Collin V.

3 Linux lessons

Mark has been in the industry since the beginning of Linux, not only was he knowledgeable about the topics, he also knows the history of how Linux came to be and was able to explain why various components exist even though they are antiquated. I learned so much from him and there wasn't a single question he couldn't answer. I truly feel that I scored the jackpot in finding him and I highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs help learning Linux.
John S.

1 Linux lesson

He was able to give me a lot of advise on the newest issues within Linux and the IT industry. He put a lot of effort to help me understand and comprehend concepts, to gain an understand where I could apply them to real world situations. My tutoring session was related to a complicated Linux project where I had to simulated the responsibilities of a system administrator. Rodrigo explained the project, which had a multi step process of administrating, and requiring one to not only write the command line.
Adam F.

1 Linux lesson

In the end my machine is now stable and running a distribution of Linux that does everything I want. Also, while we let the computer run installations and downloads he was able to talk to me about more general topics in Linux and Computer Science at large that I found very insightful. Can't recommend him enough, a great tutor.
