"Hi Wyzant; I’m Sarah. I’m new to the Wyzant platform, but have over 6 years experience teaching and tutoring in software/coding skills. I’d love to help you build skills (and confidence) in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, databases, Node/Express, and more! 

I’ve spent my career in software development, with a primary focus on front-end development. In 2017, I was hired to teach a part-time full-stack bootcamp. At the time, I was signing on solely for the money, to help me save towards buying a home. By the end of my first week teaching though, I knew with certainty that teaching coding was my life’s passion!

I’ve been teaching bootcamps and software development apprenticeships ever since. My former students tell me I am uniquely skilled at breaking complex concepts down into beginner-friendly bites, and helping students improve their practical skills, conceptual knowledge, and confidence.

I have significant experience teaching software/web development in both a classroom (online and in-person) and a 1:1 setting. My knowledge base includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, OOP concepts, React, React Native, Redux, Node/Express, MySQL, MongoDB, ORMs, Firebase, Git, Agile Methodologies, interview prep, Java, Spring Boot, Python, and Flask.

While most of my students have been adult age, I am comfortable teaching junior high and high school students, as well. My teaching style will be especially helpful for individuals working (or struggling) through JavaScript-based coding bootcamps. My sense of humor, experience with adult learning strategies, and experience training new dev talent can be great assets on your coding journey.

Coding can feel VERY challenging and overwhelming. Let me help you build your skills, knowledge, and confidence, and teach you to unleash the magic of coding!
