Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with a conversation about goals and how we can best meet them. If the student is ready to jump in or has their own plan, great! If not, I'm there to guide the process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied computer science at Northeastern University. I have been building enterprise-grade web and mobile applications for over a decade.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$60/hour flat rate. I don't mind small questions over text which I am happy to answer for all of my students during normal hours - I understand the nature of programming projects sometimes necessitates an iterative process!
How did you get started teaching?
I started tutoring when I was a recent graduate because I feel extremely lucky to have had the mentors in my own life that helped me get to the position that I'm in. I have a responsibility to the programming community to pass my knowledge to the next generation of developers.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students as young as 7, teaching them about file systems so that they could install their own Minecraft mods.
I have helped many high school seniors strengthen their computer science course grades and study for the AP computer science exam.
I am confident in providing tutoring to any student up to a college senior undergraduate level. Graduate students, please contact me to discuss your specific needs to determine if I can be of assistance.
