Isaiah
BS Virginia Commonwealth University
2+ Years Tutoring

I have been coaching students to their best performance in math for seven years. I am fluent in all levels of math, primary, secondary, and freshman/sophomore university level. I am also fluent with the mathematics which one may find on the ACT, SAT, GRE, ASVAB, CLEP test and most standardized test. My background in Engineering also gives me a level of confidence with computer science and general sciences such as physics and chemistry. I have over a year of study in each myself. Overall, I have had much success working with students in various languages and levels of computer programming.

Hello, I currently work in an experimental quantum optics lab and will be enrolled in a quantum computing Ph.D. program at Rice University Fall 2026. I have been an employed tutor at my college (William and Mary) and during my high school career at the Governor's School at Innovation Park for 4 years. I struggled in my first physics class at George Mason University through my Governor's school as a junior in high school, but spent hours restructuring how I learned and approached problems to reach success! Physics and math are my true passions and I cannot wait to use the valuable lessons and strategies I learned to help and support you in your academic journey.

Kevin
MS Stanford University • BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Python's readability makes it a great first language, but it also powers serious work in machine learning, data analysis, and scripting — and Kevin has used it across all three at Stanford. Whether a student is debugging their first for-loop or building a neural network with NumPy and PyTorch, he explains not just the how but the why behind Pythonic design patterns and library choices.

Daniel
MS Cornell University • BA DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management-Florida
6+ Years Tutoring

Python's readability makes it a great first language, but students still stumble on list comprehensions, class inheritance, and debugging logic errors they can't see. Daniel writes Python professionally and teaches it with the precision of someone who holds a master's in CS and a bachelor's in applied mathematics. He connects each concept to real use cases — scripting, data manipulation, algorithm implementation — so the syntax sticks.

Evan
BA Harvard University • Current Grad Student, Statistics Harvard University
9+ Years Tutoring

As a statistics graduate student, Evan writes Python daily — building data pipelines, running simulations, and using libraries like pandas and NumPy for real analysis. He teaches programming the way he learned it: by solving actual problems, so students understand not just syntax but why specific data structures and control flows matter.

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.

Madeline
BA Siena College
7+ Years Tutoring

Physics research at Carnegie Mellon means Madeline writes Python daily — from NumPy arrays for data analysis to matplotlib visualizations and automating lab simulations. She teaches scripting the way she learned it: by building real projects that make loops, functions, and debugging feel purposeful rather than abstract.

Daria
Current Undergrad, Electrical and Computer Engineering Cornell University
10+ Years Tutoring

Daria's electrical and computer engineering coursework at Cornell means Python isn't just a classroom exercise — she uses it to program microcontrollers, process signals, and automate hardware-level tasks. That hands-on engineering context lets her teach variables, loops, and functions through projects that interact with the physical world, giving students a tangible reason to care about clean code.
