Fantastic interview prep!

I worked with Conor recently to prepare for an upcoming technical interview. He helped with come up with an excellent list of things to focus on and even did a mock interview with me. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

John, 2 lessons with Conor

True expert at Python able to dig in and find coding errors

He found mistakes I had made in functions calling other functions and passing data, including local and global variables, and taught me ways to do it right. Also covered indent levels and proper ways to end functions.

Gary, 1 lesson with Conor

Awesome, knowledgeable and patient tutor

Quick to reply, quick to pick up the ask and issue, reviewed Sagemaker and modeling tools for Machine Learning and made the deadline. Will use him again for my next class!
