I am a Computer Science major at UCSB. As a tutor, I care most about whether or not my students understand that material being taught. I understand that different students learn in different ways. And I do my best to find the methods that work for my students.

...and math to physical processes. It's my belief that the real factors for success are time and effort, everyone has the ability to be an expert with practice and the true challenge is learning to focus on the skills someone wants to improve. I'm a huge fan of live music, hiking, swimming, running, movies and tea or ideally any combination. I enjoy anything that can represent scientific concepts, which is pretty much everything, and my...

Hello, I'm Brian Canty! I'm a patient and relaxed math and writing tutor who is preparing for his third year at UC Santa Barbara as an Electrical Engineer. I believe that communication with my students is the key to helping them learn, and that we can always find a teaching strategy that works.... It is best to work slowly and steadily with students to ensure they understand a problem every step of the way. All questions are welcome.

I always like to emphasize "the basics" or "the building blocks" when I tutor, because oftentimes these concepts can be easily forgotten, and having a more wholesome understanding of the basics can almost always make the rest of a subject "click," especially in math or hard sciences....

...face when he understands a concept is priceless. The power a student feels when she is able to understand and solve problems is unlimited.

I received my Bachelor's in Computer Science from MIT, and am passionate about helping others! Learning has always come easy to me, and it's something I want to pass on to those around me. I was also the Valedictorian of my high school in colorado and was a top10 all-purpose football player at MIT. Everybody learns differently, and I want to help you achieve your goals!

My tutoring experience ranges from teaching a mid-20s Bloomberg employee how to program in Python to helping fellow MIT computer science undergraduates understand the more thorny minutiae of digital system design. I spend most of my free time programming, reading about transportation and politics, and playing softball most summer weekends.

...curriculum and can help tutor Math and Science. I enjoy helping others learn, and I enjoy teaching others computer skills. I like seeing the students I have worked with develop confidence in their work and I prefer to stress the ability to tie several programming concepts together rather than focusing on ultra-specific details. I think it is more important for the students I work with to have the ability to think outside the box and...
