Mr. Perry is an awesome tutor. He was always willing to go beyond my needs. I was seriously struggling with Advanced Java, but thanks to his wondrous help, I was able to pass. He was extremely knowledgeable about Java; it helped greatly. If there was anything he didn't know, then he was honest about it and he would always go home and find helpful resources to try to make me understand topics I didn't understand. I strongly encourage anyone who's seeking for aid or a tutor for math and/or Java to reach Mr. Perry. He is always at your service. Extremely reachable and flexible. He is super polite and a superb person.

This is my first time using WyzAnt so I was a little nervous and uncomfortable with having to speak to strangers but my assignment was urgent so I went through with it anyway. To my surprise and relief, I found my self calm and relaxed as soon as my session with Bob had started because of his kindness and understanding. Thanks Bob!

Bob has been an immense help for our son who is studying AP Computer Science in high school. He is very patient and takes time to coach our son in important fundamental concepts and encourages him to think deeply about the problems he is trying to solve. He is also very knowledgeable in the subject matter and was very flexible to work with us during hours that were convenient for us on the west coast time zone, even though Bob is on the Eastern Time. We are very pleased that we found him as our son's tutor.
Teddy M. from Charlottesville, VA

Suzie P. from Bellevue, WA
A few weeks ago I was struggling with an AP computer science assignment, which was due the next day. I was completely stumped, even after spending all day on it, so I contacted Bob that night for help. Despite it being hours later in his time zone, Bob patiently helped me figure out the issues in my program through the video session's shared screen mode, which made the session very productive and efficient. I fixed my code and also learned a new way to debug code, which will surely help me in the future! Bob was very resourceful and helpful, and I would recommend his services to anyone who needs help coding!

Currently using Bob to help me in my UNIX college courses. Highly recommended for anybody who needs a guide who knows what they are doing.
Ryan W. from Havelock, NC
Bob goes to great lengths to not only explain the material and process but to help with the software and make suggestions along the way. He has helped me migrate from a primitive coding software to one much better suited for creating and trouble shooting code.
Dusty F. from Cary, NC
Bob has been great working with my 3 kids on computer programming basics. I think we are on lesson #7 or #8 and plan to continue.
Caroline B. from North Hollywood, CA
Java can feel pretty overwhelming, especially when you're brand new. Bob took me through a beginners Java assignment that literally felt like a foreign language until he broke it down. He did an excellent job of explaining what we were doing step by step, and very patiently went over it again if I was still confused. He even took the time to introduce valuable resources. He also has a way about him that makes you feel comfortable, which is really important to me in a learning environment. He will certainly be my go to!
Noah A. from Newark, DE
Explained everything clearly to help with my quiz. Went through questions at a solid pace so I would not get stuck.
