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.
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.
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.

About Linux

With flexible scheduling and access to experienced instructors, students can learn at their own pace and apply their knowledge to real-world problems.

Linux is a family of operating systems built around the Linux kernel, created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. It is widely used across servers, supercomputers, mobile devices, and embedded systems. Known for its stability and security, Linux’s open-source nature allows users to modify, share, and customize the software freely. The operating system comes in numerous "distributions," or distros, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mint, each combining the Linux kernel with different software packages and user interfaces to suit a variety of needs.

Wyzant helps learners succeed by connecting them with tutors who provide clear guidance, practical examples, and step-by-step instruction. Whether you want to explore Linux for programming, system management, or personal projects, personalized tutoring makes complex topics approachable and engaging. With access to experienced Linux instructors, you can develop confidence and skills that open new opportunities in technology and IT fields.
