2 GIS lessons

I had an assignment and a project in a GIS class that he helped me with that where both very complex and had to do with the environmental side of GIS. Chris's main field was not in the environmental subset of GIS but he was more than capable of designing model builders and zones. I also had problems finding data for my assignment and project which Chris was able to find for me. I would of had an extremely hard time passing my GIS class if it was not for Chris.

Marcelo is the most amazing GIS tutor I've ever had. He was very patient and super knowledgeable about GIS and answered every question I gave him and was able to assist with every problem I was having with the software. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else who needs help with a GIS project or just learning about the software.

6 GIS lessons

My forever Favorite. Jacob is the perfect tutor. I am taking Programming Principles GIS I. I know nothing about programming or python. I thought this class would be a basic learning class. I was wrong. The day before my first lesson, I though about dropping this class and going from a Bachelors in GIS to just a GIS cert. Thankfully, I found this website and I found Jacob. Without him, I wouldn't be this far. I am beginning to understand the fundamentals more.
