...goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

Boston Computer Science Tutoring FAQ
If you or a student in your family is enrolled in computer science classes and could benefit from private instruction, contact Varsity Tutors to be connected with top-flight Boston computer science tutors.
Computer science is a branch of information technology that focuses on programming and includes areas of study such as software engineering, databases, operating systems, artificial intelligence, and information security, to name a few. Studying computer science can open up a number of career options, like software engineer, database administrator, or systems analyst. The subject of computer science covers a number of different sub-fields, and many students find that certain areas of study come easy to them, while others are a bit more challenging.
We can assist you in finding the help your student needs to feel equally confident in all the fields that fall under the umbrella of computer science.
How is Boston computer science tutoring different from classroom learning?
In a traditional classroom, the teacher is tasked with covering a wide range of information over the course of a year, or semester. Often, in order to assure that no material gets missed, they will develop a rigid curriculum, with specific units of time allotted to specific topics. It's an approach that makes a lot of sense from the teacher's perspective, and for students who have a fairly strong grasp of the material already, it doesn't really present much of a problem.
But for students who struggle with the subject, the steady pace that the class must follow can make them feel like they are being left behind. With Boston computer science tutors, you don't have to feel like you are being left behind. During tutoring sessions, you can get one-on-one attention from a dedicated instructor, and the added time with the material can help you feel like you are better able to keep on pace with the rest of the class.
When your student works with Boston computer science tutoring, their instructor can begin by assessing their individual learning preferences. Once their tutor has a sense of how they learn and process information, they can plan and develop their lessons accordingly. Let's say you have a student who is predominantly a visual learner. Recognizing this, their instructor might incorporate color-coded charts and diagrams to illustrate things like sorting algorithms or data structures.
Or, if your student prefers to listen to lectures and ask questions as they occur to them, their instructor might engage them in a dialogue about the theoretical underpinnings of programming principles like encapsulation, or polymorphism. When a student is able to engage with the material according to their own learning preferences, they can gain a deeper understanding of that material, and by better understanding, be better able to recall it in the future.
The field of computer science employs a lot of different kinds of knowledge and information, and so it shouldn't be any surprise that some students really click with certain ideas or concepts, while also finding others challenging. A student may have a real knack for understanding various programming languages, for example, but get hung up when it comes to search algorithms. With Boston computer science tutors, your student can have a say in what gets covered during sessions. If there is a part of the subject matter that they already understand pretty well, then they can skim that, or skip it entirely. This leaves more time to cover the ideas and concepts relating to computer science they do have trouble with.
What are the benefits of studying with Boston computer science tutors near me?
Perhaps the greatest benefits of having you or your student work with Boston computer science tutors is the individualized attention students get from their instructor. Because your student is the sole focus, their instructor can plan their sessions according to their learning preferences and subject matter needs. That individualized approach also means that the tutor is able to be responsive to your student's evolving needs.
As sessions start, your student and their tutor may determine that what they need to work on most is understanding databases, and the differences between SQL and NoSQL databases. But after a few sessions, it may turn out your student is picking this information up rather quickly. Seeing this, their tutor can them move them on to something they may find more challenging, like search algorithms, or dynamic programming.
When a student studies with Boston computer science tutors, they have the opportunity to work closely with an experienced educator with knowledge of the field. Over time a rapport can develop between student and tutor. That relationship can be the foundation for developing a comfortable study environment. When a student is having trouble with a particular subject, trying to study that subject can make them uneasy, even anxious.
When they bring that unease into the classroom, it makes it still harder to engage with the material, and they can fall farther behind. If the student can become comfortable in their environment, they can grow comfortable with the material too. And, as they grow comfortable studying the material outside of the classroom, they can bring that newfound ease and understanding into the classroom as well.
Because sessions with Boston computer science tutoring are face-to-face, students are able to pose questions to their instructor and have those questions answered immediately. There are a lot of concepts in computer science that rely on subtle sequencing, where one little error someplace can throw everything off. When your student works with a private instructor, they have another set of eyes looking at their work, that can spot those errors, and show your student how to correct them, before they cause problems somewhere down the line.
How can I fit Boston computer science tutoring into my schedule?
There is already so much you have to try to fit into your schedule. School pick-ups, extracurriculars, not to mention work. The idea of finding room in all that for extra study time, no matter how beneficial it might be, can seem next to impossible. That's why Varsity Tutors strives to make it as convenient as possible to get connected with the best Boston computer science tutors for you or your student's specific needs. Sessions are available in online or in-person options. If you are concerned about the quality one way or the other, don't be. It's the same great instruction either way.
Of course, the online option does offer a little more in the way of convenience. Online sessions are conducted via our Live Learning Platform, which gives your student the freedom to take advantage of Boston computer science tutoring from almost anywhere. The platform also boasts several valuable learning features like video chat, a shared document editor, and a virtual whiteboard.
The video chat feature facilitates face-to-face interaction between student and tutor, and allows for real-time response to questions. A tutor can use the shared document editor to give written feedback to your student as they work through study questions. The virtual whiteboard is a valuable tool for illustrating concepts visually, and a tutor might use it to demonstrate the differences between various programming languages, like JAVA, C++, and C#. Plus, sessions with Boston computer science tutors are recorded, so if your student ever wants to go back and review anything from previous sessions, it's as easy as a couple clicks.
Taking Boston computer science tutoring sessions online means that you don't have to stress over the commute. Your student can attend from wherever makes the most sense for your family, whether that's from home, a nearby coffee shop, or a local library, like the Boston Public Library-Connolly Branch.
