"I am a software engineer with a strong background in education who LOVES helping people master difficult concepts. Before I got into tech, I worked as an educator for many years, and I now work for a startup that I love, and get to architect a lot of both frontend and backend solutions to provide a product that helps our clients. During busy seasons, I may not have as much time for tutoring as possible but will do my best to respond with my current availability!

Since I learned to code as an adult, I understand completely how challenging it is in the beginning. I take a positive, encouraging approach with clients. You will never feel judged for not knowing something, and I don't believe in stupid questions.

Before our session, I will ask for clarity on your goals for tutoring and will require you to send some material - a link to your project, a zip file, screenshots, or even just a clear description of what you want to achieve. This will let me assess whether I can help you, as well as ensure that I am prepared for our session so that we maximize our time.

My experience includes:

JavaScript

Python

React

Redux

CSS

Tailwind

Bootstrap

HTML

Node.js

MongoDB

MySQL

PostgreSQL

Heroku (for node.js and/or react apps)

Netlify

AWS services including: DynamoDB, S3, Amplify, IAM, Lambda

Random fact about me: I have the sweetest senior golden retriever, Luna.

If you're looking for a judgment-free zone to learn or improve a new skill, please reach out to me! It would be my absolute pleasure to assist you on your coding journey. If you need help with something not listed on my profile, please reach out to me to ask. I have a versatile background and truly love tutoring whenever I get the chance!" less...
