I'm an adamant believer in that there's always more to learn, and I...

...concept you've got in front of you. I don't like to think of tutoring as additional teaching so much as untangling stuff you've already been taught, and helping you fully understand things you already sort of know. And in computer science - my field of expertise - any big problem you throw into the world can be divided and conquered, as long as you know how. The door is already there. You've already got the...
