Arianna B.

1 UNIX lesson

Mark helped me learn C and understand UNIX commands. Prior to our lesson, I was so lost and had no idea how to even compile and run a C program and was overwhelmed with starting a project. Mark took the time to help me understand C syntax, how to compile, and run my programs. We also went over good coding standards which was really helpful. After just one lesson I already feel more confident with C and UNIX. Mark is a great tutor!
Brenda G.

1 UNIX lesson

She helped me understand my Unix homework better and taught me more Unix commands with how they work and how to work in the vi editor. She was patient and helpful.
Christopher P.

1 UNIX lesson

Helped me to complete an assignment using regex, Bash, Unix, and a large XML file for a computer science class. Very friendly and would gladly request his tutoring services again. 5/5.
