Larry was an excellent tutor. I was having some trouble with my final project in COBOL. He walked me through a good portion of the project where I was having issues and explained it in a way that I could easily understand. Absolutely recommend to anyone that have questions in COBOL.

About COBOL

On Wyzant, learners can find expert tutors to help them understand COBOL, a high-level programming language created in 1959. This widespread business-oriented language is still used today for critical applications like financial processing, data management on mainframes, and systems in banking, insurance, and government. With personalized tutoring, students can learn COBOL’s structure, including its four divisions (Identification, Environment, Data, Procedure), and gain hands-on experience with modern standards that support cloud and web integration.

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a verbose, English-like programming language known for its readability, robustness, and maintainability. It handles large-scale business transactions and file processing with ease. Although it is structured into four divisions and uses self-documenting syntax like “MOVE X TO Y,” it remains a powerful tool for managing complex business logic and data-driven applications. COBOL has evolved to include modern features such as object-oriented programming and web-connected processing, ensuring its relevance in contemporary computing.

Wyzant connects learners with experienced instructors who provide personalized lessons designed to build confidence, deepen understanding, and develop practical skills. Whether starting from scratch or seeking mastery, students can access flexible online or in-person sessions, structured curriculum, and supportive feedback-all tailored to accelerate progress. With expert tutoring, learners can explore COBOL fundamentals and advanced concepts at their own pace, gaining the knowledge and experience to succeed in today’s business and technology environments.

Find a Private COBOL Tutor in any city.

The Wyzant community of private tutors spans nationwide, making it easy to find an instructor nearby who can teach 1:1 COBOL lessons online or in person. Pass the class, ace the test, or learn a new job skill. Compare tutor costs and qualifications and find your COBOL tutor today.
