Michael
Certified Computer Science Tutor
Michael
BA University of Calgary
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kevin
BA Case Western Reserve University
7+ Years Tutoring

Between his engineering curriculum and competition math background, Kevin tackles computer science from both the theoretical and applied sides — algorithm complexity, recursion, sorting strategies, and how hardware constraints shape software decisions. He's especially effective at translating the mathematical foundations of CS into intuition students can actually use when writing and debugging code.

Eric
BA Ohio University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

Sylvester
MS Case Western Reserve University • BA Case Western Reserve University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate with a master's in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. I won the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship which covers full tuition up to Ph.D. I was on the Dean's List for three consecutive years. Additionally, I won the OZY Media Genius Award in 2015 to work on high-temperature superconductors. I currently work as a Technology Analyst at Accenture. I am also seriously considering whether I should go for a Ph.D. or not.

Brian
BA Case Western Reserve University
1+ Years Tutoring

Between his CS degree at Case Western Reserve and running a web design business, Brian writes code in both academic and real-world contexts every day. He unpacks foundational topics like data structures, sorting algorithms, and recursion by connecting them to practical applications — showing why a hash map outperforms a list search, or how recursion models real problems like file system traversal.

Samuel
BA Ohio State University-Main Campus
5+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science engineering at Ohio State with honors, Samuel digs into the discipline well beyond surface-level coding — think algorithm complexity, memory management, and how data structures like hash maps and trees actually work under the hood. He connects abstract CS theory to real implementations so the concepts stick long after the exam.

Luke
BA Ohio State University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Two years writing computerized tasks for Ohio State's Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory taught Luke how to translate experimental logic into working code — structuring programs around precise conditions, variables, and outcomes. That lab experience, combined with his Java and AP Computer Science teaching, means he approaches programming as applied problem-solving rather than abstract syntax drills. Rated 4.8 by students.

Maxwell
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
10+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about the subject, they may feel that they can tap into that passion. Second, I like to engage the student personally. Education can sometimes feel transactional or even coercive. I want my student to feel that I am working for their benefit, and because I care about them, not because I'm getting paid.

Sery
Engineering in Computer Science, Computer Science Ohio State University-Main Campus
8+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about teaching because I love helping someone understand and become confident in a concept that previously baffled them. I am a student at The Ohio State University working towards a Computer Science degree. I have experience tutoring math up through AP Calculus BC, French, and AP Literature. My experience in tutoring comes from the free weekly French tutoring program I initiated at my high school, which grew to me tutoring other subjects as well. My teaching philosophy involves discussion and helping the student come to an answer themselves, which allows the topic to stick. Because of this one of my favorite subjects to tutor is writing. Writing tutoring helps the student grow and allows them to see the problems in their writing themselves. Outside of academia I enjoy calligraphy and playing piano.

Anna
BA Brown University
8+ Years Tutoring

Three Bachelor of Science degrees — including Neuroscience — meant Anna was writing code long before she started teaching it, using Java, Python, and MATLAB to analyze data and build computational models across disciplines. That cross-field experience shapes how she teaches CS fundamentals: students don't just learn syntax, they learn to think about what a program needs to do before structuring it in any particular language. Rated 5.0 by students.

Jonathan
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying both chemical engineering and computer science at Cornell gives Jonathan an unusual angle on programming — he's constantly writing code to solve quantitative, real-world problems rather than just completing standalone assignments. That dual perspective makes him especially effective at teaching algorithmic thinking and Java or Python fundamentals, since he can show students how CS concepts like iteration and data manipulation actually get applied in technical fields outside of software development.
