“Best session I’ve had, Ilya really took the time to go through it helping my understanding and helped to build my confidence making me feel like I know stuff even if it’s very little and blurry. Other mentors have caused me to doubt I will ever be able to get the hang of this but Ilya is so patient and has really encouraged me to keep trying and not give up! Thank you so much Ilya for your patience and understanding!!” — Miriam Payne, Support Engineer at SAP
“Ilya is a great teacher and mentor. I tried lots of different ways to learn React but it didn’t really click until I started working with him. Ilya also helped me to understand basic principles and approaches that can be applied to any programming language. He gets straight to the point and always finds ways to guide me and challenge me so I can find solutions to problems by myself.
Our journey together has taken me from playing around with an idea to have a working prototype with multiple complex components interconnected, and potentially release an application soon. Ilya’s ability to keep the momentum going has been the key factor to make this happen.” — Juan Mediavilla
“I would recommend Ilya to anyone learning to be a front-end developer. In addition to teaching technical skills, he puts a lot of focus on explaining how to navigate the mental hurdles of being a programmer. Through working with Ilya, I am learning how to better manage my focus and approach coding problems more mindfully. I have had several breakthroughs, and I wouldn’t be the developer I am today without his guidance.
While Ilya has helped me with learning the technical side of frontend development, he does something that I know most bootcamps do not even touch: how to handle mental pressures and feeling overwhelmed. Besides the consistency that working with a mentor brings, this is the key to growing as a developer, in my opinion.” — Courtney Walsh
“I would definitely recommend Ilya to anyone who has experience in coding but wants to get hands-on quickly to a project and complete it, from start to finish, with zero bullshit in between” — Omer Ben Shushan
“As an entrepreneur, I always prefer to create a working prototype for my new initiatives. So lately as I had to learn React I was looking for a way to add external teaching alongside self-learning.

He helped me to achieve my goals faster and much better.” — Shai Adler, Entrepreneur, CO-Owner of Pretty Ballerinas Israel

“For some time now I was trying to find a high quality source to learn development. I have taken a number of courses, recorded and frontal. The course with Ilya is one of the best. He adapts the learning program to the student, and has a unique method that requires the learner to activate the mind and understand the processes he is doing. Ilya is a patient teacher, with extensive knowledge in the field, and gives a lot of support. Highly recommend to anyone who is serious and wants to understand the material thoroughly and to achieve great hands-on results.” — Faris Mulla
“Ilya has mentored me in Javascript and React. He is very knowledgeable and very detailed at explaining things.
