Keenan
Certified AP Computer Science Principles Tutor
Keenan
MS University of Pennsylvania • BA University of California Los Angeles
9+ Years Tutoring

Teaching discrete math at Penn means Keenan spends his weeks translating abstract computational thinking into language undergraduates actually absorb — a skill that maps directly onto AP CSP's pseudocode reasoning and algorithm analysis questions. His philosophy degree also gives him an unusual edge on the exam's societal-impact questions, where students need to construct clear written arguments about data privacy, bias in algorithms, and computing ethics. Rated 5.0 by students.

Tyler
MS Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

With a strong background in STEM education and administration, I am passionate about helping students achieve academic success through personalized learning. My experience as a high school STEM teacher has allowed me to guide students in subjects such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, renewable energy technology, supply chain management, and manufacturing systems. Additionally, my administrative expertise has honed my ability to provide structured and efficient support to learners of all levels. I have earned certifications from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, International Business Machines (IBM), and the New York Institute of Finance, dedicating years to making complex concepts more engaging and accessible. My tutoring style is adaptive, ensuring that each student's unique learning needs are met with patience and clarity. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel confident in tackling challenges and mastering new skills. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am particularly passionate about STEM-related fields, as they shape the future of technology and innovation. Beyond academics, I enjoy exploring advancements in artificial intelligence, renewable energy solutions, and automotive technology. My goal is to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning in every student I work with.

Abigail
BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
9+ Years Tutoring

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!

Brian
PhD University of California-Santa Cruz • BA California Institute of Technology
9+ Years Tutoring

Caltech's CS curriculum drills computational thinking at a level that makes AP CSP's big ideas — abstraction, algorithm design, data representation — feel like familiar territory for Brian. He teaches students to reason through pseudocode and explain their design choices in plain language, which is exactly what the Create Task and the multiple-choice exam reward. His 1580 SAT speaks to the kind of precise, analytical communication that carries across disciplines.

Manideep
BA Northwestern University
4+ Years Tutoring

Manideep's day-to-day at Northwestern splits between biology coursework and programming in Python for data analysis, which maps directly onto AP CSP's emphasis on how computing intersects with other fields. He teaches the algorithmic thinking and data representation concepts by tying them to problems he's actually solved — like modeling biological datasets — so the exam's Big Ideas feel grounded rather than abstract. Rated 5.0 by students.

Susie
Current Undergrad Student, Computer Science Duke University
9+ Years Tutoring

Most AP CSP students get tripped up not by the coding but by the Big Idea questions that ask them to reason about how computing affects the world — privacy, bias in algorithms, digital divide issues. Susie pairs her Duke CS coursework with a genuine interest in the humanities side of tech, which means she can coach students through both the conceptual exam material and the written responses on the Create Task without defaulting to jargon.

Giovanni
BA Emory University
6+ Years Tutoring

Giovanni's dual training in mathematics and computer science at Emory means he can teach the algorithmic thinking in AP CSP from both a coding perspective and a pure logic perspective — particularly useful when students hit pseudocode trace problems or need to reason through abstraction layers on the exam. He also brings hands-on experience in Java and Python, which gives him a practical toolkit for coaching students through the Create Task from initial design to final written response. Rated 5.0 by students.

Ronit
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

Ronit studies computer science at Yale and knows AP CSP's curriculum from the student side — which Big Ideas actually trip people up on the multiple-choice and where the Create Task rubric quietly punishes vague written responses. He digs into the explanatory writing piece that most students underestimate, teaching how to describe an algorithm's purpose and trace through pseudocode with the precision the exam expects.

Josh
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a current student at the University of Michigan. I am studying molecular biology in the school of literature, science, and the arts. I will graduate in 2025. I am most passionate about teaching SAT test material, because that was an area that I focused on and improved my own score to reach my goals. I am excited to teach both the english and the math sections. I teach using extensive practice problems and practice tests, because that is what helped me learn best and improve my relevant skills. In my spare time I like to workout, swim at the beach, and surf. I would love to work with you to achieve your goals!

Evan
MS Savannah College of Art and Design • BA University of Kentucky
3+ Years Tutoring

Evan's game development work in Unity — building systems that rely on abstraction layers, event-driven logic, and efficient data handling — maps directly onto the computational thinking AP CSP tests. He uses his own projects to show students how pseudocode translates into real design decisions, which makes the Create Task feel like building something instead of checking rubric boxes. His 34 ACT reflects the kind of cross-disciplinary reasoning this exam rewards.

Daniel's biomedical engineering coursework at Rice means he writes algorithms to process real biological data — exactly the kind of computational thinking AP CSP tests through its Big Ideas on data analysis and abstraction. He brings that applied perspective to the Create Task, coaching students to plan, build, and document projects that hit every rubric criterion without overcomplicating the code.

8+ Years Tutoring

Kerr is currently building iOS apps and games as a CS major at Vanderbilt, which means the programming and design thinking in AP CSP's Create Task mirrors what he does every week. He teaches pseudocode logic and algorithm design by connecting them to real development decisions — like why a particular data structure speeds up a game or how abstraction keeps an app's codebase manageable.
