"Struggling to learn to code? Overwhelmed by AP Computer Science? Stuck on a Performance Task or lost on concepts like inheritance, recursion, or object-oriented programming? You can rest easy now that you've found me! :)

I’ve been tutoring programming students on Wyzant since 2020, with a strong focus on AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A. Whether your goal is to raise your grade, gain real confidence in programming, or earn a 5 on the AP exam, I can help.

My teaching style is different from most classrooms. Instead of memorizing syntax, we focus on understanding how and why code works. We break problems down, build strong problem-solving habits, and make sure you truly understand the underlying concepts. When that clicks, memorization becomes unnecessary.

I hold a Master of Science in Technical Game Design from UCF’s Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA), one of the top-ranked game development programs in the world. During my final semester, I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, leading lab sessions and teaching programming concepts in C#.

I also earned my Bachelor’s degree in Game Design from UCF with a minor in Computer Science, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 3.9 GPA. Before that, I attended Pine Crest Preparatory School, completed over 10 AP courses, and graduated with a 4.4 weighted GPA. I’ve been through rigorous coursework at every level and understand exactly what AP students are dealing with.

Please note: I do not complete assignments for students, assist with last-minute requests due unreasonably soon, or provide services that violate academic integrity. My goal is to give students the tools they need to succeed independently. I’m also open to tutoring non-AP programming courses if the material closely overlaps." less...
