I understand that sometimes, we need more than just blog posts to read. That is why I came to create the audio versions of the blogs. Ideal for on-the-go learning, whether you're driving, walking, or simply relaxing, they offer an engaging way to absorb knowledge anytime, anywhere. But that's not all! Personal support can make a significant difference than all of the above, and at BuddyTutor.com, I offer personalized 1-on-1 mentoring sessions on weekends and holidays. These sessions are tailored to your needs, helping you grasp concepts at your own pace and style.
Join me on this exciting journey of knowledge and discovery, where every learning challenge is an opportunity for growth. Together, let's make learning effortless and enjoyable!

I come from an electronics background with limited programming knowledge, and despite securing a job in the software industry, I found myself in a support project. Struggling to clear development team interviews due to a lack of programming language expertise, I was fortunate to get guidance from my better half, Heartin.
Heartin took it upon himself to teach me Java from the ground up. His training and mentoring was invaluable as he patiently led me through the intricacies of programming, ensuring I understood each concept thoroughly. His teaching methodology, practical questions, and unwavering support played a pivotal role in shaping my career as a programmer.
I not only gained the necessary skills but also successfully cracked development team interviews. Today, I find myself leading a technical development team, a feat that seemed unattainable before.
