"My name is Michael, I graduated from Georgia College & State University with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I have over 4 years of experience in the tech industry, beginning with my several years as a Technical Support Specialist, guiding users across the U.S. through a wide range of computer tasks and troubleshooting technical issues with patience and clarity. I started learning Python programming at the beginning of 2020 and further honed my skills through App Academy, an intensive 24-week coding boot camp, with high test scores. After completing the program, I transitioned into a teaching assistant role at the same boot camp for 6 months. I tutored students ages 18 and up to grasp complex coding concepts, debug their projects, and build confidence in their coding abilities. I worked 1-on-1 with students so I could adapt to their needs. I then went on to work for over a year as a software engineer.

With firsthand experience in both learning, teaching, I understand the challenges that come with mastering coding and will tailor my lessons to fit your learning style. Whether you’re just starting out, working through a tough coding problem, or looking to refine your skills, I will do my best to create structured lessons that help you achieve your goals.

I specialize in Python and JavaScript, helping with everything from fundamental coding principles to complex projects. My approach is hands-on and practical, ensuring that you not only understand the material but also develop the ability to apply it in real scenarios. I believe the best way to learn is by diving into projects as soon as possible, allowing you to apply what you've learned and build confidence in your skills. Working on a project that genuinely interests you and has real-world use can greatly boost your motivation and drive to see it through to completion.

If you're looking for patient, personalized guidance in coding, I’d be happy to help! Feel free to reach out, and let’s start working towards your programming goals." less...
