Kirt is a pleasure to work with as a tutor. He is very proficient in C++ and can convey information about programming in general very clearly that I find to be a huge plus.


Bee B. from Chevy Chase, MD

Kirt was professional, direct, and to the point. He is a good tutor and I look forward to working with him until I feel my goals have been met. I'm very glad I persisted and reached out to him.


Jason C. from Washington, DC

Kirt is an extremely knowledgeable and gifted tutor with a great talent for teaching and instruction. I consider myself very fortunate to have studied with him and I look forward to more lessons and learning.


Rich M. from Fredericksburg, VA

Kirt recently tutored my daughter (Junior in high school) in AP Java. My daughter and Java mixed like oil and water. She fell behind and was in real danger of failing the class. We contacted Kirt to save her grade. Kirt was punctual, professional and focused. He help my daughter grasp the basics of each lesson, left her with additional areas to study, and followed up with her between tutor sessions. My daughter ended up with a high C in the class, much better than the F she had at mid-terms. We were all very pleased with Kirt and his dedication to helping our daughter pass her AP Java class.


Dale J. from Fort Washington, MD

Kirt was a great tutor. He explained things very well and was very patient. It was very easy to work out scheduling my sessions.


Nasar R. from Sterling, VA

Kirt is a very knowledgeable instructor in Java programming. He is able to provide context to much of the learning that seems bland when taught at college. He is also punctual and easygoing.


Sunny S. from Fairfax Station, VA

Kirt is one of the best tutors in my opinion. He can be available when you need. He shows up on time. He will email you back and forth as you need. He did a great job explaining all the material in a way I was able to really understand it. He truly makes it about you. Definitely one of the best tutor experiences I have ever had and I would recommend him 100%


Linda G. from Owings Mills, MD

Very good tutor. He's very nice, patient, and he's very detailed and very knowledgeable in the subject. He was somewhat tardy (on time) but once he arrived things were good from there. I would recommend him to anyone needing help in JAVA.


Ron B. from Silver Spring, MD

Kirt is an excellent and very knowlegeable tutor. He is flexible and able to work skillfully with my needs. He also responds promptly to any contact.


Keven D. from Gaithersburg, MD

My experience wasn't so positive for the following reasons: 1. He was only on time for my first lesson. I'm assuming that was because he wanted me to make a good first impression. However, after that he wasn't on time ever again. 2. I was CONSTANTLY asking him to read through my homework assignment before we met so that he would be prepared for my questions. However, when it came time for my questions, he was always lost. Obviously because he never read my homework beforehand. 3. Because of a lack of preparation, I never really got my questions answered correctly. He would always come up with an answer, but it always left me more confused. When I would go back to the assignment, I would find that he was wrong. Hence, the need for preparation. 4. This was a programming class, and so outside of tutoring me, he wrote a draft of what he thought the homework assignment wanted. That way I could look through his code for help. In the end, the code didn't help. He also charged me for 2 hours of work. I'm not sure if he worked on it for more or less time, so I had to just trust him. I wouldn't let a tutor do the same for you, because you never know how long it actually took them.


Norma D. from Parkton, MD

Mr U is an expert in his field, and it shows. His teaching experience is also valuable as he makes a somewhat challenging subject for me easier to understand. Highly recommended if you are having trouble with computer programming. If you're looking for help with a specific computer language, chances are Kirt knows it.


Keisha B. from Stafford, VA

Kirt knows everything about coding, from history to practice. Be specific about what you want to learn, HTML, ruby, etc. Kirt has a ton of stories, so just be sure to keep him on track and he will make sure you get the skills you need.
