Nicholas earned his B.S. in both mathematics and computer science from the University of Minnesota, so he understands the discipline from both the theoretical and practical sides. He digs into core topics like data structures, algorithm complexity, and recursion with the kind of mathematical precision that makes abstract concepts concrete. Whether a student is debugging their first linked list or analyzing Big-O notation, he breaks the problem down step by step.

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.
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.
Eric treats coding problems the same way he treats logical puzzles — by breaking them apart, finding the pattern, and building a solution step by step. As a CS major at Washington University in St. Louis, he's deep in Java and JavaScript right now, which means he can walk students through everything from writing their first function to structuring a full object-oriented program. His approach emphasizes learning to think through problems algorithmically before jumping to syntax.
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.
David's CS degree and hands-on Python experience mean he can take students from writing their first loop to tackling recursion, data structures, and algorithm design. He emphasizes explaining your reasoning — not just getting code to compile — because understanding why a solution works is what separates students who memorize syntax from those who can actually think like programmers. Rated 5.0 by students.
Currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, Broden covers everything from foundational topics like data structures and algorithm complexity to broader concepts like how operating systems manage processes. He connects theory to practice — explaining why a hash map outperforms a list for lookups, for instance, by benchmarking both in real code. Rated 5.0 by students.
Alexander's aerospace engineering degree means he learned to code the way engineers do — writing C++ and Java to solve physics simulations, optimize flight dynamics, and process real data, not just complete homework exercises. That background makes him especially sharp at teaching how programming concepts like memory management, recursion, and algorithm efficiency actually matter when code has to perform under constraints. Rated 5.0 by students.
Cory pairs his math degree with a computer science minor, which means he teaches programming concepts like loops, conditionals, and functions with an eye toward the mathematical logic underneath them. Students learning Java or Python get someone who can explain not just the syntax but why an algorithm works — tracing through the math that makes it correct. Rated 5.0 by students.
Programming starts making sense when you stop memorizing syntax and start thinking about what the computer is actually doing step by step. June's electrical engineering background at Brown gives her insight into both the hardware and software sides — she can explain why an algorithm is efficient, not just how to write it. From loops and conditionals to data structures and recursion, she connects each concept to real projects she's built in robotics and hackathons.
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.
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.
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.
I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!
Studying computer science at Duke means Susie is immersed in everything from algorithm analysis to systems design right now, which keeps her explanations current and grounded. She's especially sharp at connecting theoretical ideas like Big-O notation and recursion to the practical code students actually write. Co-founding a tutoring club in high school gave her early practice at making tough material click.
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.
From sorting algorithms and Big-O analysis to data structures like linked lists and binary trees, Rhamy covers the foundational CS concepts that show up in coursework and technical interviews alike. His computer engineering degree at Vanderbilt, paired with experience in multiple languages, lets him explain abstract ideas through concrete code. Rated 5.0 by students.
Software development taught Michael something that textbooks often skip: the discipline of decomposing a massive, ambiguous problem into small, testable pieces — and that's exactly how he teaches computer science. His professional coding experience across languages like Java, Python, Ruby, and C means he can ground abstract topics like object-oriented design or control flow in real working code rather than classroom-only exercises. Rated 4.9 by students.
Between his AP Computer Science 5 and his engineering coursework at Vanderbilt, William has written code across contexts — from introductory Java to computational modeling in his chemical engineering classes. He breaks down abstract concepts like recursion, data structures, and algorithm efficiency by walking through concrete examples line by line. Students who can follow the logic but freeze when writing code from a blank screen tend to gain traction quickly with his approach.
From data structures and algorithm analysis to the fundamentals of how operating systems and networks function, Nicholas covers computer science with the depth his Penn State CS degree provided. He's especially strong at explaining recursion, sorting algorithms, and Big-O notation — the concepts that separate students who can code from students who truly understand computation. Rated 5.0 by students.
Between a master's in Computer Science, an active PhD program, and a full-time software development career, Daniel lives this subject from multiple angles — theoretical and applied. He unpacks everything from algorithmic complexity and data structures to systems-level thinking, tailoring the depth to wherever a student currently sits in their CS journey.
