"Hello! I am a professional software engineer with over 10 years of industry experience, including 6 years of hands-on Java backend development and several years working with large-scale SQL and data systems. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with core computer science concepts such as object-oriented programming, data structures, debugging, and problem solving in real-world applications. I have experience supporting production systems and explaining technical ideas clearly to teammates with different levels of technical background. I primarily work with high school and college students who are learning computer programming, Java, and foundational computer science concepts.

As a tutor, my approach is focused on patience, clarity, and building genuine understanding. I like to break problems down step by step, explain the reasoning behind solutions, and help students feel confident in how they approach coding challenges. Whether a student needs help understanding programming fundamentals, debugging assignments, or preparing for exams, I tailor each session to their learning style and goals. My aim is for students to leave each session not only having solved the immediate problem, but also feeling more comfortable and capable working through similar problems on their own." less...
