Milan
Certified Computer Science Tutor
Milan
BA Stanford University
1+ Years Tutoring

Learning to code is really learning to decompose problems, and that skill transfers whether the language is Java, Python, or something else entirely. Milan's CS degree grounds his teaching in fundamentals like control flow, data structures, and algorithmic complexity rather than surface-level syntax drills. He also draws on his English background to emphasize clear documentation and readable code.

Certified Computer Science Tutor
Dennis
BA Rutgers University (New Brunswick)
1+ Years Tutoring

Understanding data structures like arrays, linked lists, and sorting algorithms matters more than memorizing syntax — and that distinction is where Dennis spends most of his time. His background spans Java, JavaScript, and web development, so he can show how core CS concepts translate across languages and real projects.

Sarah
BA Clark University
15+ Years Tutoring

Sarah's mathematics background means she's comfortable with the algorithmic and logical thinking that underpins computer science — concepts like recursion, Big-O analysis, and Boolean logic map directly onto the math she studied at Clark. She approaches programming problems the same way she approaches proofs: break the problem down, identify the structure, then build the solution step by step.

Brian
PhD University of California-Santa Cruz • BA California Institute of Technology
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.

Christina
BA Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am starting graduate school this fall. My experiences as a student and scientist help me explain concepts and work through problems in a clear and engaging manner. I love teaching, and strive to make each personalized lesson enjoyable and productive. In addition to math and science, I can teach the skills and strategies students need to reach their goals on the ACT, GRE, or AP tests. I also enjoy working with elementary age students to increase reading and math proficiencies.

Benjamin
BA University of Notre Dame
5+ Years Tutoring

Benjamin's finance and economics training at Notre Dame means he learned to code as a problem-solving tool — building models, analyzing datasets, and automating calculations — rather than through a traditional CS curriculum. That pragmatic entry point makes him effective at teaching programming logic and computational thinking to students who want to understand how code actually gets used in business and quantitative fields. Rated 5.0 by students.

Abigail
BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!

Ethan
BA University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
4+ Years Tutoring

From recursion and sorting algorithms to Big-O analysis and object-oriented design, Ethan covers core computer science concepts with the rigor of someone studying it as a second major alongside aerospace engineering. He emphasizes understanding why an algorithm works — tracing through execution step by step — so students can adapt their thinking to new problems on exams and in projects.
