Garrett T.

24 UNIX lessons

Ted was a huge help in getting me started with programming in unix. He explained the concepts very well and helped me get comfortable with the text editor vim. It was also extremely helpful to be able to meet in person. I have been searching for someone who was willing to meet in person and Ted was the perfect fit. Very well spoken, easy to understand, and had great social skills. I felt as if I were working on homework with a friend, which made me feel comfortable and easier to communicate.

Quentin C.

9 UNIX lessons

I have had more than a few tutors in the subject of Unix but the only person who knows it all the way through the course is Tim. Tim knows Unix and is always flexible with schedule and on time. Now I can finally move on to system administration.

Dominique M.

2 UNIX lessons

I have learned more in two days with David than I have in the five weeks of going solo in my online class. Doing Unix online is not easy when you don't have help from your professor in real time. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with Unix.
