"Very patient, and really really knows his stuff"
- Wiktoria, Chicago, IL on 8/30/17If you don't know how to do something, he will go over it in many different ways until you really understand that something really well, won't give up, and consistently teaches a ton of new things, whether he goes by his plan or yours. There really isn't anything that he does not know how to do in Java or Linux, unless it is a really rare case that he hasn't seen before(not likely though.) In just three lessons, I was able to basic things in Java and nearing eight lessons, he taught me things that I didn't even know I would ever be able to do. He also goes above and beyond when it comes to helping you outside of lessons. Just message him and he will quickly respond and try his best to solve your problem. He also spends hours preparing for the lessons by writing new code and teaching himself for whatever needs you may have. By far the best tutor I've ever had.
"Excellent help with Java Web and Maven using Eclipse"
- Alyssa, Concord, NH on 8/6/17Joji, helped me to assemble a bunch of different Java Web projects (servlets, jslt, bean) I had created in Eclipse and was getting errors with. He troubleshooted the POM and Web.xml files with me, and helped me to do some maven builds so I could get my projects running and errors removed from eclipse. He also helped me make the files smaller so I could hand them into my instructor. Excellent tutor, I highly recommend!
"He knows his stuff!"
- Nabor, Cicero, IL on 3/25/16Joji was very patient, he helped me work on my java project and took me step by step through it. He taught new things about java I didn't know before and he was very helpful. He knows his stuff very well, I will definitely be back!
"Extremely competent, excellent tutor"
- Steve, Skokie, IL on 4/16/15Joji is an excellent tutor. He is detailed and you can tell he takes a deep interest in the student learning the material.
"Very well experienced and responsible tutor"
- Andy, Chicago, IL on 4/9/15Today, April 8 is the first day I studied with Joji. He is really gentle and experienced with his field. I am totally satisfied with him. After the meeting finished, I got an email from him about the issue that we still have not finished yet. Such a Japanese spirit. So responsible and gentle. Thumb up!
From now on if I have trouble with Java, I will study with him.
"Great tutor! Very patient!"
- Duely, Chicago, IL on 3/12/15The tutor was very knowledgeable and patient. I learned a lot of new things about coding in Java and some cool tricks using Eclipse. Definitely will reach out again!
"5 Great Months of Lessons"
- Kathryn/Simon, Skokie, IL on 11/23/14I wanted to update my review to say that Joji and Simon have now been working together consistently and harmoniously since July and it’s been a great experience. Joji is among the top tutors I’ve seen and each week they’re working through the curriculum for the AP Computer Science exam. Our son has been studying for a number of years, but Joji is the one who will actually get him through the test prep and he will likely take the test before high school.
"Extremely Patient and Adept"
- Elizabeth, Palatine, IL on 8/15/14Joji is extremely patient and encouraging. He's a whiz at Eclipse and has shown me so many tips and tricks to make debugging easier. I like that he helps by drawing out diagrams to explain concepts; I'm very visual and learn best when I can see and do.
"Last Minute Request"
- Shawn, Chicago, IL on 7/30/14Joji is awesome, he is patient and explains the fundamentals of Java very well. He breaks down the concepts and syntax into simple and easy to understand pieces of information. In our last tutor lesson he was able to meet with me just a few hours after I asked for an emergency lesson, and he stayed late with me! I highly recommend Joji to any new student of Java.
"Calm and cool."
- Dustin, Chicago, IL on 5/27/14Joji is patient, calm and very knowledgeable on the topics. He is a good teacher and knows how to set a lesson plan that is best for you.
