Finding it hard to understand his English, and he constantly says "actually" to the point that I find it very annoying and distracting.

Why 1 star...
Had troubles understanding what he was saying. I would suggest to write down a script with what he wanted to say then read it slowly and clearly and then show on screen how to do what you just read.

Best luck!!

I have learned some new things from this course about how to develop Wordpress plugins. But I did find that when following along in a particular sections, the code between videos is not consistent.

I like to type my code in, rather than copy and paste as I think this exercise helps you retain knowledge better. There are some big jumps where the tutor introduces some new functions and skims over their purpose.

Would be nice if there was a diagram that explains the theory of how the options page works.
