Award-Winning Computer Science Tutors

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

Trained in computer science at UT Austin and currently pursuing a PhD that blends computational methods with social science, David brings both theoretical depth and applied versatility to CS instruction. He digs into core topics like algorithm analysis, data structures, and computational complexity, connecting them to the kind of real-world problem-solving that makes the discipline click.

Earning a computer science minor at Penn meant Cody went deep on data structures, algorithms, and programming logic alongside students in one of the country's top CS programs. His cognitive science major adds an unusual edge: he understands how people learn to think computationally, which makes him effective at explaining recursion, sorting algorithms, or Big-O analysis in ways that actually stick.

Allison's CS degree from Dartmouth means she's worked through the full arc — from writing first programs to tackling data structures, algorithms, and computational theory. She unpacks abstract concepts like recursion and Big-O analysis by walking through concrete code examples, making the logic visible before the notation takes over.

Margaret studies Computer Science at Stanford alongside Political Science, giving her a broad perspective on how computational thinking applies beyond just writing code. She breaks down core topics like data structures, algorithms, and recursion by connecting each one to real problems students can visualize. Rated 4.8 by her students.

A Stanford MS in Computer Science means David can teach everything from data structures and algorithms to object-oriented design with the depth that comes from building real systems — not just reading about them. He spent a summer teaching web and app development to high school students in Palestine, so he knows how to make abstract CS concepts click through hands-on projects.

I'm trying to work on personal projects. I really enjoy snowboarding, and have been doing that since the third grade. I also enjoy playing sports and video games.

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!

Holding both a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Kentucky and a game development master's in progress at SCAD, Evan covers the full stack of CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithm analysis, object-oriented design, and software architecture. He connects abstract concepts like Big-O complexity or recursion to concrete implementations in C, C++, and Java so the theory actually sticks.

From computer architecture and theory to parallel computing and machine learning, Brandon's master's coursework at RIT covers the full stack of computer science concepts. His two years of professional industry experience mean he can connect abstract topics — algorithm complexity, concurrency models, data structures — to how they actually show up in production code. Students rated him 4.9, which tracks with his ability to make dense CS material feel approachable.

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.

Julia is a computational science major at Stanford who writes code daily and understands the gap between knowing syntax and thinking like a programmer. She digs into core concepts like recursion, data structures, and algorithm design by walking through problems step by step until the logic becomes intuitive. Students learning Python, Java, or tackling their first real debugging challenge get someone who can explain the *why* behind every line.

Earning a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning at Princeton gave Julie hands-on experience with core computer science concepts — algorithm design, data structures, and computational complexity. She approaches CS the way she approaches philosophy: by asking students to reason through *why* a solution works, not just whether it compiles.
