Certified AP Computer Science Tutor
Parker
Current Undergrad, Computer Science, Studio Art University of Miami
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science while double-majoring in studio art gives Parker an unusual edge when teaching AP Computer Science — he thinks visually about code structure, sketching out class hierarchies and loop logic as diagrams before translating them into Java. That creative problem-solving approach, paired with daily coursework in algorithms and data structures, means students get explanations tailored to how they actually think rather than a one-size-fits-all walkthrough. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sebastian
Current Undergrad, Computer Science University of Central Florida
1+ Years Tutoring

Recursion, sorting algorithms, and object-oriented design aren't just AP exam topics for Sebastian — they're concepts he uses daily in his computer science coursework at UCF. He teaches students to trace through code by hand before running it, building the kind of debugging intuition that turns a 3 into a 5. Free-response questions get special attention since that's where most points are left on the table.

Hassan
Current Undergrad, Computer Science University of Central Florida
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science at UCF while also tutoring Java and C++ means Hassan is actively writing the same kind of code AP Computer Science A tests — from designing classes to tracing through recursive methods — on a near-daily basis. He's especially strong at walking through the logic of free-response problems step by step, making sure students understand how each line executes before moving on. Rated 5.0 by students.

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!

Ankit
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.

William
Current Undergrad, Biomedical Engineering + Chemical Engineering Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Scoring a 5 on the AP Computer Science exam while simultaneously deep in calculus, biology, and chemistry APs gave William a clear picture of how CS thinking differs from other STEM disciplines — it's less about formulas and more about structuring logic step by step. His dual engineering track at Vanderbilt (biomedical and chemical) means he regularly writes code to process lab data and model systems, keeping Java concepts like iteration, array handling, and method design sharp through actual use rather than exam review alone.

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.
