updating programming world. Patiently showed me the purpose of each function we worked on, step by step, as well as their relation to the entire setup. I'm really only a few weeks into programming and in spite of that he made it really clear to me how some of these complex systems work.
Knowledgeable, Great Tutor
Ian is very knowledgeable. He was able to quick identify the Javascript issues I was having in the code. He offered great advice on how to make the code more structurally consistent. I recommend!
Great Tutor
Ian has been teaching me JavaScript for over a year now and he's great at it! I make an appointment with him whenever I am stuck on my project. He's available on short notice, usually the next day. He's great at helping me analyze whatever coding problem I'm having and recommending various solutions. His deep understanding of JavaScript and programming languages in general have been hugely helpful!
Great!
My 17-year-old daughter said that Ian was absolutely great: she had specific things she needed to learn in Javascript, and Ian was fantastic! If she needs more help, we'll definitely contact him for another lesson!
Ian is an excellent tutor who explains everything well and in a way you can understand the subject. He is patient, super nice, intelligent and fun. Highly recommend using him as a tutor.
Helped me to understand jquery slider plugin
Ian taught me the basics of structure in creating a jquery slider. When several libraries did not work, he created the code that we needed so that I could implement the successful slider for my portfolio site. Very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly.
Awesome teacher, very in depth understanding of concepts and programming.
I had my first session with Ian today and he was very good at explaining concepts and syntax to me. I’ll definitely be setting up more sessions with him!
Ian is great.
This is all I have to say: Ian is great. Hit him up. You're in good hands.
Raises the Vail of Mystery
Why the Vail of Mystery? Ian is excellent at communicating concepts in easy to comprehend language and examples. He demonstrates everything from a fundamental standpoint so that you can follow him easily. He is also great at bringing clarity to concepts by walking you through the steps so that you can identify those steps that are stumbling blocks for you. I totally recommend Ian, especially if you are beginner like me, because he covers everything in uncomplicated, easy to understand language. Ian was immensely helpful in correcting my misperceptions and ensuring I used the correct vocabulary for the subject. You cannot go wrong with Ian as your tutor.

Awesome tutor!!
I am so grateful that I found Ian and started taking tutoring sessions with him 2x a week. He clearly and thoroughly explains concepts , gives great examples and always has great problem sets to work through during each section. He has helped keep me accountable for my practice and I feel inspired to continue learning. He is also pretty funny and makes the session enjoyable. 5 stars!
Very Knowledgeable and experienced tutor
He taught me some basic coding functions. Explained IFFE and the this keyword. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I look forward to the next session.
Makes Javascript easy to understand and applicable
Ian is easy to talk to and makes Javascript easy to understand and how it works in real world business situations. Coding to me is more than just learning theory but also how it is applied in a real world situation. Ian helped me understand that application.
Exactly what I needed
Ian delivered. We chose one aspect of my project to address and he helped me produce a bit of Javascript functionality which was exactly what I had envisioned using clean, simple code that works. Can't ask for better than that.
The best of the best!!!
Had a great experience with Ian. He is Very knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. As someone new to programming he made me feel comfortable and wasn’t judgmental. He inspired me to keep learning. Will most definitely look to him for continued help.
Highly professional, experienced and very patient with tech newcomers
Ian definitely lived up to all of his great reviews. I was hoping to get a tutor that could explain things in Layman's terms and Ian did just that. Apparently I am learning some things that are somewhat outdated or not as relevant today as they once were but Ian still took the time to explain how it all functions. I am one of those slow learners when it comes to programming so Ian was everything I expected and then some. I highly recommend him for any type of student!
Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and fun!
Ian helps me complete all sorts of projects and, I learn a lot in the process. The other day, we converted a Caesar shift code from Python into JavaScript. There was an error with the algorithm, but Ian ended up taking some time on his own to work on it and figure it out! Very helpful.
Better than my actual teacher!
