Amazing tutor, Presents things in a easy to understand manner

I've used JB as a tutor for Java for several weeks now. He has really helped me understand some concepts that I was struggling with and has picked up the slack from my Professor at my University. I do not have the best Professor for my Java class and was really struggling a couple weeks in. I first reached out for a tutor and JB sent me a message. He met with me online the same night and ended up staying up until Midnight to help me get an assignment done I had due the next day. He has gone way above and beyond to help me with my class. I was a little worried that using an online tutor instead of meeting with someone in person wouldn't work that well but with JB it has been the opposite. He has made it really easy to get together and work on my assignments. We use a screenshare and skype to communicate and it's more convenient than going anywhere to meet. He is able to break down concepts in a way I can understand and there is no way I would have gotten through my class without him. He also keeps things interesting and fun. He doesn't get frustrated when I'm slow to pick things up and just tries to find different ways of explaining or demonstrating concepts until I get it. I highly recommend using him as a tutor for computer science if you're looking for one. I guarantee you will be glad you did!

Brilliant and Patient

Jean-Benoit was able to explain my professor’s very dense notes in a way that made sense. He explains things simply enough for you to understand. He also takes the time to show you how to break down a problem, step by step. I’ll definitely be taking more lessons from him.

Great tutor!

Jean-Benoit helped me finish some of my Python Trading Algorithm homework. He understands the code, code structure, and how to implement the right code, with the right techniques. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I will be getting more help from him in the near future!

Great tutor

I really appreciate Jean-Benoit's help with my Oracle issue. Though we did not get all the way to a resolution I think we got far enough that I can get it over the finish line. Thank you again for your help, Jean-Benoit!

Knowledgeable in MySQL and SQL

At first, I needed someone to help me install the sample employee database on my laptop. Unfortunately, I had to go through several unknowledgeable tutors before finding Jean-Benoit. Jean was able to follow the instructions and install the employee database AND explain what he was doing to me. I have since reached out to him for assistance with writing several challenging SQL queries and he cut through them like butter with a hot knife. He definitely knows what he is doing in regards to MySQL and SQL.

Very experienced

Great experience for my daughter in operating systems. Thoughtful instruction that was easy to follow considering the complexity of the class. No trouble getting time for instruction.

Dishonest and not prepared

1) Dishonest. We started a lesson but there was a technical problem. He could not share his screen. We tried connect through a chrome extension. Did not work either. Ended up me sharing the screen. I asked to adjust the time, but he blamed me. He did not produce a single line of code during our class (Yes, Carl!). Still justifies his charge of 140$ per hour as appropriate. 2) Not prepared. I needed to code some parallel programming concepts (work scheduler, thread pool, etc.) in C++ using pthreads . I sent the problem set and stressed the problems I was interested. I ended up sharing my screen. So I did all the work; Jean just gave comments once in a while. It took us 30min to find a bug in a simple vector traversing and edge conditions. (Seriously?). When we started the work on thread pool assignment, he just googled some random code. He could not even explain it. 3) Not knowledgeable It was clear that Jean did not know how to solve any of the assignments. Stay away!

Very Knowledgeable & Understanding - Great Tutor!

He helped me understand Samba server set up with Linux & Windows while walking me through correcting my errors and explained each step. I will definitely enjoy our next session.

Pretty good.

We reviewed some Unix/Linux commands. We also worked on a SQL assignment for my class. I'll probably see Jean-Benoit in a couple weeks for a followup lesson. During our next lesson we'll probably review how Java and SQL can be combined, which is something I have never done before.

Helpful Programming Tutor

Answered all my questions, to say the least, he's wealth of information!!! Very easy to talk too, seems to understand very quickly exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
