I have been teaching for sevenyears now, always inspired by the enthusiasm of people, acquiring new knowledge. Keep It Super Simple - the basic principle to follow, every complex theory or concept turns out clear and easily applicable. Currently, I am a technical writer and anAndroid developer, aimed at creating educational software products.
Before going into technology, however, I have been teaching English as a foreign language for more than 7 years. Teaching is what my passion remained - as people need to be explained, to be shown, to be helped to start speaking. I have been preparing students for the Cambridge FCE and CAE exams for more than 4 years. At the same time, my adult student have been on various levels - starting from the alphabet (A0) to being advanced (C1 level).

too slow, and is only showing code on image, not real one, she's not building an app

By Nelson Alfonso Montero Fontalvo on 6/7/2020

No es muy pedagogico colocar el cdigo en diapositivas y explicarlos. En programacin es mucho mejor ir mostrando como seguir los pasos

I was a good match. It is a good course to learn retrofit. But you show code snippets that creates confusion sometimes. And in starting, you had shown the project structure in which GitHubUserEndPoints was a class but later it came out to be an interface. I got cofused.
I refered to the Project Resourse you have provided and then I understood a lot. All over it is a good course.

very good course but not very details

By kaushal Topinkatti on 1/24/2020

The instructor is not typing the code and instead uses screenshots to explain the code, but this technique is also helpful and saves a lot of time making course sail to end faster and efficient. This course requires moderate level android understanding. At the end I highly recommend this course to you!!??
