Amazing tutor!

Hands down an awesome tutor. Very patient. He definitely taught me a lot and a few tricks that were extremely helpful. I went in with no knowledge of HTML/CSS and I can say I did learn some new and helpful things.

A knowledgeable and patient tutor

George helped my son with a school project in Adobe After Effects. George was extremely patient, accommodating and flexible. My son really liked George because of his temperament. He is very knowledgeable in after effects and photoshop and I'm certain my son gained more skills. Would definitely use him again. I can't stress how patient he was with my son. He made sure he knew the assignment before moving on to the next task.
