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.

Dennis
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.

John
MS New York University • BA Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

From data structures and algorithms to systems-level thinking, computer science covers enormous ground. John earned a BS in Computer Science and codes in Java, C++, and SQL, giving him the range to dig into whatever topic is causing trouble — whether that's recursion, Big-O analysis, or database design.

Calin
MS Babes Bolyai University • BA Babes Bolyai University
1+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy trained Calin to build rigorous logical arguments; his math and CS degrees taught him to express that logic in C++ and JavaScript. That combination means he teaches programming concepts — from algorithm design to data structure selection — as exercises in precise reasoning, where every line of code follows from a clear chain of thought. Rated 5.0 by students.

Nat
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

Learning to code is really learning to decompose problems — figuring out what a program needs to do before writing a single line. Nat is double-majoring in computer science at Vanderbilt and unpacks core topics like loops, conditionals, data structures, and algorithm design in ways that build genuine understanding. Whether a student is writing their first Python script or debugging recursive functions, he connects each concept to the logic behind it.

Clive
BA Brown University
7+ Years Tutoring

Most CS tutors come from pure software backgrounds — Clive's path runs through economics at Brown, where he picked up Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, and HTML as tools for data analysis and building real projects rather than just completing problem sets. That applied angle makes him especially effective at teaching programming fundamentals and web technologies to students who learn better when code solves a tangible problem.

Corrina
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

Corrina's mechanical engineering degree required extensive programming coursework, and she now teaches core computer science concepts — data structures, algorithms, Boolean logic, and computational thinking — in a way that makes abstract ideas tangible. She connects each concept to real applications, whether that's sorting algorithms in a search engine or conditionals inside a robot's control loop.

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.

Theresa
BA Rice University
9+ Years Tutoring

Biomedical engineering at Rice requires heavy computational coursework, so Theresa has tackled core computer science concepts — from object-oriented programming and data structures to algorithm complexity — in the context of solving real problems. She explains abstract ideas like recursion and sorting algorithms by connecting them to concrete examples rather than letting students drown in theory. Rated 5.0 by students.

Eric
Current Undergrad, Computer Science Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science at Cornell, Eric tackles everything from algorithm analysis and Big-O notation to systems-level concepts like memory management and recursion. He breaks down problems the way a CS student actually encounters them — whiteboarding a solution, tracing through edge cases, then translating logic into clean code. His 5.0 rating speaks to how clearly that approach lands.

Firas
BA Lebanese American University • Doctor of Philosophy, Computer Science New Jersey Institute of Technology
3+ Years Tutoring

From automata theory and computational complexity to practical algorithm design, Firas covers computer science as both a theoretical discipline and a hands-on craft. His Ph.D. research at the intersection of machine learning and big data means he can connect abstract CS concepts — graph traversals, runtime analysis, NP-completeness — to the systems that actually use them. 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!
