Jackson: Western Springs tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. I tutor a variety of subjects including Java, Python, data structures, algorithms, AP Calculus AB, and introductory-level mathematics, with a particular focus on AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A. Having taken both AP Computer Science courses myself, I understand the challenges students face and how to explain complex concepts in clear, relatable ways.
I am passionate about making computer science education more accessible to all students. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn coding and computational thinking, regardless of their background or prior experience. My goal is to break down barriers by providing clear, patient, and personalized support that helps students build confidence and enjoy learning computer science.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy working on coding projects, gaming, exploring new technology, and staying up to date with innovations in the tech world.

Gaming & Game Development: I play competitive and strategy-heavy games like Overwatch 2, Rust, and League of Legends, which inspire my passion for building games. I develop fully playable games in Unity, creating everything from movement systems to enemy behavior, with plans to ship them in the future. Programming, Fullstack Development: I enjoy solving complex programming problems in my free time. I use tools like Next.js, Node.js, and Tailwind CSS to create beautiful web and mobile experiences. I'm also interested in AI and machine learning, and I like experimenting with models, logic systems, and intelligent features that push how software can behave and respond. Rock Climbing & Bouldering: When I’m not coding or gaming, I’m climbing. Rock climbing and bouldering challenge me physically and mentally, and they give me a healthy, focused break from tech.
