Bob really helped me with my IT homework. I had mostly right answers but I struggled understanding the concepts. Bob really helped me grasp a better understanding of the material!
- Shawnya B. from Princeton, TX
Very patient and motivating. One lesson gave me far more confidence with programming and working with topics that confused me. Gave vitality to concepts that once seemed stationary! Thank you so much!
- Anonymous A. from Boston, MA
A lot of people know how to program but very few know how to teach. Bob is an excellent teacher. My son is good at math but doesn?t have any programming experience. This year he is taking AP Comp and didn?t do well in the beginning. After three classes with Bob, his grade has been improved from C to B. We look forward to have more classes with Bob.
- Christina C. from New York, NY
We have so far gone through an online course to strengthen my fundamentals for the 1st few lessons before starting C+ or C++. He is very patient and relieves my nervousness even though English is my 2nd language. A great tutor with a golden heart!!!
- Zayne T. from Secaucus, NJ
Excellent tutor with an impressive knowledge of SQL & data science. He helped me with my project, I can?t recommend him enough. He?s very nice and easy to follow as well.
- Morgan R. from Shokan, NY
Bob has been tutoring my son for some time. As a mother and a university professor, I can tell Bob's professionalism and dedication to his craft are exceptional. He goes above and beyond to ensure that my son understands the material. His passion for teaching and commitment is truly inspiring. Also, he is always willing to accommodate my son's schedule. I can't recommend him enough and feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor. He has my highest recommendation.
- Ozden B. from Bothell, WA
Helped me step by step and is very nice. He is a very patient person who is kind and knows a lot about apcsa.
- Michael M. from East Amherst, NY
I'm a professional engineer, and I've been booking sessions to refine my SQL queries (or solve my problems) with Bob for over a year. He's always punctual, pleasant, helpful and generally a joy to work with. You should book him too. Just not when I need him.
- Mike W. from Chicago, IL
Really helped our son from lagging to enjoying computer science. Amazing skill at making complex topics easier to understand. My son looks forward to his sessions.
- Laura R. from Portland, OR
Bob helped me earn an A on my midterm! I was on track to end with a B in my AP Computer Science Principles class but I ended with an A due to Bob's knowledge and patience! I highly recommend!
- Dani H. from Delray Beach, FL
Bob helped my son with his Comp Sci A project. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely recommend him for comp science a tutoring.
- Matthew H. from Lake Forest, IL
Bob is extremely knowledgeable and really takes the time to explain tools, techniques and best practices all while assisting on the specific content that the student needs help on. Bob assisted me with Java and taught me a tremendous amount about my dev environment and how to get the most out of it. He was patient and was very in-tune with what I needed, teaching to the level that I was at with the language. I would highly recommend Bob and will absolutely use his services again!
- Amber F. from Grand Rapids, MI
Bob has been instrumental in teaching me CS/Java this semester. He helps me get through assignments and is a wonderful teacher. I enjoy Bob's calm demeanor and appreciate his expertise.
- Camp L. from Spring Hill, FL
My daughter said ?it worked? after the first lesson and I was very pleased. Other than Java, I think she can get a lot of help, too. I think we found right Tutor.
- Eugenia C. from Los Altos, CA
Bob was very patient and gave in-depth explanations on each step of code in a way that I could understand. He also showed me tips and tricks that will help me tremendously in my Java class. Thanks so much Bob for being on WyzAnt.
- Anonymous A. from Pittsburg, TX
Bob was able to understand the issues I had with my queries and help me walk through the hurdles. I will most certainly be requesting Bob's help again, should I need it with SQL. Thanks, Bob!
- Chris G. from Cumming, GA
Bob showed me efficient ways to construct code, Java nomenclature/coding conventions and other useful tips I can immediately use in my studies. Bob was very patient and his scheduling of availability very flexible.
- John A. from Windsor Mill, MD
Bob is great. In our first lesson he explained so much. He actually explained something that was very hard but I understood it with his explanation. Definitely coming back!
- Niki E. from Davis, CA
Very easy to work with, explains the information in a way that a beginner can understand, also provides additional information that will be helpful in the future. Great personality!
- Lisa R. from Elizabeth, NJ
Mr. Bob knows the ins and outs of what he teaches as well as how to teach; he is not only kind and patient, but also balances his explanations with your individual thought process in solving problems. He expedites your learning of computer science without inducing stress or frustration. I believed I hated coding, but I've changed my mind. For the first time, instead of dreading and worrying about class, I like coding with Mr. Bob due to his relaxing and pleasant style of teaching. Honestly, I never thought I could enjoy computer science or online learning, but Mr. Bob has proven me otherwise. Given that you probably aren't as unwilling to code as I originally was, you will most definitely have an even better experience.
