Hi, there

Let's say I am writing an article in January 2018.

In the following paragraph, Why should I say "who HAVE provided me with knowledge"? If I am writing na article in January 2018 and I want to say the teachers helped me from , say, March 2017 to December 2017, why should I use the presente perfect? Shoudn't I say "who provided me with knowledge.."? Shouldn't I use the SIMPLE PAST?

"I can’t help but thank my professor and adviser, who has helped me throughout (the) last year especially in december, as well as the professors from the social sciences department , who PROVIDED ME/HAVE PROVIDED ME with knowledge in sociology and several other areas."?

Thank you

Please, I need your help
