It was my first English-speaking mentor! And Larry is perfect. Helped me well with everything: rated my resume, showed me how to improve it, and led me through 3 different mock interviews. Also, he helped me with System Design, which greatly improved my understanding of frontend architecture and my capabilities.

Larry is a great mentor and will tailor everything you need to do, to achieve your goals. He has allowed me to gain more knowledge in the short time with him than the time I have teaching myself. Wish I had done this sooner.
