Knowledgeable, friendly, took the time to understand what I needed help with!

Digby was an excellent tutor! He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to address all my questions and concerns thoroughly. Throughout the lesson, he explained concepts clearly and made sure I fully understood each step. After the session, he provided helpful guidance on the next steps to take, which gave me a clear path forward. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective tutor!"

Ap us history

Digby is great! He is very smart and has a lot of knowledge on US history. He is helping me get through a book I am reading for school and is making it interesting and engaging!

Amy, 10 lessons with Digby

Great for explaining complex examples, timely and extremely knowledgeable

Digby helped me with a couple projects that were overcomplicated. We discussed 5S and VSMs and he was able to put them into terms I could understand, as someone with learning disabilities. He was very understanding and accommodating and went above and beyond. I was able to get a perfect score on my VSM project. The 5S project (my very last assignment of the class) hasn't been graded yet, but I was really confident turning it in. This was my last class for my supply chain and logistics certification. I'd definitely recommend Digby!
