Award-Winning AP Computer Science Tutors
serving New Haven, CT

I am an incoming student at Yale University studying computer science and economics. I'm also interested in math and chemistry. My favorite area to tutor is SAT, specifically the SAT math section. In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf, cooking, and reading thriller novels. I'm excited to start working with you!

Swarthmore's CS curriculum throws students into Java early and often, so Eric isn't just reviewing AP Computer Science A material — he's actively building on it in his own coursework every week. That proximity to the content means he can pinpoint exactly where topics like array manipulation or class hierarchy design tend to trip students up, and explain them in the clear, plain-language style his liberal arts training sharpened.

The AP Computer Science exam tests both coding fluency and the ability to trace through unfamiliar code under time pressure. Shlomo tackles both sides — drilling array manipulation, recursion, and ArrayList operations while also teaching the test-taking strategy that keeps students from burning time on free-response questions. His math background is especially useful for the algorithm-analysis problems that blend logic with computation.

Two years writing computerized tasks for Ohio State's Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory gave Luke hands-on experience building software to solve real research problems — the kind of structured, logical coding that maps directly onto AP Computer Science A topics like control flow, method design, and class construction. His psychology training also sharpens how he explains tricky concepts, since he's attuned to where confusion actually originates rather than just what the correct answer looks like. Rated 4.8 by students.

AP Computer Science isn't listed among Hannah's core subjects, but her physics degree required writing code to model systems, analyze data, and solve computational problems — skills that map directly onto the algorithmic thinking and logical reasoning the AP exam tests. She's strongest at teaching students to slow down and trace through control flow and conditionals methodically, the same systematic approach her physics training drilled into her.

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Jett codes in Java, Python, and C as part of his electrical and computer engineering program at UT Austin, so the AP Computer Science A curriculum — from writing classes to implementing algorithms — overlaps with work he's already doing for his degree. Where he especially shines is connecting programming logic to the underlying hardware, explaining how a for-loop or recursive call actually executes at the machine level, which makes debugging and tracing problems far less mysterious. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am a current sophomore at Cornell University pursuing a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, math, and lab sciences. I love applying engineering problem-solving skills to the biological sciences. For the past year, I have been a teaching assistant for introductory biology classes. In my free time, I participate in cancer immunotherapy research which focuses on melanoma.

I am very passionate about teaching material in a way that works with each student's personal learning needs and making sure that they understand the material at its core, not just how to answer a test question. Because I majored in Neuroscience, I have expertise in a wide range of sciences, as Neuroscience is a very interdisciplinary subject. I have also had extensive experience in Computer Science. Outside of Neuroscience, I devoted a lot of time to studying the humanities. I even started a blog my junior year as an outlet to further pursue these academic interests! As a result, I also enjoy tutoring in Literature, English, and Writing.

Ryan studies computer science at UVA and knows the AP Computer Science curriculum inside out — from object-oriented design and recursion to array manipulation and sorting algorithms in Java. He teaches students to think through problems before writing a single line of code, building the kind of algorithmic reasoning that earns 5s on the exam. Rated 5.0 by students.

Engineering coursework trains you to think in systems — breaking complex problems into modular, testable pieces — which is exactly the reasoning AP Computer Science A demands when students write classes, trace through nested loops, or debug recursive methods. Wesley's biomedical engineering degree and research in biophysical chemistry mean he's been coding to solve real scientific problems, not just completing textbook exercises. That applied perspective makes abstract Java concepts feel purposeful rather than arbitrary.

While computer science isn't John's primary credential, his engineering training at a program rigorous enough to earn Tau Beta Pi membership gave him strong foundations in algorithmic thinking and problem decomposition. He approaches AP Computer Science concepts like recursion, sorting algorithms, and object-oriented design with the structured logic of an engineer who learned to code as a working tool.
