Wow he works fast, he was able to teach me more in our short session then I would have been able to learn in a week of Google searches and code fails.

Adam immediately identified the issues with my code and promptly rectified the problem. He has impressive knowledge of Ruby, Rails and Git, and in addition to providing me with a solution, he offered me several tips to improve my application.

Session was great, Adam is helping me prepare for a Rails job. He anticipates the questions I need to master to do well on interviews.

Adam was straight up awesome. He helped me debug my program in stages while also going over where I was making mistakes. He also showed me a lot of cool tricks and development processes to save me some time with my future projects.

Very helpful, and walked me through the changes that he was making. Also showed me some alternative ways in which I was not aware of.
