Computer Science Tutoring
About
I have 4 jam packed years experience working with Java, and I code a lot in my free time. I am good at pointing out errors and can explain how to fix them.
I have taken AP Computer Science and finished with an A+ and got a 5 on the AP test. I have also completed various college classes and am pursuing a major in Computer Science

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will first ask them what they know, then what they are confused on. I will never tell the answer straight up, because that doesn't teach them anything. Building upon what they know and using real world examples is a great way to help students retain what they learn. After the problem is solved, I will give a brief summary of what we just did.
I make the lesson as fun and engaging as possible, and get to know the student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am majoring in computer science at my college, and enjoy coding. I have made several games using just Java, always challenging myself to learn something new each time. I code a lot, and with that, I have gained a lot of experience to recognize errors or when something can be written more efficiently.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I normally do $25 an hour, but also let me know if you would like to make an offer
I can teach Java from introductory level to advanced, and I know other languages such as Python, HTML/CSS, and C++
How did you get started teaching?
I have taught at after school programs at my church, and found it fun, so why not combine my love for computer science and teaching?
I have also worked at Code Ninjas, which we teach students to code video games
What types of students have you worked with?
I have experience teaching first grade through high school freshman. I find all levels fun; younger kids are a blast, and more advanced students help refine my skills.
