Alexander was incredibly helpful, and did a great job of explaining the things I had trouble understanding. I feel much more confident in my abilities to complete my work, and will certainly be looking to meet with him again this semester.

This is the third time I have attempted to do the online tutoring, and it is extremely helpful especially due to my schedule but every time I access a good tutor the connection is poor, and it disconnect in the middle of my session! Very frustrating!

I lost connection from a previous session because of my internet dropping where I was almost done with the problem I started with in this second session, and it took us nearly an hour to go through it again even though I was nearly done with it the first time. I also lost all previous notes because my connection was dropped, and you seem to have a hard cut off at an hour. Just wasn't optimal in my opinion. There also seemed to be some miscommunication between me and this second tutor is all. It was okay but not great all things considered.
