June

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +59 Subjects

I'm an electrical engineering major at Brown University with interests in neuroscience, linguistics, and robotics, among other things. I've always loved learning, and my curiosity has led me through numerous subject areas. I constantly seek to apply my classroom learning in practical situations. For example, I have conducted research on dementia using electrophysiology in a mollusk model. I participate in hackathons and robotics challenges that test not only my programming ability but also my hardware skills as a tinkerer. My engineering pursuits require a strong foundation in mathematics, my interest in the life sciences calls for a myriad of memorization techniques, and my participation in the academic world at large reminds me daily of the importance of sharp writing skills. I hope to share some of these things, both content and technique, with my students. Though I will make sure that they can come away from each session armed with the skills needed to take on the modern education system, I also hope that they will take with them some appreciation for learning itself.

Alan

Geometry Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a graduate of Boston Latin School and MIT. I have loved math and science since I was a child, and I loved my time at MIT, earning a BS in Materials Science, a PhD in Materials Science, and doing post doctoral work there. After leaving that academic world, I was drawn to software engineering and started my own software consulting business, which I have run for many years. I found that tutoring my sons and daughters and other young people in math has been very rewarding and that my enthusiasm for math and science can be infectious. My approach to instruction is to determine quickly what issues prevent the student from understanding the material and to work in a supportive and guided manner to help the student achieve success. Nothing makes me happier than helping a student to gain confidence by mastering a topic they were having trouble with. I love music, mostly jazz and rock, a love I got from my parents. I read science fiction, and do Tai Chi, and am working towards becoming an instructor, which is another form of tutoring as I see it. I am an Eagle Scout, and for many years, I have mentored young men who are working on attaining that rank. I volunteer to help the seniors in my home town with electronic device problems in their homes. I believe that a good education is the foundation for success in life. I like to think I've motivated and encouraged many young minds to achieve success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Debugging is a critical skill that goes beyond just finding syntax errors. Tutors help you develop a systematic approach to problem-solving by teaching you how to read error messages, use debugging tools, and trace through your code logically. Rather than just pointing out what's wrong, expert tutors guide you through the process of identifying where logic breaks down, which builds your confidence in tackling unfamiliar errors independently.

Syntax is the specific rules of a programming language (like how to write a loop or function), while logic is the reasoning behind how your program works. Many students can memorize syntax but struggle with algorithmic thinking—breaking down complex problems into smaller steps. Tutors focus on helping you develop strong logical thinking skills so that when you switch programming languages, the underlying problem-solving approach transfers with you.

Computer science is fundamentally a hands-on subject—you can't truly understand how code works by just reading about it. Tutors work with you on real coding projects and provide detailed code review, helping you see patterns in good programming practices, learn from mistakes in a safe environment, and build the muscle memory needed for faster, more confident coding. This active practice is especially valuable for mastering data structures, algorithm design, and debugging techniques.

Absolutely. Computer science branches into many directions—web development, game development, data science, artificial intelligence, and more. Expert tutors can help you explore different specializations through targeted projects and coursework, whether you're deciding which path interests you most or diving deep into a specific area. They can also align your learning with real-world applications to make concepts more engaging and relevant.

Expert tutors understand core curriculum standards and common AP Computer Science courses (AP CSP and AP CSA). They tailor instruction to your specific school's curriculum while also teaching timeless problem-solving principles that transcend any single framework. Whether you're working toward an AP exam, completing course projects, or building foundational coding skills, tutors ensure your learning connects to your actual coursework and academic goals.

Algorithmic thinking—the ability to break down problems into step-by-step solutions—is a skill that develops through guided practice and feedback. Tutors help you work through problems starting with simpler examples, gradually increasing complexity while teaching you to recognize patterns and choose efficient approaches. Regular code review and discussion of different solution strategies strengthen your ability to think like a computer scientist.

Beyond improved grades, personalized instruction helps you develop independent problem-solving skills, confidence in debugging and testing your code, and a deeper understanding of how software actually works. Students typically see gains in their ability to tackle complex projects, write cleaner code, and approach new programming challenges with a systematic mindset—skills that transfer to any future coding work or computer science course.
