My code looks different from the solution. Please check the smell.

It works the way it was intended, but I just wanted to check if this is still a good way to do it. 

name = input("What's your name? ")
answer = input("{}, do you understand Python while loops?\n(Enter y/n)".format(name)) 
while answer != "y":
    answer = input("Ok, {}, while loops in Python repeat as long as a certain Boolean condition is met.\n{}, now do you understand Python while loops?\n(Enter y/n)".format(name, name))
print("That's great, {}. I'm pleased that you understand while loops now. That was getting repetitive.".format(name))```
