Kingsley provided incredibly informative and helpful assistance with my SQL and PHP project. They patiently walked me through every question I had, offering clear explanations and practical solutions. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the complexities of SQL queries and PHP scripting.

Kinsley is so awesome. He is patient, kind, takes the time to make sure that all of my questions are answered, and that I know and understand the changes that have been made to my code. I also appreciate that he has been able to accommodate my incredibly busy schedule, and that his fees allow him to be accessible to me for my needs.

Kingsley got in and was able to understand the project really quickly, help me to implement the necessary functions, and explain to me what was done. He made sure that I understood and welcomed me back to ask any further questions as needed. I'll be reaching out to Kingsley the next time I need help. Thank you!

Kingsley was able to accommodate my hectic schedule, and jump right in to help me figure out this mess that I had created, and to actually show progress on the tasks I've been assigned. It's been great working with him thus far and I'm looking forward to our next session.

I'm more than grateful to Kingsley and his patience. He went the extra mile and beyond by helping debug my local env before jumping to the actual issue. He really cares if I am learning and his patience made me feel in a safe environment to learn. I am looking froward to keep working with him in the future! :)
