Coding Tutor
About
I am a college student who loves programming and has experience working with children and teens from elementary school through high school. I tutor in both Java and Python and enjoy helping others become more fluent in and find joy in coding. My goal is to teach coding in a way that is fun and accessible. I work to create projects and lesson that are applicable to personal projects and help show the possibilities of what can be built and expressed through code.
Please feel free to contact me with more questions/information.
I love the problem solving and creative aspects of programming as well as the flexibility in what you can create with it. I enjoy tutoring because it is an opportunity to share what I love with others!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first like to begin by evaluating where a student is at already. If they have ever coded before I will often ask to see an example of something they may currently be working on, or if they have not I will speak with them to see where their starting level of understanding is. I also ask about their interests and what their goals are to help guide me in which projects and topics will be the most helpful for them.
I will then start with small projects to help them develop new skills and tools they can use in their code and grow these projects/lessons over time. I am also always happy to help breakdown the steps necessary to create a project a student may be wanting to create and help support and guide them through that process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a college student currently studying both Python and Java. I also have previous experience working with children both as a tutor and in previous jobs. Outside of tutoring, I have previously worked in a daycare, a summercamp, and in children's art classes.
