Award-Winning AP Computer Science Tutors
serving St. Louis, MO

I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to grow as an engineer or computer programmer.

I'm not taking care of my farm, I enjoy all crochet, embroidery, cross stitch and, quilting. I also enjoy building with Lego. My largest build so far is the Star Wars AT-AT!

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.

Computational problem-solving sits at the core of Srini's biophysics work at Brown, where modeling biological systems requires writing and debugging code regularly. He teaches AP Computer Science by grounding abstract ideas — algorithms, data representation, the internet's layered protocols — in concrete examples that make the material click on exam day.

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!

I am a master's student studying computer science at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been working as a private tutor for two years now, and I am currently a teaching assistant for an introductory course in discrete math at Penn. I love helping students conquer their fears of math and computer science, and I hope to dispel the myth that success in these areas requires special talent.

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.

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Physics and Classics and minoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm qualified to teach a wide variety of subjects, but prefer to focus on the fields I'm studying in school listed above; I have a passion for those areas that I want to share with everyone, no matter the education level or confidence. I believe that no one is "bad at math," but many people haven't been taught math and science concepts in a way that matches how they best learn. As a result, I try to tailor my teaching style to be the best it can be for each individual student. With regard to math and physics, I myself prefer a physical, graphical understanding of different concepts, so I do best at explaining what seemingly abstract concepts actually mean in the real world and how they act on a graph.

Brian owns a web design business alongside his CS studies at Case Western Reserve, so he's not just learning Java in a classroom — he's shipping real code and debugging real problems on a regular basis. That practical loop of building, breaking, and fixing software gives him a concrete way to teach AP Computer Science A topics like object-oriented design and algorithm tracing through actual examples rather than abstract diagrams. Rated 5.0 by students.

The AP Computer Science exams test specific Java skills — recursive methods, sorting algorithms, 2D arrays — but they also require students to trace code under time pressure. Jake's CS coursework and strong test prep background (1540 SAT) mean he knows how to teach both the programming concepts and the exam strategy simultaneously.

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying computer science, currently focusing on iOS and game development. I like growing as a person, but I find it much more interesting and rewarding to grow other people. Seeing a student change, not in intellect but in perspective, is fascinating. I like to focus more on concepts rather than memorization so that students will have the tools to excel in any facet of academia, beyond some random test that holds too much significance.

I am a Stanford student from Maryland studying Political Science and Computer Science. I graduated from high school in 2015, where I was active as the captain of my high school sailing team, a section leader in the orchestra, and part of the STEM magnet program Project Lead the Way. I am currently taking some time off from school to be around family here in Massachusetts and while I will be taking a few classes, I have plenty of time and lots of flexibility. I am excited to work with middle and high school students in math, reading and writing, social studies, and computer science. In addition to taking classes and tutoring this fall I will be volunteering in after school programs with low income middle and elementary school students.

I am an economics student at Brown University and recently completed a government-funded exchange year in Germany through the CBYX scholarship. My goal is to help you or your child make the most out of your time and learn in the ways suited to you!

Triple-majoring in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Economics at IUPUI means Darren lives in Java and algorithmic thinking daily — not just for one class, but across disciplines that each demand rigorous logic and clean code. That cross-disciplinary perspective is especially useful for AP Computer Science A's free-response questions, where breaking a problem into smaller computational steps mirrors the same decomposition skills his math and econ coursework reinforces every week.
