Qualtrics

I'm an online student and have little access to colleagues who are also using the Qualtrics platform. John patiently and masterfully assisted me getting started with the quantitative research portion of my dissertation.

Steve, 1 lesson with John

Extremely smart and patient tutor

John is one of the smartest tutors I have ever had and knows how to explain concepts and problems with ease. He knows how to explain the complicated concepts in my physics class better than my teacher and is very knowledgeable.

Max, 2 lessons with John

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

He was a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. He helped in technology and coding. He arrived on time and helped explain the issues very clearly. I would highly recommend him and use him again for any subjects that he tutors in.

Knowledgeable about BC calculus

John was very knowledgeable about the material and I liked the use of the white board and covered material that I have not learned in class yet. I was able to easily understand the material. I had excellent first lesson.
