Sarah
Certified Python Tutor
Sarah
BA University of Pennsylvania
5+ Years Tutoring

Sarah's statistics minor at Penn involved writing Python scripts for data analysis — cleaning datasets, building visualizations, and automating repetitive calculations.

Matthew
Current Undergrad Student, Mathematics and Computer Science Harvard University
8+ Years Tutoring

Python's readability makes it easy to start but deceptively tricky to use well — list comprehensions, generator expressions, and class design all require thinking beyond basic scripts. Matthew teaches Python through the lens of someone who uses it alongside heavier languages like C++ and Java, which gives students a clearer sense of when to reach for Pythonic shortcuts versus writing more explicit code.

Ronil
MS University of Pennsylvania • BA University of Pennsylvania
5+ Years Tutoring

Between robotics coursework and biomedical engineering projects at Penn, Ronil writes Python to control hardware, process sensor data, and automate systems that bridge code and the physical world. That mechatronics context means he teaches scripting fundamentals — functions, loops, data handling — through projects where students can see their code actually make something move or respond. Rated 5.0 by students.

Lucas
BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
4+ Years Tutoring

Before tutoring Python, Lucas spent time as a lead instructor at Code Ninjas, teaching kids and teens to build actual games — which means he knows how to make a first programming language feel like a creative tool rather than a chore. His CS degree at Penn State covers Python, Java, and JavaScript, so he can explain Python-specific quirks like indentation rules and dynamic typing by contrasting them with how other languages handle the same ideas. Rated 4.9 by students.

Mark
BS Rochester Institute of Technology
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate from Rochester Institute of Technology with a master's in Game Design and Development. My passions lie in everything related to games and mathematics. In the past, I have tutored various subjects in mathematics throughout high school and college, including but not limited to Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Calculus, Discrete Mathematics, Mathematics of Graphical Simulation, and Linear Algebra. As for technology, I am more than happy to reach out for help in Web Development (HTML, CSS, Javascript) or C# programming. I believe that every person can learn any topic. While every individual has different tastes, strengths, and weaknesses, there is no such thing as an "incapability" to know a subject. Education often possesses a guise of anti-fun, but I can promise you that all topics can be engaging, and I am willing to show you how engaging mathematics and technology can be. As a Game Designer, I have a deep interest in both playing games and making games. This includes games of all kinds: video games, board games, tabletop role-playing games, trading card games, miniatures, and even some sports like tennis or ping pong. Games act as a fantastic teaching tool. They teach by design without users recognizing. It is always a satisfying moment when somebody says "I learned that word from Magic" or "D&D taught me that." Remember: you can succeed. If something is important to you, then it's always worthwhile.

Corrina
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

Python's simplicity makes it a great first language, but students still get tripped up by list comprehensions, object-oriented design, and debugging logic errors they can't quite see. Corrina writes Python regularly and teaches it by building small projects — from data analysis scripts to simple games — so each new concept has an immediate, visible purpose.

Nivedina
BA The University of Chicago • Doctor of Philosophy, Materials Engineering University of California-Berkeley
6+ Years Tutoring

Materials engineering PhD research generates mountains of experimental data, and Nivedina writes Python scripts to process, plot, and make sense of it all — from automating repetitive file parsing to running statistical analyses on lab results. That science-driven coding background means she teaches core concepts like loops, conditionals, and data structures through tasks that solve actual problems, not toy examples. Her chemistry training adds another layer, since students working on scientific computing or data cleanup get a tutor who genuinely understands the data they're handling.

William
BA Rice University
5+ Years Tutoring

Studying computer science at Rice, William writes Python not just for coursework but as his go-to tool for math-heavy projects — which means he can teach students to think algorithmically while picking up syntax along the way. He's especially good at bridging the gap for students who already think logically through math but freeze up when translating that logic into code with conditionals, loops, and functions.
