Calin
Certified Computer Science Tutor
Calin
MS Babes Bolyai University • BA Babes Bolyai University
1+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy trained Calin to build rigorous logical arguments; his math and CS degrees taught him to express that logic in C++ and JavaScript. That combination means he teaches programming concepts — from algorithm design to data structure selection — as exercises in precise reasoning, where every line of code follows from a clear chain of thought. Rated 5.0 by students.

Andrew
Certified Computer Science Tutor
Andrew
BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

Andrew's computer science background comes from the engineering side — writing code to solve physical problems, model systems, and process data. That practical angle means he teaches programming concepts like loops, conditionals, and data structures through real applications rather than abstract exercises. Rated 4.8 by students.

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.

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.

Corrina
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

Corrina's mechanical engineering degree required extensive programming coursework, and she now teaches core computer science concepts — data structures, algorithms, Boolean logic, and computational thinking — in a way that makes abstract ideas tangible. She connects each concept to real applications, whether that's sorting algorithms in a search engine or conditionals inside a robot's control loop.

David
MS Stanford University • BA Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

A Stanford MS in Computer Science means David can teach everything from data structures and algorithms to object-oriented design with the depth that comes from building real systems — not just reading about them. He spent a summer teaching web and app development to high school students in Palestine, so he knows how to make abstract CS concepts click through hands-on projects.

Alston
BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
3+ Years Tutoring

Alston is pursuing a Computer Science degree at the University of Virginia, which means he's actively working through data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design — not recalling them from years ago. He breaks down concepts like recursion and sorting algorithms by walking through the logic step by step, letting students trace the code themselves until the pattern clicks.

Clive
BA Brown University
7+ Years Tutoring

Most CS tutors come from pure software backgrounds — Clive's path runs through economics at Brown, where he picked up Java, Python, JavaScript, SQL, and HTML as tools for data analysis and building real projects rather than just completing problem sets. That applied angle makes him especially effective at teaching programming fundamentals and web technologies to students who learn better when code solves a tangible problem.

Ju
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

Julia
BA Stanford University
6+ Years Tutoring

Julia is a computational science major at Stanford who writes code daily and understands the gap between knowing syntax and thinking like a programmer. She digs into core concepts like recursion, data structures, and algorithm design by walking through problems step by step until the logic becomes intuitive. Students learning Python, Java, or tackling their first real debugging challenge get someone who can explain the *why* behind every line.

Kevin
MS New York University • BA New York University
1+ Years Tutoring

Recursion, data structures, algorithmic complexity — these topics trip up students who try to memorize patterns without understanding why they work. Kevin holds both a bachelor's and master's in computer science from NYU, and he's the kind of tutor who will explain a concept three different ways until the logic genuinely lands. Rated 4.8 by students.

William
Current Undergrad, Biomedical Engineering + Chemical Engineering Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Between his AP Computer Science 5 and his engineering coursework at Vanderbilt, William has written code across contexts — from introductory Java to computational modeling in his chemical engineering classes. He breaks down abstract concepts like recursion, data structures, and algorithm efficiency by walking through concrete examples line by line. Students who can follow the logic but freeze when writing code from a blank screen tend to gain traction quickly with his approach.

Lance
BA University of Miami • Doctor of Medicine, Community Health and Preventive Medicine University of Miami
9+ Years Tutoring

A computer science degree paired with coursework in theoretical mathematics gives Lance an unusually strong grasp of the abstractions underneath the code — automata theory, algorithm complexity, data structures, and computational logic. He spent multiple semesters as a TA and independent instructor for CS courses, so he's seen firsthand which concepts trip students up and how to reframe them. Whether the topic is graph traversal or NP-completeness, he breaks it into pieces that actually make sense.

Elizabeth
BA Carthage College
6+ Years Tutoring

Elizabeth's computer science degree and professional software development career mean she teaches CS concepts the way they're actually used — not just as textbook definitions. Whether it's understanding recursion, tracing through data structures, or reasoning about algorithmic efficiency, she connects abstract ideas to real code she's written on the job.

Benjamin
BA University of Notre Dame
5+ Years Tutoring

Benjamin's finance and economics training at Notre Dame means he learned to code as a problem-solving tool — building models, analyzing datasets, and automating calculations — rather than through a traditional CS curriculum. That pragmatic entry point makes him effective at teaching programming logic and computational thinking to students who want to understand how code actually gets used in business and quantitative fields. Rated 5.0 by students.
