Bob is a terrific AP Comp Sci tutor
Matthew, 27 lessons with BobBob is a terrific AP Comp Sci tutor and helped my son achieve a score of 5 on the AP exam. My son Julian was struggling in his AP Comp Sci course in his senior year of high school. Though he was strong in math, his learning style didn't match well with the teacher's approach to the material. Julian received a C+ for his first half grade.

Bob is a terrific AP Comp Sci tutor
Bob is a terrific AP Comp Sci tutor and helped my son achieve a score of 5 on the AP exam. My son Julian was struggling in his AP Comp Sci course in his senior year of high school. Though he was strong in math, his learning style didn't match well with the teacher's approach to the material. Julian received a C+ for his first half grade. We turned to Wyzant for the flexibility of scheduling tutoring times as Julian was a three-sport athlete. Julian immediately found Bob's style of tutoring helpful and fun - not only showing him how to tackle the work but also the why rationale behind each approach which helped improve his understanding and retention of the material. Bob usually spent 2 sessions with Julian before each exam and at times one session before a difficult coding project was due across the second half of the year. Bob was a great communicator in terms of scheduling appointments and was very flexible in accommodating Julian's fluctuating schedule. In the end, Julian received an A in the second half of the year finishing with a B+ for the year, achieved a 5 on the AP exam and is now in his freshman year at Wesleyan University in CT where he received credit from the AP exam for a 100 level comp sci course and is now enrolled in a 200 level Comp Sci course. We would highly recommend Bob for AP Comp Sci Tutoring!

Excellent Tutor and Very Patient!
Bob is very patient and flexible with his teaching style. My son has ADHD and struggled to focus in class and Bob knew how to tackle his particular learning style. I really appreciate having teachers like him - wish we had more of tutors/teachers like Bob! My son ended up with a 5 on this AP CSA exam and A in his class. We are lucky to have found Bob! He knows the material so well and goes above and beyond to help kids learn the information. He is very patient and accommodates busy schedules! He can clearly communicate complex coding in simple easy to understand terms. I highly recommend!

SQL tution
Enthusiasm and knowledge. He took a great care to make sure the lesson is catered to my need. I think he was little more advance than what was expecting but he is a great tutor.

Dramatically expanded my personal potential at my work!
I worked with Bob over the weekend to help me learn how to used Microsoft Word for my work. I have struggled with certain features in Word for more than 20 years that prevent my work from looking as good as it should. Bob took the time to study my issues before met online - so he knew he could help me before we even started. Some of my problems were not simple - but Bob had practical suggestions for each one. He also took the time to help me write my own "cheat sheet" to use going forward. Hard to believe this kind of expert help is available on short notice - especially on a weekend. Thanks Bob!

Excellent tutor!
Bob is a wonderful teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience and he explains concepts so well. Our son who is crushing AP Calc BC has struggled with AP Computer science. Today was his first lesson. After one session his exact words were that if he had met Bob sooner he would have aced AP Computer Science!
