Very knowledgeable and patient

Niko is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. He tutored my son on computer science assignments, he reviewed the parts that were confusing on database programming and explained clearly. My son is very happy with his help and will definitely request more sessions with Niko when he needs. Also thanks to Wyzant that allow us to find many high quality tutors as Niko when my students need.
