Award-Winning Java Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...Mandarin. Intense projects and a heavy course load have helped to build a strong foundation in math, physics, and programming. When I came to this country, I was forced to overcome many language problems. I think the most important thing in tutoring is helping students find their own interest and stimulating their desires to get good grades for themselves. Work hard and play hard is the best way to succeed. I look forward to meeting...

...and strive to provide valuable real-world perspective for my students. I started teaching and tutoring simply because I truly find fulfillment in helping others to achieve their goals and learning. Computing is such an important field, and, in this industry, there is a real need for students to have as much understanding as possible not just about the programming tools, but also the techniques and skills needed for real-world software engineering. What my students most...

Hi, My name is Jinchi Zhang. I graduated from UC San Diego with a degree of Applied Mathematics. I have also been working as a software engineer in Seattle for a year. Nice to meet you!

Economist who loves sharing knowledge in areas ranging from math to statistics to political science to history and english writing!

...am currently enrolled in the University of Washington. My major is currently undeclared, though my primary interests are Computer Science, Comprehensive Mathematics, and/or ACMS: Discrete Math and Algorithms, with a possible minor in physics. While, I am passionate about all of these subjects, I am also generally interested in the progress of technology, and find myself excited at any new breakthrough. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe it to be necessary for...

...am a recent graduate from the University of Washington's interdisciplinary Bioengineering program. This is a highly competitive program that requires proficiency in nearly all areas of high school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's...

I am a potential friendly mathematician who is also interested in computer programming.

...lifelong learner, and I believe that a love of learning is one of the most important qualities a person can have. While I enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjects, I find tutoring Statistics and Economics especially rewarding because so many students believe that they don't have aptitude in the subject, only to find out that they just haven't had the right learning experience yet. In my spare time, I enjoy messing around with coding...

...UW. As a math major, I know exactly how valuable a good tutor can be and have been exposed to many tutoring styles. When it comes to tutoring, my personal philosophy is learning is meant to be engaging. If a student is having fun or has cultivated an interest in the subject matter, then they are far more willing to put in the time and effort necessary to understand the subject. In my spare time,...

...research analyst. While in high school, I gained extensive tutoring experience with elementary school and middle school students through Seattle Urban Squash - a non-profit organization dedicated to giving motivated students from underprivileged communities the opportunity to play on a local squash team and provide academic tutoring every day after school. Furthermore, I also served as a teachers assistant for my math teacher in high school and gained a great amount of exposure to seeing...

...helping out in a classroom when I was 12. My middle school had a special education center and I had the opportunity to work with a class of high-functioning, non-verbal 3rd graders for a year! Throughout high school, I babysat the four children of a family friend on a regular basis, helping with (elementary level) schoolwork whenever required. I began tutoring around the same time, working with the same student for three years. We focused...

...a recent graduate from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. in Computer Science. Following graduation, I have begun working top tech companies in the world. While I specialize in teaching Math and Computer Science, I try to help students master additional skills that can help them in all aspects of life. Being able to break down problems into smaller parts and understand how each part contributes to the larger picture can be...

I love to learn and to teach. Studied physics and electrical engineering in college. Lifelong music nerd.

...mathematics prompted me to take admission in the engineering and was transformed into teaching. I have taught subjects like elementary math, algebra, calculus, basics of electrical engineering, electrical machines, power electronics, control theory and other core electrical engineering subjects. I have taught students at various levels starting from age group 4-21. This experience not only allowed me to work very closely with different student groups, but also enriched my abilities as a team player in...

...listen again and respond again. Learning and teaching are two sides of the same coin, named "dialogue." My background is varied. I studied geology at Occidental College and Ohio State, regional planning at UMass, and, after several years, law at King Hall, U.C. Davis. My jobs have taken me across the country, tattooing endgangered butterflies in Albany New York, master planning airports in the Lower Yukon-Kuskokwin region of Alaska, regulating energy and telecommunications in California,...

...am a graduate of the University of Alabama with a Masters Degree in Applied Statistics. I've had the pleasure of teaching statistics at Faulkner State University, Shelton State Community College and the University of Alabama's business school. I enjoy helping students get past the statistics class they dread. I try to relate the material to things that will further their success in any subject area. Statistics and the math behind it is very relevant to...

...used to teach programming classes through Coding With Kids. At Vanderbilt University, I am pursuing degrees in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics. I tutor mostly math, physics, and chemistry, but I like physics most because of the problem solving aspects. My teaching philosophy is to focus on the basic concepts and make sure those are cemented, then to later focus on the nuances of problem solving. Outside of academia, I am interested in the...

Hi, my name is Justin. I love helping people succeed in the academic world. My passion is to see people grow and learn, especially in math, chemistry, physics and engineering. I look forward to meeting you and helping you further your education so you can realize your career aspirations.

...which is when something seems to click in a person's head and that person suddenly understands. I believe I inherited this love of understanding from my father; whenever he would teach me something and I had an "ah ha!" moment, he would get very excited, and that would cause me to get very excited as well. I have been a tutor on two separate occasions in the past: first I was hired at Ohlone College...

...tutor college students with their math and computer, but also can teach them on how to prepare for job interview for technology companies. My past experience as a software engineer at Facebook for the last summer, and my current experience as a full time software engineer at Amazon can help to guide students into the technology career path. I was a tutor at college when getting my MS degree at SFSU and I found that...
