“John is one of the most empathetic, compassionate, and invested instructors I have worked beside. John changed hundreds of lives year over year by imparting wisdom (life and industry), leveraging and mentoring his TA team, and helping students to understand the science of learning. Yes, the boot camp is tough and John emphasizes this on day one. He also has a gift for assuring students that they will be successful. John illuminates the wins for students and because he believes so fervently in his students' potential and capacity for success, they believe it, and achieve it. Yes, we know this by evaluating data (John's graduation rates and KPI are consistently in the top 10% company-wide). John knows this because he keeps track of his developers as they progress in their careers. John genuinely cares about each student in his classes. The feeling is mutual. "In my 20 years of formal schooling I can't remember having such intuitive, caring, and focused instructors. You have been so good at giving me the "just right" level of hand-holding. I never felt coddled, but I never felt abandoned either. You have inspired me to give this course my all. " " John you were an amazing instructor and you made a very safe learning environment, which can be hard to do!" "I've learned more in 6 months than I did in my 4 year bachelor degree and had fun doing it. You're all super patient with our questions, while also maintaining the pace of the class. I can honestly say John is one of the best instructors I've ever had, including my college professors." "Thank you so much John. You are an amazing person and have helped so many of us on this journey! Your teaching and wisdom is greatly appreciated! " "If it wasn't for your patience and a consistent " You can do this" attitude, this course would not have been possible to accomplish. " "This course is life changing. Thank you John and TA’s for making it a great experience! Your patience and dedication is truly inspiring." I will really miss working with John. I enjoyed our 1:1s, graduation celebrations, and the many thank you notes I have read over the years that confirm for me that we are indeed changing lives. I grew as a professional knowing John. Thank you, John.”
