Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors in Everett, WA

...methods to the real world, in particular through the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I spend a significant fraction of my time developing my problem-solving skills with...

...opportunity to work closely with people from all educational, cultural, and professional backgrounds. I am passionate about education and teaching, and was one of the most frequently requested tutors in the center. My teaching style is very open while also maintaining a clear focus on the subject at hand. I believe that communication is key, and like to work WITH the student, answering any questions and teaching tips and tricks to make the subject easier....

...firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root of students' issues and find/develop a solution that fits their needs.... Everyone's able to learn something they consider hard, but it sometimes isn't enough to want or try to learn it. It's the teacher's job to package concepts in a way that works with and for the student.

...been computer technical support. I believe we all need computer help to get our work done, whatever that might be. Beyond that, I believe in a liberal education. The U.W.'s approach made all students, in all majors, take a wide variety of courses. Exactly as intended, this liberal education proved how knowledge in nearly any subject enhances understanding in many others. Exposure to a broad range of subjectsthe arts and humanities, the social and 'hard'...

...half providing tutoring support for some introductory computer science courses. These courses focused primarily on learning Python and some of the basic methods of computer science. I also worked as a physics tutor for an introductory physics course. During high school, I tutored elementary school and middle school music. When it comes to learning, I think it is most important to realize that everybody has a distinct learning style. This process of finding the right...

...use Office Spreadsheet, Writing, and Presentation programs. With my strong quantitative background, I can quickly learn and use new programming languages and software packages. I have worked in teams as part of the Mathematical Competition in Modeling (MCM) for three years as an undergraduate and in two of those years have been awarded the rank of Outstanding (2007) and Meritorious (2008). In the 2008 MCM, my team was also given the Ben Fusaro award for...

...am a college student at the University of Washington studying at the School of Engineering. I enjoy helping people learn and understand why things are. Past experience with teaching includes working at a tutoring center,and teaching sessions for grade schoolers about autonomous vehicles. I tutor for the ACT test as well as Math, physics, and computer science. The best teachers are enthusiastic. I believe that education is a key to success for both the individual...

...I'm Jay and I believe I'm a friendly, empathetic, and encouraging tutor. My favorite subjects are mathematics and computer science, but I'm not into those lame equations you have to memorize. I love the applied stuff, where you get to use the equations you learn in projects you enjoy (the memorization comes naturally that way). That's why I believe programming and mathematics go hand in hand. You learn some math, and then make a program...

...Reading Center, I was quickly given the responsibilities of an assistant instructor, as my boss acknowledged my ability to teach, guide, prepare work packages, and grade work. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, as I felt a great pride and happiness in seeing each student improve. My boss would designate the most difficult students to me, whether in academic difficulty or in attitude, and I learned many ways to help bolster a healthy learning environment...

First, a tutor needs to be concerned for his students and needs to create a friendly learning environment. Then, the tutor can establish a team in order to improve the product. The product is homework, quizzes and exams. Good study habits are very important. Many times a parent can help a student with this, so the team might consist of the tutor, student and a parent.
