Knows Exactly What He's Doing

Patrick was incredible and, like the title says, he knew exactly how to complete the tasks my professor was asking for. He helped me with a coding assignment that involved HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Patrick helped me complete the assignment in only two hours, whereas if I had to do it without help, it would've taken me a month at least. I can't say enough good things about Patrick. If you are looking for a coding tutor, he is the one!

Natalie, 2 lessons with Patrick

Very Professional

Very Knowledgeable and swift working! My issue was determined and figured out in no time. Patrick was very straight forward and knew exactly how to execute the solution.

Nicholas, 2 lessons with Patrick

Fast and experienced!

Swift UI Design - Patrick taught me how to design an APP interface using Swift UI Coding Knowledge and Xcode UX APP Design expertise! This incredible tedious process can take days sometimes weeks to figure out but he does it in the span of 30 minutes to an hour - he makes it look easy and I can assure you it is not for the average user.

Amazing tutor, very efficient

Patrick was beyond helpful. Not only was he a great tutor and got so much done during our one hour session, he also reviewed my assignment before and made sure we didn’t waste time going over what the assignment was. I definitely look forward to working with him again, he had a very good understanding of the subject at hand and highly recommend.

Beyond patient tutor

I am trying to learn Java on my own. I have been working on a JavaFX application, and kept getting stuck. Patrick worked with me late into the night to make progress. Since he explained everything clearly, the tricky concepts make a lot more sense to me. I'd likely be working on this for MONTHS if it wasn't for him. THANK YOU PATRICK FOR SAVING MY BUTT!

Actual Genius when it comes to Android App Development

He helped me work through an issue I was having with an app that reads heart rate from a user's fingertip being placed over the camera of a phone. We had to move/change a bunch of stuff but he made it extremely easy and it works perfectly now. HIGHLY recommend!!
