WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Bob Patterson
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.
Thabo Motsoahae
John is one of the best instructors I have come across, I learned a lot from his online tutorials.
Chris Aitken
He significantly improved my site through his expert knowledge of PHP, CSS and Javascript. Would definitely recommend John to others.
Sukh Plaha
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!
Lori Grant
John did an outstanding job on my project. I highly recommend him and look forward to working with him on future projects.
Ray Edwards
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.
Xan Barksdale
