Immanuel
BA University of Washington • AS Bellevue College
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm a tutor who loves the moment when a concept finally clickswhether that's solving a calculus problem or debugging a first Python script. With experience teaching math from elementary to college level and professional training in full-stack development, I help students build confidence alongside competence in both math and programming. At Mathnasium, I worked with groups of 4-6 students at different levels, learning to adapt quickly to different learning styles. I bring that same flexibility to teaching HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages. I don't just give answersI guide students to discover solutions themselves because that's what sticks. Whether it's explaining why a for-loop isn't working, walking through derivatives, preparing for the SAT, or building a first web page, I focus on understanding over memorization. I'm patient but direct, and I adjust my approach based on what's actually working for each student. My goal is simple: make learning feel achievable, not intimidating, and give students tools they can use long after our sessions end.

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.

June
BA Brown University
1+ Years Tutoring

Programming starts making sense when you stop memorizing syntax and start thinking about what the computer is actually doing step by step. June's electrical engineering background at Brown gives her insight into both the hardware and software sides — she can explain why an algorithm is efficient, not just how to write it. From loops and conditionals to data structures and recursion, she connects each concept to real projects she's built in robotics and hackathons.

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.

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.

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.
