A tutor who is better than my own teacher

Mario was extremely patient and knowledgeable. Answered any doubts or questions I had with ease and provided every bit of information I could possibly need. I had been struggling with my cisco classes, but after one hour I was able to learn more than I had learnt from my very own teacher. Great tutor! I highly recommend him.

Mario= Knowledge, Skills, Ability, and Compassionate

My name is Celeste Williams. I reached out to Mario for tutoring service because I liked his profile; and after working with him, it speaks the truth of who he is. Mario is an expert in IT and Cybersecurity. Mario also stated, "I am very passionate about helping others learn and attain their goals." He stands true to his words. Three weeks ago my spring 2021 semester began; and, I knew I would need help with the writing projects concerning vulnerabilities and threat management. I sent Mario the 1st assignment and he had a plan of action in less than 24 hours. I passed that assignment with 100%. He will also help me study for the certification. Thank you Mario!!! You are Compassionate!!!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor!

I'm relearning packet tracer and the commands and how to, in order to get it to work. He makes it look a little too easy, making me think, I shouldn't need his help.
