Nicholas codes in Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, and HTML/CSS daily — so when AP CSP asks students to reason about algorithms or data representation in pseudocode, he can instantly translate those abstractions into real programming scenarios that make the logic click. His Penn State CS degree also means he understands the networking and cybersecurity concepts woven through the course at a technical level most high schoolers never see. Rated 5.0 by students.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Computer Science Principles focuses on broad computational thinking skills rather than heavy programming. The course covers five big ideas: creativity, abstraction, data and information, algorithms, and impacts of computing. You'll work with different programming languages, explore how the internet works, examine cybersecurity and privacy, and complete the Create Performance Task—a significant project that demonstrates your ability to design and build a computational artifact. For students in Bronx preparing for the exam, understanding these conceptual foundations is just as important as coding ability.
Your first session typically involves assessing your current programming experience, understanding which units you find most challenging, and identifying gaps in computational thinking. A tutor will review past assignments or practice problems to pinpoint areas like algorithm design, data representation, or the Create Performance Task requirements. This helps create a personalized study plan that focuses on your specific needs, whether that's building coding confidence or mastering the exam's multiple-choice section.
Many students struggle with the Create Performance Task—balancing creativity with technical documentation and meeting College Board requirements. Others find the transition between different programming languages confusing, or they underestimate the conceptual depth needed to explain algorithms and data representation. The multiple-choice section often trips up students who haven't practiced identifying how computing impacts society or haven't fully grasped abstraction concepts. Targeted tutoring helps you tackle these specific hurdles before test day.
Score improvement depends on where you're starting and how consistently you engage with tutoring. Students who work with a tutor on practice exams, the Create Performance Task, and weak concept areas typically see meaningful gains—often 1–2 score points on the 1–5 scale. The national average AP Computer Science Principles score is around 2.8, so focused preparation can help you move from a 2 to a 3 or 4. Real improvement comes from understanding why you miss questions and practicing the specific skills tested.
Practice tests are essential because they reveal which units need more work and help you get comfortable with the exam's format and pacing. Unlike some AP exams, CSP's multiple-choice section requires deep conceptual understanding, not just memorization—practice tests show you where your reasoning breaks down. Taking full-length practice exams under timed conditions also builds confidence and helps you develop a strategy for the 120-minute exam. A tutor can review your results to pinpoint exactly what to study next.
The Create Performance Task is a major component of your AP score—you design, build, and document a computational artifact (like an app or program) that demonstrates your understanding of computing concepts. You'll need to explain your code, describe your design process, and reflect on how it impacts users. Many students struggle with balancing technical depth with clear communication or meeting College Board's specific documentation requirements. A tutor can guide you through the entire process, from brainstorming ideas to refining your written explanations and ensuring your project meets scoring criteria.
The 120-minute exam includes 70 multiple-choice questions and the performance task submission (which you complete beforehand). For the multiple-choice section, aim to spend about 1–1.5 minutes per question, which gives you time to read carefully and think through conceptual questions. Don't rush through questions about societal impacts or data representation—these require careful reasoning, not quick answers. Tutoring can help you practice pacing strategies and identify which question types take you longer, so you can adjust your approach on test day.
Look for tutors with strong computer science backgrounds, ideally with experience teaching or tutoring AP Computer Science Principles specifically. They should understand both the technical coding aspects and the conceptual big ideas the exam emphasizes. Experience helping students with the Create Performance Task is a major plus, as is familiarity with College Board's scoring rubrics and common student mistakes. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Bronx who have proven success preparing students for this exam.