Ian helped me with an assignment I was struggling with for my online web development class! His explanation on Ajax and async calls were way clearer than my own teachers!
awesome!
Thanks Ian! Provided Great insight on the new ways to use JavaScript for web applications. Will definitely use it again in the future.
Great to get advice on how to tackle a particular complex idea
Ian helped me understand the problem I'm attempting to solve. He brought up a new angle that is interesting and also helped me understand what processes need to take place. I have a clearer picture now and have clear starting points. Thanks!
Patient and knowledge able
I had a great session with Ian. He was patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I utilized him to help me code javascript and jquery for a Web Application development class.

Fantastic tutor
Today, I had my first HTML & CSS lesson with Ian and I enjoyed it very much. Ian was very knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to many more lessons with him.
Incredibly knowledgable and patient
It's kind of baffling how, after I finished my 2nd lesson with Ian, I realized how much FUN I'd had during our hour. Not only did he help me finish a project, and finish it above the standards I had expected, but he made it genuinely enjoyable while doing so. Can't recommend him enough.
Knowledgeable and intuitive Tutor
As someone new to learning Javascript, I found Ian to be a fantastic teacher. He explained the concepts I was struggling with in multiple ways, while patiently waiting for that spark of understanding to happen. He is calm, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Ian.
Very engaged, skilled, and perceptive tutor.
Ian is teaching my 12-year-old JavaScript. My son could not be more into it. Ian has figured out the best way to teach him while also letting him figure things out himself.
Responsive, easy to work with and knowledgeable
Ian was very responsive to setting up a tutoring appointment to tutor me on-line that day when I really needed it. He explained things to me that I had been struggling with in web design and immediately helped me move forward.
Ian's the best.
Ian never fails to provide superb instruction. He provides thorough explanation and uses real world examples to enhance learning. I have learned a great deal so far.
Ian is highly knowledgeable and skilled in JavaScript. He is likewise an excellent communicator and is able to break down the most complex topics yup manageable units! I'd recommend him to anyone who is trying to least JavaScript!
Helped me solve a problem other tutors had given up on
I've been struggling with an error in my code for weeks now and other online tutors I have contacted have not been able to figure it out. Ian was able to solve my problem in an hour. I am so grateful!
Ian is AWESOME
Ian was a major help with my node.js homework. the assignment was a real pain in the neck and he was patient and insightful. He also taught me that reverse engineering is an essential skill in learning any computer language. He is sensitive to the circumstances of his student. He meets them on their level and speaks in terms they can understand. He helped me on my way to completing and extremely difficult assignment for beginners. his coding knowledge will surely go a long way in my education.
Ian was great, easy to work with. He helped me work through some java script issues by walking me through some problems in my code and showed me the best methods to fix them and left me with notes. Will definitely use his help in the future.
Very knowledgeable - great at helping beginners
I came into these lessons having only a very basic understanding of JavaScript and programming in general. Ian has been great at explaining basic computer science concepts that gives context to the nuances in the language. I've had him explain theoretical concepts as well as practical changes to code I've written and he's been equally helpful in both situations.
Well-versed in current scripting
During help with a project that included a timer and a form with various alerts, Ian presented information on more up-to-date scripting practices than were offered in my course, including the background and reasoning behind the newer methods.
Ian is an Incredible Tutor
Ian and I spent approximately 30 minutes going over a difficult JavaScript problem that I needed a second set of eyes on. I have been writing JavaScript code for over 2 years, and Ian immediately was able to pick up on areas of my code that I could optimize and presented me with multiple ideas to improve the overall performance of my functions. Not only is Ian obviously well trained, but he's also extremely easy to communicate with, and conveys his ideas with clarity. I would highly recommend Ian for anyone at any level of experience who needs help improving their JavaScript.
Computer Science IS Review: Patient, passionate and calm
Ian was patient, passionate and calm. He addressed my questions in a way that made me feel like I knew what I was talking about by asking those questions. I would highly recommend Ian and look forward to meeting when I have more computer questions.
