TESTIMONIALS

  • “Before I received tutoring from Dr. Ismail, I consistently received 20-22 on my ACT. Thanks to his help, by the time I finished testing, I had a 30 super score, and 29 composite. I owe him a great deal of gratitude. He was an excellent teacher and a mentor.”

    Cheney G. Rising Senior

  • “I enthusiastically recommend Ihab Ismail and his educational programs. His work with students in preparation for standardized testing and subject tutoring is exceptional. Dr. Ismail is able to deepen the student's understanding of the material and help them grow in confidence and independence. His services will add a great deal of value to any educational program. ”

    Cathy Falkenberg, College Counselor

  • “Dr. Ismail worked with our son, our daughter. He helped each one achieve the National Merit and become finalists. We are now seeking his expertise to work with our third daughter. We know we will get the same excellent service.”

    Parent, Sarah G.W.

  • “Dr. Ismail is driven by a passion for teaching. This seems to stem from devotion to helping others. He is precisely the type of professor that students appreciate the most: he challenges and mentors. Very few teachers can match Dr. Ismails care for teaching. In my opinion, Dr. Ismail is extremely intelligent. He grasps diverse concepts quickly and can restate them in ways that reveal insight. In addition to his strength in diverse science topics, he is outstanding in the area of mathematics. This is very important today because there is increasing need for math and statistics proficiency across diverse work fields as well as household needs. In addition, he has strong leadership skills, he is pro-active, perseverant, cool under pressure and an outstanding role model. His conduct is professional and his personality is universally liked. Moreover, he is confident and enthusiastic.”

    Prof. Carlos A. The Children’s Research Institute at Nationwide and Ohio State University”

  • “Dr. Ismail is earnest and kind, occasionally sharing his big heart with his students and their families through letters and his original poetry. “ “He recognizes the power of positive modeling and is intentional about conducting himself in ways consistent with the highest aims he has for his students.” “I was immediately taken by his passion for science and his vision for the multidisciplinary understanding of biological concepts, his commitment to issues of equity and social justice.”

    Mr. Shane M., Former Head of Upper School at the Columbus Academy

  • “He didn’t only increase my SAT score by 410 points. From SAT to ACT to SAT Subject Tests, Dr. Ismail has been much more than a tutor to me. He has been an amazing teacher, who gave me confidence and knowledge that will help me throughout my life. I have recently been accepted to Cornell University, and it definitely would not have been possible without the skills that Dr. Ismail has taught me.”

    Alex V, Senior Scholar

  • “Thank you so much for your last-minute work with Zander on ACT Prep. His science score went from a 32 to a 36! It brought his composite score from 34 to 35. He is, of course, delighted.”

    Parent

  • “Dr. Ismail is incredibly professional and dedicated to his students. The time he spent with my son was focused, but his sensitive nature made the work enjoyable and encouraging for Jacob. As a result of their time together, Jacob is well within the national merit semifinalist range, and we are grateful for the support of Dr. Ismail. I hope he will be available to help Jacob’s siblings when the time comes!”

    Amelia, Parent

    Special Programs Director

  • “Dr. Ihab Ismail has contributed greatly to the Special Programs Department at the Columbus Academy. Ihab has worked for 6 years in the Summer Experience programs. [his] classes were not only fun but extremely educational and supportive of the life long learning process. Ihab was an asset to those around him as well as a dependable and creative resource. I was very impressed with the care he took with children. The students are always drawn to his gentle nature. I believe him to be a fair and caring support and know he would make an amazing leader. I would highly recommend Dr. Ismail and believe him to be a strong candidate and be contributor to any any program of which he is a part of.”
