Jessie C.

8 Python lessons

As an absolute beginner of Python, I struggle a lot in a graduate level Python class that is going at an extremely fast path. Julia truly knows Python and knows how to TEACH Python in a way that not only makes sense to me, but also tailors for my own studying style. Her tutoring and explanation are so clear and unambiguous (trust me - not all Python tutors are able to explain things this clearly).

Eric E.

1 Python lesson

I would hire Mrinal again in a heartbeat! I saw many tutors listed who show python as a skill, but I was worried that while they may be able to figure anything out in python by trial and error, I feared I would waste a lot of time as they tried to remember what commands work with the python language. I was so pleased with Mrinal because he actively codes in python and knows the language like the back of his hand.
