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.

Ryan
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

Ryan is a computer science major at Cornell, which means he's actively working through the same core curriculum — algorithms, data structures, computational complexity — that college CS students encounter. He explains concepts like recursion, Big-O analysis, and graph traversal by tracing through concrete examples rather than relying on abstract definitions. Rated 4.8 across his sessions.

Anna
BA Brown University
8+ Years Tutoring

Three Bachelor of Science degrees — including Neuroscience — meant Anna was writing code long before she started teaching it, using Java, Python, and MATLAB to analyze data and build computational models across disciplines. That cross-field experience shapes how she teaches CS fundamentals: students don't just learn syntax, they learn to think about what a program needs to do before structuring it in any particular language. Rated 5.0 by students.

Lance
BA University of Miami • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine University of Miami
9+ Years Tutoring

A computer science degree paired with coursework in theoretical mathematics gives Lance an unusually strong grasp of the abstractions underneath the code — automata theory, algorithm complexity, data structures, and computational logic. He spent multiple semesters as a TA and independent instructor for CS courses, so he's seen firsthand which concepts trip students up and how to reframe them. Whether the topic is graph traversal or NP-completeness, he breaks it into pieces that actually make sense.

Cody
BA University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

David
MS Stanford University • BA Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.
