Very Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and Funny Teaching Methods

I recently had the pleasure of working with a tutor who was simply brilliant. His mastery of the subject matter was truly impressive, and he was always extremely well-prepared for our sessions. What really stood out to me, though, was his ability to turn hour-long problems into 5-minute ones. It was amazing to watch him work through complex equations and concepts with such ease and efficiency. As a student, I often struggle with feeling overwhelmed by difficult coursework, but this tutor had a knack for breaking things down into manageable pieces and explaining them in a way that made sense to me. His patience and willingness to answer my questions were invaluable, and I felt like I was making real progress with his help. Overall, I would highly recommend this tutor to anyone looking for academic support. His intelligence, preparation, and ability to simplify complex material make him an invaluable asset to any student looking to succeed in their studies.

Review over ECE circuits in AC

We went over DC key points like mes currents, node voltages, and Kirchoffs Laws and then put those components into AC circuits. Also reviewed complex numbers. Very good professor.

Devan, 6 lessons with Prof Skip

Excellent

I sure enjoyed Professor Skip's lecture and learned a lot from him. He sure has a great knowledge of MS project. I would like to have another lecture with him today, March 27th at 7pm. Many thanks.

Knowledgeable teacher and instructor

Prof L is a very engaged teacher and I have learned a lot from him. The only possible drawback is he prefers to run his sessions via zoom rather than the wyzant site, but his instruction is worth it.

George, 2 lessons with Prof Skip

Easy to follow and a great teacher!

Intermediate and Advance Excel. Each participant was able to follow easily and ask questions whenever needed. At the end of the class, everyone felt at ease with what they had learned and take it back to their workplace.

Super patient and walked me though problems carefully without assuming I knew what steps he was skipping. Provided extra resources after session to help me prepare for my exam! Completely worth the money I spent
