I’m a fan. I have completed several of John’s courses. I find him very knowledgeable and he has a great delivery.
On the Freelancing on Upwork course: “This is by far the best course i have watched on Skillshare!! Thank you so much.”
John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!
John has a particular knack for the development and training of others.
John is a man of integrity, who gives generously of himself to projects and people he cares about.
Not only is John a very talented programmer and developer, he is also an excellent communicator. He has a talent for taking complex subjects and communicating them in terms that anyone can understand. This is a rare combination. This ability has enabled me to take my skills and knowledge to the next level. Thank you John for for all that you do.
John is amazing at building membership sites. He converted one of my sites over from it’s existing (hardly working) platform over to the clean and simple to use WishList membership platform. I highly recommend using John and WishList for any of your membership site needs.
John has provided expert knowledge and advice on multiple occasions that have helped me better serve my clients. John is a Rockstar!
John has a habit of over-delivering on the expectations he sets up. That’s why he’s the best.
Very professional worker who is extremely knowledgable in WordPress and Wishlist Member. I would definitely hire again.
John and I have worked together on numerous projects. John is very quick and efficient and was a pleasure to work with.
John is one of the best instructors I have come across, I learned a lot from his online tutorials.
John has a relaxed and engaging manner. His advice is solid and the explanations are well thought out.
I recommend John every chance I get. If every person I worked with were as committed to excellence, punctuality, value, and unquestionable integrity… the world would be a better place. Highest recommendation.
John really delivers!