Amazing Tutor!
Ian is very knowledgeable and adaptable to helping me construct my website. I highly recommend him to anyone with questions regarding web design/development. (Javascript, PHP, html, css).
great tutor!
Ian was very patient and helpful, and walked me through many very difficult JavaScript problems. We discussed specific concepts and applied them to problems, and I definitely learned new things.
Good Tutor would recommend!
Ian was very knowledgeable and patient during our session. He essentially broke down Javascript terms and simplified them for me. The only issue with the lesson was that I could not hear him during the session but that was on my end and even then he was able to work around that and type responses to my questions. Would definitely recommend!
Awesome instructor!
Had trouble with a JavaScript project. Ian did a great job aiding me whenever I ran into difficulties by explaining the solution in an understanding manner. Task completed and learned a lot.
Patient tutor
Ian helped me with an online JavaScript course. I am a beginner, so he was able to help me understand some of the informational gaps that are not so easily covered through an online course.
Smart, patient and an excellent communicator
Ian is a fantastic tutor who in just one session taught me a lot about both the basic architecture of a javascript program and how to improve its cosmetic appearance. Very patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Knowledgeable, clear communicator, listens
I've had two lessons with Ian and I've signed up for more. He listened to the roadblocks I was I experiencing and not only helped me understand how to approach solving the problems but how to approach solving this kind of problem. He created a learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and going over steps I didn't understand. During these lessons, we looked at nested for loops, reformatting nested arrays into an array of objects, and we touched on solving the same or similar problems using recursion.
Ian helped me understanding computer science concepts. Specifically walked me through my php file, patiently explained every line and every character and symbols in that line. I got the explanation which I didn't get from my professor. Great tutor! very knowledgeable!
Extremely helpful!
Great tutor, really helped me get a lot done in a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend him. Very helpful, arrived on time, got straight to work.
Good tutor
learned alot at a smooth pace, he really knows the material and can dumb down the material if u dont understand it, which proves that he really knows what he is talking about
Knowledgable and patient tutor
Ian is a really great tutor. He is always really patient when he solves a problem with you. He goes through the problem step by step and explains it in a way that is really easy for me to understand. He is also really knowledgable. I would highly recommend Ian for anyone!
Great teacher
Very knowledgeable and has an understanding about how the mind learns. Explained concepts I had been struggling with for a while and helped me get past those barriers. Thanks, Ian
Knowledgeable, quick and patient
Ian helped me with an assignment that I needed to get done. He was very quick and patient with me, which helped. I am looking forward to getting help from him in the future.
Patient, Understanding, Professional
Mr. Ian Marshall is very intelligent and enthusiastic about his craft! He was understanding of my naïveté when it came to learning Javascript and worked with me to solve my problems. I highly recommend Ian as a Web Development tutor.
patient and adaptive tutor
Even though my mic and cam stopped working Ian was able to figure out an alternative and make sure to help me with everything I needed in a timley matter.
First-rate correspondence. Gifted teacher with enthusiasm
First-rate correspondence. Ian is a smart and gifted teacher with enthusiasm. We will be using his services again and again.
Patient and wonderful tutor!
I am already looking forward to my second session with Ian. He is an awesome tutor. After having me write out my code, I was able to see what I had done. I was able to explain to him what happened. With minor correction as needed. He too reiterated the lines of code he directed me to type out. If you are a visual learner like me, and need to do things yourself to see and understand what happened/how it worked. Then this is the best tutor and site for you. He was very patient as I typed and asked if I wasn't sure what was to come next. That was also kind and great of him.
Knowledgeable and clear with a very helpful style
Ian understood all my questions regarding JavaScript and answered them in a understandable and concise manner. I enjoyed the tone of the session.
Great Help
Had some questions about Eloquent Javascript and he was very helpful giving me the Cliff's Notes version of a weird function while I was on a deadline. Will definitely use him again.
