One of the most expert, friendliest and helpful tutors ever

I am a student from Singapore who seeked Kuldeep's guidance on my Linux assignment. Kuldeep was able to accommodate me very last minute, and he was so knowledgeable and such an expert that he was able to guide me through the entire assignment thoroughly. I had been struggling with the assignment for almost one month, despite watching numerous tutorials online.

So grateful to Kuldeep once again for all the help. He's literally a life saver. Lots of patience, a wealth of knowledge, and a humourous, approachable personality, all of which are the most important traits in a tutor. Kuldeep is fluent in english and no issues with communications at all, something I was initially sceptical about, as he used to work in Singapore as well. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs cybersecurity help, whether for professional work or other students like myself who just need some guidance. Forever grateful and look forward to learning from you again
