• Calculus first year: Luyabonga is very patient and is also able to explain in a manner which I can understand.
• Discreet Math first year (Math for Computer Science): Luyabonga was able to take work that I did not understand at all and simplify so well that I clicked it immediately after his explanation.
• Calculus first year: Luyabonga was very patient and had great teaching ideas. He knew how to teach each topic that my course required us to learn, and he also had other ways to solve problems that were efficient for my learning. He was very flexible with times and always happy to give me extra help with math problems. Luyabonga would make sure I fully understood a concept and how to do it before moving on. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone who needs a tutor for calculus.