Good Educator, communicates fundamentals well
Ian helped me better understand display: inline and display: inline-block and display: block. He taught me about which elements have which display defaults. We also discussed creating more specific selectors for css rules to override other rules, parent and child selectors, direct child selectors. The lesson overall helped to better debug css.
Experienced and kind-hearted tutor
Ian is very familiar with what students need in real work, and has a very clear knowledge structure. He is a very kind-hearted tutor, too.
Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor!
I asked him many questions about java script issues that i was facing. I got very beneficial and practical answers. He was patient to explain with simple code examples. I would definitely recommend him.
Patient and makes material easier to understand than a professor in a classroom.
Ian was excellent on first lesson. He understands what professor are not teaching you in classroom and therefore completes the puzzled questions you never got to ask in class. I am booking my second lesson shortly.
Excellent JavaScript teacher
Ian is helping me better understand JavaScript. I'm very pleased with his grasp of the language as well as his ability to figure out what aspects of JavaScript I am currently missing, but very much need to know. Bravo.
Knows his stuff
Knows JavaScript well enough to explain it well. Brilliant lesson, awesome pace.
Learned a lot!
Ian shared a lot of industry knowledge and best practices for Javascript and PHP development. A very informed and approachable teacher!
Knowledgeable and listens to exactly what you need
Ian is great. He is my go to tutor. He takes the time to understand/listen to the problem, proposes his solution/explains his solution/walks you through it and it always works great. Highly recommend him!
Great, knowledgeable instructor
Ian did a great job of not only giving me an easier way to understand JS, but he was wonderful in answering questions about the coding world, what to expect moving forward after my coding course, and some good practices. I would certainly book with Ian again.
Patient and knowledgeable tutor
Ian was very patient with my less than rudimentary understanding of JavaScript and helped me get started in the process of learning it. I would recommend him to anyone else grappling with computer code, etc. He is very knowledgeable.
Great tutor
Ian is a great tutor and a Javascript specialist. He helped me in my projects with the syntax, but also, with the overhaul thought process and how to approach the construction of a program.
Great teacher.
Knows the material very well. Really Loves teaching. Would definitely recommend him to friends. Really helped me get through a tough project
Ian has been really helpful explaining logic to me that seemed overwhelming to me at first. After breaking down the process of needed functionality I had a better idea of how to accomplish the task and in the process filled in some educational gaps when in came to Javascript. He taught me some nifty calls that I wished I would have known about beforehand and was just really pleasant and easy to talk to. Great experience.
He responds very fast unlike others and very responsible. I'm very pleased with the result. He was very helpful, knowledgeable and caring. I'd highly recommend him and I am glad that I found a great tutor.
Very Knowledgeable and Patient
Ian helped me review some basic to intermediate level JavaScript by working through a project. He was very skilled in the subject matter, patient and enthusiastic - everything a great tutor should be.
Helpful and patient.
Ian really took his time to help me out in my situation and stopped whenever I needed some time to understand in order to explain to me in the best way possible what was going on. Great tutor!
Knowledgeable, highly skilled, fun and patient tutor!
Ian is terrific. Learning coding for Javascript & JQuery can be a difficult process. He is not only highly skilled, but has a great sense of humor, and an ability to communicate, which is very important to me when learning something new. I will certainly be a regular student of Ian.
Ian is informative and patient, and with very good aesthetics. He gave me a lot of helpful suggestions and instructions about my graphic design portfolio. I'm grateful about his help.
Super knowledgeable
Ian was awesome! I understood more from him in 3 hours than 3 weeks of classes on Javascript. He helped me break down creating a game for an assignment, in a way that wasn't overwhelming but rather manageable. Ian asked me the right questions to help me think about what I had to do and how, and made sure I understood. He was very thoughtful about managing our time and didn't mind having to go over things again. Ian even pointed me to resources and how to use them properly. I would and probably will have him review lessons with me again.
Patient and Creative Instructor
Ian is patient, creative, and knowledgeable. He is also willing to repeat lessons as needed for our learning disabled college student son.
