With a softrware engineering degree and years of experience writing code daily as a software engineer, I have developed comprehensive expertise in computer programming that I'm excited to pass on thro... ugh tutoring. My education provided rigorous training in languages like Java, Python, C++, SQL, and JavaScript. I have professional experience building applications in both front end and back end languages. This gives me a well-rounded technical foundation to teach core programming concepts, syntax, data structures, algorithms, and problem solving techniques. In my current software engineering role, I work collaboratively on large code bases using version control and agile development workflows. I stay up-to-date on emerging languages and frameworks through continued learning. This experience lets me share real world insights into writing production-grade code. Most importantly, I have a passion for breaking down complex technical topics into understandable, hands-on examples. My approach is to meet students where they are at and provide the support needed to gain confidence coding independently. I'm excited at the chance to help budding programmers unlock their potential whether just starting out or working to improve existing skills. Please consider me to help you achieve your computer programming learning goals.read more

I currently live in Cary, North Carolina where I'm finishing up my Master's degree in computer science at Virginia Tech while working full time as a cybersecurity engineer. I'm an avid hobbyist who en... joys activities like playing Pokemon and Magic the Gathering, getting into real estate investing, weight lifting, 3D printing, and tinkering with new technology. What I love about tutoring is being able to help students overcome those a-ha moments when a tricky concept finally clicks. I tutored fellow college students in subjects like programming and calculus during my undergrad years at Arizona State University. It was extremely rewarding seeing that spark of understanding light up in their eyes. I'm patient and enjoy breaking down complex topics into digestible chunks tailored to each learner's needs. My philosophy is that anyone can master a subject with the right support and approach. I take pride in assessing my student's strengths and weaknesses to figure out the best way for them to comprehend the material. Experimenting with different teaching methods until I find what works is crucial. Building confidence through hands-on application is key as well. Overall, I aim to fuel a curiosity and passion for learning in my students. When I'm not studying, working, or tutoring, you can find me battling online in Pokemon tournaments, catching up on the latest Magic card sets, reading real estate investing books, hitting the gym, or starting my latest 3D printing project. The joy of learning and sharing knowledge drives me as a tutor and permeates my hobbies as well. I look forward to applying my experience and passions to help motivate students achieve their academic goals.read more
