"I have 20+ years of programming experience and 15+ years of teaching, specializing in Data Structures, Algorithms, Data Science, AP & USACO, Web Design, and Game Design. My strength is simplifying complex concepts and guiding students from beginner to expert level.

I’ve worked with students of all ages in Computer Science (C++, Java, Python, C#), Game Design (Roblox, Processing), Web Design (SQL, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Node.js, jQuery, Flask), and Data Science (Pandas, Numpy, SciKitLearn). I’ve published iOS apps, Roblox games, and business websites, and trained programmers for interviews. I earned perfect Math SAT scores and top AP marks in Math and Physics. I hold CBEST and TEFL teaching certifications, taught in classrooms for 5 years, and have tutored full time with WyzAnt since 2013.

Whether you’re catching up, getting ahead, or building a project, I can help. I use clear examples, metaphors, and live drawing to match each student’s learning style. My approach is student-centered and based on proven international teaching methods. As a classroom teacher, I taught over 1,000 students and was known as the teacher “everyone wanted.” On WyzAnt, I’ve taught over 2,000 students with a 5-star rating.

In 2014, I wrote and acted in a feature film. My hobbies include VR, ancient writing systems, Rubik’s Cubes, stock & options trading, and memorizing Pi digits. I run a YouTube channel and am an Eagle Scout and Troop Leader.

My philosophy: A teacher must understand the student, and a student must believe they can learn. True learning builds understanding—and understanding builds lasting problem-solving skills." less...
