Princeton Computer Science Tutor

My name is Ari Brown, and I’m a software developer pursuing a Computer Science degree at Princeton University. I have technical experience with Javascript, Java, C, and Python (including Matplotlib and Pandas), as well as computer graphics using OpenGLSL. I spent two years working for the Princeton University Computer Science Department as a Teaching Assistant, during which I helped students design and debug code across classes in Algorithms, Data Structures, and Systems. I also completed an internship at VIZIO Inc., where I wrote Python and SQL scripts to organize and query data from a JSON database, and coordinated a research project between VIZIO and Marketcast analyzing the efficacy of product placement.

My defining qualities as an educator are my enthusiastic, outgoing personality, which makes learning with me an enjoyable and rewarding experience, and my ability to conceptualize ideas from a layman's perspective-- I've often been praised for the way I break things down in an intuitive fashion.

My passion for teaching is attested by the various jobs I have held as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant in the Princeton University Computer Science Department. Over two years, I have taught and reviewed the fundamentals of computer programming through my positions as Lab Facilitator and Precept Assistant, while helping students design and debug their own code in my position as a Lab TA.
