Jackson: West Haven tutor
Certified Tutor
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Rhode Island and have completed both a backend development internship at GBCS SkyIT and a full-stack developer apprenticeship. Alongside these experiences, I've worked on several passion projects that not only strengthened my technical expertise but also taught me how to break down complex topics into clear, engaging lessons.
I tutor in computer sciencewith a focus on high-level programming in Python and Javaas well as in chess, a discipline that sharpens strategic thinking and problem-solving. I believe effective tutoring is about more than just sharing information; it's about meeting students where they are, building their confidence, and helping them truly connect with the subject matter.

I develop apps and scripts for fun. Here's a website for a game I made a few years ago: https://jacksonrich5.wixsite.com/website. Right now I'm working on an iOS todo app called OneThing, which only shows you your current todo instead of your entire list. Research shows that the simple act of choosing one todo from your list is psychologically taxing in several ways. I also see overall potential in the market of personal todo apps, since most todo apps are aimed at businesses. Apart from nerd stuff, I enjoy skateboarding, playing chess and making pixel art.
