He didn't even mention to me until before he left that he'd driven so far to accommodate my request! Legend. * let me know that he'd be very happy to be flexible to accommodate my busy schedule going forward and can do in-person or online lessons In summary, I can't recommend Arash highly enough. He's a great tutor and seems like a genuinely nice guy too. Look forward to tackling computer programming with him over the coming weeks!

I am happy to recommend Mansoor as a tutor. My son was struggling in Advanced Computer Math. We reached out to Mansoor and he met with my son on just one days notice. He did an hour and half session on calling and writing methods in computer programming. My son was extremely pleased with the session. Before the session my son was absolutely lost now he feels very comfortable with naming methods.We plan to use Mansoor for upcoming Computer programming topics.
