Award-Winning Algorithms Tutors serving Akron, OH

...computer science topics but am most excited to teach Python. Topics may include anything from the basics (data types, control structures, etc.) to more advanced areas, such as object-oriented programming, data structures, list comprehension, recursion, and more. My approach to teaching involves two strategies. First, I use metaphors to describe unfamiliar topics in a way that is more relatable and intuitive. Second, after guiding your learning, I will give you the opportunity to teach me in...

...bit nerdy, but to be honest, I genuinely love mathematics. Back in junior high and high school, I used to spend my spare time either practicing for math meets or competing at them. (I earned myself a fair amount of scholarship money that way, so don't knock it 'til you try it!) I still find myself doing random math tricks with roadsigns and the like, but nowadays, I usually spend my spare time training my...

I am a student at The University of Tulsa studying Mathematics and Computer Science. My areas of expertise are in the general subject of math and computer programming. In my free time I enjoy reading and I my Christian Faith is an important part of my daily life.

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science. I taught advanced computer science courses (C#, programming, Algorithms) for 6 years for graduate students at the university. My classes usually had more than 25 students. I'm passionate about teaching, especially programming, and love to make an influence on my students and see them succeed. I also enjoy academic writing and research.

...solved intractable problems on a professional level. I've worked with computer vision on a collegiate level and some personal projects in my spare time. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not reusing my fundamentals in my day-to-day work; be it programming, analyzing, or software architecture. I have been programming since I was 6 years old (1987). I first started programming in BASIC on a TI-99 computer. I formally began my education...

...easier way for students to find the answer. Which I have witnessed the effectiveness of this method, time and time again. Be that as it may, here is a bigger requirement for further advancement and production of learning to succeed in the game of life. And from my experiences, the best effective teaching style comes down to examining if the student understands the concept versus just assisting them to find the actual solution. The future...

...it comes to how to teach students and understand how they want to be taught. I believe that students will learn more by genuinely understanding the material. Therefore instead of throwing a bunch of practice questions at students and hoping for the best, I think that it is beneficial to slow down and explain concepts thoroughly, give extra examples, and listen to the student's input. ACT: 34, 31 Math, 34 Science, 36 Reading/Writing SAT: 800...

...Physics. I have tutored in all of those areas for about 4 years now. My personal strategy in working with a new student is to gauge their goals, both short-term and long-term. Whether they are aiming to learn new concepts quickly, or deep dive into a new area, my aim is to match their pace and provide whatever support I can to help them reach these goals. I have joined Varsity Tutors for the opportunity...

...have always actively encouraged students to ask any questions even if they may think it is silly. This has lead to great discussions that have always ended up with the student(s) gaining both knowledge and confidence. I have spent a long time studying for courses myself, so I fully understand the constant struggle to learn new material, so positivity and understanding are always at the highest priority. I have tutored students of ages ranging from...

...my teaching method around that. My first teaching experience was instructing undergraduates while pursuing my master's at UCR. It was a very enjoyable experience in which I was able to help students broaden their knowledge and skills to succeed in the class and their future classes. This in and of itself was very rewarding, but it also allowed me to continue improving my understanding of the subject area as I searched for new ways to...
